Unless we plan to stay in Iraq for 1000 years then expect this outcome. This is the area that I thought Trump would make changes to. Seems he is just like Obama and George W.

Does anyone even know what a “Win” looks like in Iraq or Afghanistan? What is the objective?

What's sad is when you feel compelled to deliberately misrepresent other posters at every turn.

Dishonest

They've been invading Europe for the last 10 years.

Let the Middle East fight their own battles. That all hate each other anyways.

They also hate us, and Israel, and while Trump supporters are willing to turn a blind eye, I think it is a fatal error.

Agreed...hindsight is 20/20. We disrupted the Middle Easts balance of power. I hope we learn from it.

The Europeans are just now waking up to the invasion. I hope its not too late. That is what Brexit is all about, and I think Bojo will stop the invasion. Merkle's on her last leg too, and her replacement will join with Bojo to end the invasion, and maybe even undo some of it.

This is why they are on such a long losing streak. Retaking the House is the only win they've had in quite a long time, and I think that will be reversed in Nov 2020. Yang is the only Dem who sees it, and he's articulating it brilliantly.

ISIS is reorganising in Iraq to become an 'Al Qaeda on steroids' with 'better techniques, and more money'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-steroids.html

ISIS is reorganising in Iraq to become an 'Al Qaeda on steroids' with 'better techniques' and 'a lot more money', intelligence officials warned today.

The militants are said to be posing an increased threat after becoming more skilled and dangerous than Al Qaeda, two years after losing the last of their territory in Iraq.

The group have been buying vehicles, weapons, food supplies and equipment - and now have more technological nous, Kurdish and Western intelligence officials said.
So what is the government and military in the country of Iraq doing about it?

Let Putin fight all the wars in the Middle East. Not us! Been there & done that. Ignore the little fat NK dictator. He's China's responsibility...not ours. At least Trump tried.

tRump's weakness is on open display.

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for Trump to tuck tail and cut and run, giving over control to Russia in the hot zone of ISIS growth.
