Trumpers are tired of winning while ... Isis in Iraq: Militants 'getting stronger again'

[Denizen]

Donald Trump has claimed defeat of ISIS whereas intelligence indicates ISIS is morphing into a stronger more distributed organization.

ISIS appears to be growing stronger in Iraq because the problem that caused the emergence of ISIS is still prevalent.

"They have better techniques, better tactics and a lot more money at their disposal," he said. "They are able to buy vehicles, weapons, food supplies and equipment. Technologically they're more savvy. It's more difficult to flush them out. So, they are like al-Qaeda on steroids."

Donald Trump has cut and run from Syria in the face of a Turk invasion. So now there is less cooperation and cohesion between the forces opposed to ISIS.

IS was uprooted after a long fight in Iraq, but it was never completely defeated
There are growing indications that the Islamic State (IS) group is re-organising in Iraq, two years after losing the last of its territory in the country.

Kurdish and Western intelligence officials have told the BBC that the IS presence in Iraq is a sophisticated insurgency, and IS attacks are increasing.

The militants are now more skilled and more dangerous than al-Qaeda, according to Lahur Talabany, a top Kurdish counter-terrorism official.

"They have better techniques, better tactics and a lot more money at their disposal," he said. "They are able to buy vehicles, weapons, food supplies and equipment. Technologically they're more savvy. It's more difficult to flush them out. So, they are like al-Qaeda on steroids." ...

Me? Not a one. I would simply tell them to behave, or I'd vaporize them.

But, that's just me.

Donald Trump has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as he heads toward the exit.

ISIS will thrive in the chaos evolving in Syria and Iraq where disparate groups individually fighting ISIS will lack synergy and will not even cooperate.

Methinks Rear Admiral Bonespurs declares victory too soon.

Syria is a failed state and the 'Free Syrian' bantustans fostered by the US are not economically or politically viable. There is not even common purpose between the disparate bantustans.

The next country vulnerable to an ISIS insurrection is Jordan which is also close to being economically bankrupt and susceptible to the rise of an insurgency. The presence of a huge mass of Syrian refugees in Jordan creates an environment that will allow ISIS to insinuate itself into the masses of people who cannot hope for anything other than being perpetual refugees.

Civilians are becoming angry about being targeted by all sides.

Civilians are targeted because they're easy to find; they don't shoot back, and when they're dead they can't deny being accused of being terrorists.
