Defeated" does not mean "largely mitigated." Sorry. Your statement is a second lie, not that it matters to you.

Defeated also doesn’t mean completely eradicated, which is what you want to imply was said while pretending to be reasonable.

ISIS is an uncontrolled gang. They’re not a defined military or entity represented by a foreign state.

There’s not going to be a surrender. The only literal way to defeat something of that nature is to kill them all which isn’t possible.

Therefore, it can only be...mitigated.

I’m more inclined to believe the man meant that instead of what you want to think.
