Pompeo doesn’t sound to me like a dedicated messenger for Trump.
He is right they have reps in congress now
Read the article, he does not specify where they are stronger. He does say this:”“The caliphate is gone and their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more difficult,” Mr. Pompeo said.“The caliphate is gone and their capacity to conduct external attacks has been made much more difficult,” Mr. Pompeo said.” This contradicts his premise.
Shut up Mike.
Islam is the problem.
ISIS is a symptom.
I believe they are also regrouping in a few Philippine islands.
So the dudes with few ak’s are an issue then ; also a lot of swear words
Wars will never end. Just like Rome. Enjoy the ride down.
We have a choice between two bad options. Creeping fascism or outright communist tyranny. I just can’t see any restoration of a constutional republic dedicated to individual liberty anymore.
ISIS are the true believers of islam.
I dunno, I never, ever, ever thought that ISIS or the Taliban could or would ever be “defeated” in the sense that they would accept some degree of punishment, whether partial or total obliteration, then cease hostilities, then show up at a negotiating table, accept or agree to terms, and then live happily ever after or perhaps become an ally of the US. Never thought that for a minute.
These are stateless actors. While they’d like to establish ownership of a territory such as Afghanistan or Syria or equally as likely; France or Sweden, theirs is a political or spiritual or philosophical battle and in no way will they ever surrender or submit to a Western power. Their religion is their struggle. Their attention span is decades. While we’ve been in Afg for 17 stupid years, astounding, our attention span is months.
If we chase each and every Talib out of Afghanistan and/or kill them, others will take their place and regroup somewhere else.
Well, they invented the term, Hassassin. Time to turn it on them in a major way. “Kill them. Wherever you find them”, as the moslime text says.
ISIS/DAESH can’t be “eradicated,” as it is, part and parcel, fundamentally, how islam has conquered nations one after the other for 1400 years.
Outpopulating, terrorising, burning churches/neighborhoods, no less than the great islamic scholar Muqtada al-Sadr supports its day to day operations as normal and proper for muslims.
there is ALWAYS a thin veneer of “the religion of peace” given as the face of true islam, while taqiyya, muruna, tawriya and kitman are tools used to hide the reality from the incurious sheep being led to slaughter.
“Islamophobe” - one who knows far more about islam than muslims are comfortable having a kafir know.
