4 Americans killed by ISIS today and not one word from Trump, not even thoughts and prayers. How shameful.

US service members were killed in the attack, according to a tweet from the spokesperson for the US-led coalition Operation Inherent Resolve."

Sorry President Trump, it seems ISIS isn't on the run after all.

One guy with a suicide vest doesn't signal ISIS is back.........

Over 500 milllion (a low figure - probably a billion plus) DOES mean they are back. It was stupid (or too early) for them to unify the Islamic World under One Fundie Gubment, but there are certainly enough people who want revenge against the West to keep them in business forever.

In fact, sometimes I think that is our policy - stir up hornets nests so we can spend a trillion or more per year on our Security State. No one ever stops to think about that attrition - we spend perhaps 100X or more as much as they do for "par"

That can't work out too well in the end.

10's of thousands of Iraqis are being killed by their own government just because they happened to be where ISIS took over.....
https://www.npr.org/2018/12/19/67813...ign-of-revenge

Please read at least this quote - from someone who has BEEN THERE FOR YEARS.

"But the fighters who have escaped detection have essentially gone to ground. The group has laundered an estimated $400 million through legitimate businesses throughout the region, and those investments are growing. They've also buried cash in berms in the desert along with caches of weapons, which will be used at a later date. They've already returned, in Iraq, to carrying out abductions and assassinations of members of the security forces. So the group is already showing signs of its resurgence, and the problem is that the Iraqi state response has been so vengeful that the group still has popular support in certain areas."

It wouldn't surprise me if our guys or our "ally's" did this to stop the withdrawal talk.
Bingo.

Ya know, it really makes no sense how Trump, and now Pence, can fabricate total misinformation, and stand up there and say it as if it is gospel. Especially Pence. We have come to understand that Trump has no moral compass and spews out one lie after another, machinegun style......that is who he is, and nothing will ever change that...…..it is a sickness, and, in his case, incurable.


But Pence claims to be this upright Christian, with great morals and conviction. To see him parroting the same outright lies that his boss has said, and doing it with a straight face, is the part I do not understand. Every military expert, every military leader, and everyone who knows the reality, will tell you that ISIS is NOT DEAD. For anyone to say they are is utterly absurd.


What a screwy Presidency !

That one guy got his suicide vest from an organization, a.k.a ISIS.

What do you think, that the guy was out for little stroll and decided to blow himself and others to smithereens ? This was a planned, orchestrated attack, by a GROUP, not by one lone wolf.

Time to get your head out of the sand, or wherever it might be, and start accepting reality. Anyone who thinks a group like ISIS is beaten because they have lost some members does not understand ISIS and radical groups. You kill one, five more pop up.

That’s exaclty the reason we’re withdrawing.

They can’t kill any Americans if there are no Americans there

It's the bible thumpers who are the worst. If Jesus came back today and preached his gospel, these so called Christians would crucify him again. There is nothing righteous about a guy like Pence...seriously.
