Let me unpack this. You say that ISIS is fully functioning due to one IED.. then say Trump is lying about their status.. all the while you are evidently not in agreement with him to withdraw troops even though there are US casualties in the region.

You are going to have to pick a side here. You want them to stay and face more random attacks or leave and be in agreement with the President?

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

using the deaths of soldiers to push your lame agenda makes you an a-hole. Its still a combat zone and you know it, so frick yourself.

Do you want to tell Trump that? He said ISIS in Syria was defeated.

My simple point is that he lied when he made this statement and we all knew it then and know it now.

So an incident that occurs after a statement makes that original statement a lie.

So “defeated” can never.. ever.. be used in the context of a military triumph without an official surrender ever again?

Based on the evidently very truthful Obama.. ISIS was a JV team that would be easy to defeat. So it’s not far fetched that they have been defeated. Correct?

All evidence at the time of his statement were contrary to the idea that ISIS in syria was "defeated"... they did and still have a presence there so it was and still is a lie.

Just as more evidence at the time of Obama’s statement they were a “JV team” was contrary to the facts? Was that a lie or was it truth?

And if it is truth.. why should it be hard to fathom that they were defeated?

If our troops aren't there to be singled out and killed, the people there can't single out and killed them.

However, things like this need not happen. Its senseless to be involved on the ground over there. Its none of our business, and the quicker we get out of that region, the sooner the people who actually have a stake in the outcome over there can figure it out.

Western government will not work there, not while any of us are alive anyway.

Who would have ever thought ISIS would back off for an extended period of time, only to return when the opposition has built up their confidence in a victory.

Donald Trump is smarter than his Generals... ask him.

Of course, he didn't.

He just takes the opposite of Trump on everything.

It's really weird. TDS is real.
