Well... To be fair, Manbij was taken from ISIL by SDF forces last summer, with some US aid.

Apparently the fighting was intense:

U.S. Army Colonel Christopher Garver, chief spokesman for the US military command in Iraq and Syria, commented that fighting was "very intense", describing it as "different than what we've seen in Fallujah [or] Ramadi" and concluding that "this is a fight like we haven't seen before."

Do you have a source for this calumny on the CIA?

[elhombrelibre]

Thanks for the ping. It’s odd how many seem to believe ISIS is invincible.

You’re right; most of them will die in Raqqa. Their HQ’s or Caliphate is going to be taken. There still will be cells and danger from them, but they’ll own no land and will be pursued by their many enemies. America haters will attribute super powers to them, but they’re being destroyed.

Collapse. There is much more firepower being brought against them now.

I hope that the Kurds have the good sense to kill every Isis fighter young or old. Extinction is the best remedy.

Great EVIL is the source of their power. And it will devour them.

Thanks, I had not read that.
