Bush had no plan for getting Bin Laden. He had no idea where he was. He had seven years to find him and failed. Obama found out where he was and had him being dumped in the ocean in two years time.Mosul was not a single battle. A long military campaign on emptying the Sunni Triangle in in Irag, town by town led to the final battle for the city. By the time the actual battle for the city took place ISIS had been largely defeated in Iraq.Yes, it is common knowledge. Ever heard of a place called Mosul?ISIS was getting its ass kicked and defending their last holdouts when trump came into office. All trump did is hand victories to Assad and his Russian friends and screw over the Syrian people.
can you find any information to support your idiotic contention?----ISIS was growing like a rolling snowball
yes----the site of a single victory for the good guys ---after massive carnage and destruction by the bad guys in a LONG DRAWN OUT CONFLICT which attracts loyal mujahadin from round the world------to the side of the bad guys.
A personal anecdote-----remember DA TALIBAN----
I began hearing about the BRAVE MUJAHADS in Afghanistan
sometime in the 1980s. The US supported them. Pakistanis (I worked with lots of Pakistanis) were IMMENSELY proud of them--------sometime in the 90s---they turned into DA TALIBAN----they consisted of PAKISTANI CREAM OF THE CROP---youth. Pakistanis LOVED THEM----their mission was ISIS like---to transform Afghanistan into a MUSLIM UTOPIA. Now DA TALIBAN is no goodniks-----I have bad news---whilst the Pakistani government claims to disdain da Taliban------the Pakistani citizens STILL LOVE THEM
The defeat of ISIS was the result of policies put in place by President Obama and duplicated by the Russians in Syria. Those policies were the systematic air strikes killed masses of ISIS fighters and destroyed massive amounts of their weapons and supplies coupled with the policy of training, advising and equipping the Iraqi army in Iraq and the Russians doing the same in Syria for the Syrians.
a different and somewhat slanted perspective------reminds me of the assassination of the Islamic hero----SHAYKH OSAMA BIN LADEN (for which a Pakistani doctors still languishes in jail ----last time I heard) ----the plan for which was elaborated in excruciating detail UNDER THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION -----more news----ISIS AIN'T DEAD YET
