They need to speed up getting out of there before more are killed.

As they said in the same podcast where they talked about the 100's of millions - you can't kill an idea.
So do you think staying in Syria is a good idea?
I'm sure ISIS has plenty of money. Are you saying we should stay until it is all gone, or are you saying we should stay until terrorists kill all Americans in Syria.....
'Cuz your position is just all confusing to me....

With its money-making operation diminished and ability to secure assets locally impaired, the diplomats say that IS has begun looking for safe havens to store its wealth, in effect reversing the measures it employed to channel funds into onetime strongholds in Syria and Iraq.

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.
Don't know, don't care.

All we have to do is keep them out of our country, and nothing could be easier. But people like you insist that we let them in.

Just as long as we agree that this was a lone wolf attack.
That way we can stop with the "but I thought he said...." nonsense.

Nazis are no way comparable to Islamic terrorists. To try to make logic out of your statement is beyond impossible. When you have idiots who think they are going to receive their reward when they blow themselves up, there is almost no way to ever stop them 100%. They proved that on 9/11, and will try some similar act in the future. We just haven't seen what yet.

And you said exactly why we should not be there. This is not an ISIS issue, ISIS is just one of many groups, a replica of groups in the past and in the future, it is just another name, face of what is Islamic extremism. Defeat ISIS, that does not even mean anything. People can pop up claiming loyalty to ISIS for hundreds of years if they want, or some yet new group will come into force.

But yet for some reason, some people will think this thousand year old extremist ideology will be defeated with some troops illegally occupying some corner of a country.

You should tell Pence and Trump this, it’d be news to them...
