The problem is what do we call defeated? We’ve taken 99% of their lands back, decimated their command and control, and removed all income sources. They are defeated, but can they still strike out? Sure. Can they run sustained operations and reclaim land? No. Unfortunately we are fighting an ideology. You can’t stamp it out or take its surrender.

That's a good point and while I'm not sure how accurate the movie Vice is but after 9-11 and before the invasion of Iraq the administration was using focus groups and people had a hard time wrapping their heads around a "War on Terror"...they needed an enemy, a country....hence....Iraq...jus sayin.

i agree. but many people, including your buddy mattis, told trump that isis isn't defeated and he should stop saying it. but the baffoon didn't listen. he can't have it both ways, which is what he wants.

Mattis works in nuance and educated wisdom in which he already played this game with Dubya and mission accomplished in Iraq. Trump, is a mental midget.

Exactly, if we stay until the threat of another attack from ISIS ever again , then buckle up for 100 yrs or more.
