After “the US military to sprinkles pixy dust and drop talcum powder,” Putin will drop cluster and thermobaric munitions... that will really confuse ISIS.

This is why we are losing. We need an actual Commander in Chief.

Well the 48 hours is up, and ISIS did not leave Manbij - they are going to fight to the death there. That goal is well on the way - the majority of their force there is already dead (around 2,000). Several hundred remain.

From Gulf Today (http://www.gulftoday.ae/portal/af7e56b6-0b60-42bd-a1bc-a84b0e66c82a.aspx#.V5Nxdy_P9lw.twitter ):

“Coalition spokesman Colonel Chris Garver said on Friday that Daesh was mounting an exceptionally tough fightback.

The battle has grown more intense as SDF units move deeper in the town, he said, “which is sort of different than what we saw in Ramadi and what we saw in Fallujah,” two Iraqi cities from which hardliners were ousted this year.

“It’s a fight like we haven’t seen before,” said Garver.”

Manbij was the center for the International jihadi recruits to ISIS. Called “Little London”, English and German had become common languages around town, and it was their headquarters for planning attacks against the West.

With little coverage in the Western press, the Kurdish-led SDF are killing loads of potential future terrorists of Western cities.

Its a good news story.
