In a sobering new report, the Pentagons independent watchdog concludes that the remnants of the Islamic State militant group have been capitalizing on President Trumps drawdown in Syria, the Washington Post reports.
From the report: Despite losing its territorial caliphate, the Islamic State solidified its insurgent capabilities in Iraq and was resurging in Syria. The reduction of U.S. forces has decreased the support available for Syrian partner forces at a time when their forces need more training and equipping to respond to the ISIS resurgence.
Trump, just three weeks ago: We did a great job. We have 100 percent of the caliphate, and were rapidly pulling out of Syria. Well be out of there pretty soon.
