Dan Bongino: At their peak, the so-called Islamic State did resemble a State, albeit a fascist one. The terror group controlled over 40,000 square kilometers in territory, which was self-sustained through taxes on locals, smuggling, looting, seized oil fields, ransoms, and extortion, backed by an army of over 40,000 foreign fighters alone (and many more local fighters). Or as Barack Obama called them, “al-Qaeda’s JV team.”

Obama severely underestimated ISIS’ strength during their rise, and thus the U.S. was late to the game in combating the terror group, which has now been territorially defeated. Trump said yesterday (Wednesday) that ISIS would be defeated by the end of the day, which came a day after Syrian forces said ISIS last territory (less than three square kilometers) in Baghouz is under full control (with militants cornered). Only the most comitted zealots remain.
Trump posted before and after images of ISIS territory on inauguration day vs. now on his Twitter, appearing to take credit for the demolition of ISIS. It must be emphasized that this claim is only accurate when phrased as a territorial defeat of ISIS, though the destruction of the “Caliphate” aspect of the group will severely damage their credibility (to prospective Islamists). more here
fuck yes
Somewhere between “Mission Accomplished” and “JV Team” lies the sweet spot. Trump will find it.
I’m kinda surprised Bongino, of all people, is splitting hairs on the president’s language around this. I think even the dullards on the Left know (admitting it is another matter) that POTUS Trump has been YUGELY successful wiping ISIS (or obama’s beloved “ISIL”) out in its caliphate stronghold.
Oh Hell yes!
Yes in respect to his letting the military do their job. Nice having battles fought by soldiers instead of politicians.
Fuck No! Trump didn’t do that. It was Obama. Trump only continued with
Obama’s brilliant plan to “fundamentally change America,” and kick ass all over the world where need be while apologizing for all the bad shit America did over the centuries.
OK Shoot me! MAGA Baby MAGA!. The phucking Mueller Report went PFuff!
675 days, and 500 years of my wages up in smoke in an investigation that Barney Fife would solve in a month, with Andy’s help, of course. And Aunt Bee, and Opie. Fogetaboutit!
I Love My President. He’s the Bee’s knees.
TERMINOLOGY IS IMPORTANT:
I’LL KEEP IT SIMPLE:
IF YOU USE “ISIS”, YOU ARE PRO-ISRAEL
IF YOU USE “ISIL”, YOU ARE PRO-PALESTINIAN
OBAMA ALWAYS USED “ISIL”
TRUMP ALWAYS USES “ISIS”
MAGA/KAGA
As long as Trump is colluding with the russians, how about we load up an Antonov An-225 Mriya full of media progs and kick them out the back in an ariel raid to defeat ISIS? I mean, if he’s already taking the blame for it….
The problem is the 1400 year old ideology lives on and is finding more success with stealth jihad. They just (theoretically anyway) disarmed New Zealand.
He didn’t completely defeat ISIS. There’s still Obama, couple of dem congress critters, and all members of CAIR.
RickeyG, you are right. Ironically, NZ will now become a soft target as they counter the “white threat” but not the Islamic scourge.
P.Trump gets no credit ever. I heard on CBS that there are still ISIS fighters in caves getting ready to fight to the death.
Might take them 3 years to kill them all.
Obama didn’t underestimate shit. Obama is treasonous pond slime. Obama IS the enemy, just like all of the rest of the globalist corksoakers.
A gibbet for ALL!
give Obama credit … 8 years to build it
give Trump credit … 2 years to destroy it
Geoff. Yes there were Japs in caves, on Islands, for forty years after the war. CBS is not aware of that, believe me. Their reporters are too phucking young and stupid to realize that.
Most reporters today, who blather away and influence young people, have never read a book. Children should be encouraged to read at home.
The schools are not reliable to educate your children.
SUE MOSQUES FOR DAMAGES DUE TO THEIR MEMBERS
What people don’t realize, is you can sue an organization for damages, and basically get it shut down.
CASE IN POINT A few KKK members beat up a few people, they sued claiming the organization promoted and encouraged the attacks. They lost, sold all of their buildings at their headquarters, were on the hook for other damages. They essentially don’t exist in one area anymore.
You can sue a mosque for the same thing and shut them down.
Their propaganda wing known as CNN/MSNBC is still going strong
Obama.didnt underestimate anything. The scumbag is a traitor, and was at war againt our country and on the side of isis. Him and jarrett should be hanged.
The US military does, along with all of the allies who helped.. from the lowest grunts up to the Commander in Chief!
Did the Lord God Obama
defeat ISIS
He made ISIS treachery possible
by declaring them the
” jv team ”
and doing NOTHING
to stop their advance.
On this alone Obama should be thought of a traitor.
But he isn’t a traitor because he never was a citizen.
He should be remembered as an IMPOSTER
Because that’s what he is !
Ferdinand Waldo DeMara has just been
DEMOTED !
Gosh. And what happened to the Daesh?
