"SNIP....

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis told NBC News that the president’s decision to pull troops from Syria’s border in advance of a Turkish incursion could have dire consequences and lead to ISIS’s resurgence.

Said Mattis: “We may want a war over; we may even declare it over. You can pull your troops out as President Obama learned the hard way out of Iraq, but the ‘enemy gets the vote’, we say in the military. And in this case, if we don’t keep the pressure on, then ISIS will resurge. It’s absolutely a given that they will come back.”

That isn't too difficult to figure out. If we thought ISIS was bad before, look out!

failed attempts to Conquer certain Tribes or Klan's. Moscow Don has added another chapter to this failed attempt.

ISIS was created by our Iraqi Prison Failures,and they have one enemy and that is us. We created the new Hatred much like Turkey created their mortal enemy the Armenian Peoples.

Mattis was a Trump enabler. To think they changed a long standing policy for this asshole to head the DOD.
