Have we seen the last of ISIS?
This tantalizing prospect should be blaring from headlines on every newspaper front page in America, yet it’s being given scant attention by most of the nation’s mainstream media. Is it any surprise that this is the case, even as 1,000 ISIS fighters recently surrendered to Kurdish fighters in Iraq, rather than committing suicide as they’d threatened to?
As one of his campaign promises, President Trump committed to “bombing the hell out of” and “devastating” ISIS, and in this regard, he’s delivered in spades. This is in contrast to former President Obama, who wanted to “negotiate” with these sick thugs and apocryphal torturers. In fact, when Obama was president, it was almost as if he wanted to see ISIS expand their territory as a way of inflicting pain on Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Of course, a big blind eye was turned on the horrific abuses of the terrorist organization — which included everything from systematic rape to the ethnic cleansing of Yazidi religious practitioners. ISIS terrorism has been the bane of international security and peace ever since the group first came to prominence in 2014.
But over the last 18 months, ISIS has slowly but surely conceded much of the territory it once held, including the strongholds of Mosul, Tal Afar and Rawa. With these defeats, one of the world’s worst terrorist groups is slowly being wiped off the global map. But can President Trump and our allies in the region finish the job?
Watch, as this is the subject Greg Gutfeld and the gang from Fox’s The Five discuss in this lively clip.
