No One Is Interested in Really Fighting ISIS

[Weatherman2020]

A. ISIS has it's own color newspaper.
B. They have electricity.
C. They have vehicles, roads and bridges.
D. They have gasoline to transport the newspaper.


In a real war all of these would have been obliterated on Day One.

The latest issue of the Islamic State’s weekly newspaper al-Naba released two days ago warned that another terrorist attack in Britain was “definitely coming.”

Al-Naba, a 16-page color newsletter, is distributed within ISIS territory but is also posted and distributed online via the usual ISIS mediums such as Telegram and social media.

Just color me disappointed in Mattis.

Is ISIS even the enemy?

ISIS if fighting Assad but, according to the State Dept, he's been our enemy since Clinton and Kerry were running things.

I'll bet if you took a poll over there no one could tell you who we're fighting.

It has always been clear that no major powers were very interested in really ending the military capacity of Daesh, and in fact reason exists to believe it has been felt to serve certain purposes of those powers.

Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel, Russia, France, England, etc., also had eight years, and more.

It isn't just the U.S.

In 24 hours of being sworn in Mattis should have had a list of all infrastructure in ISIS controlled areas. The next day everything on that list should have been smoldering ruins.

So, there's not really an Iraqi army fighting its way into Mosul?

There's not really a Kurd force knocking on the door of Raqqa in Syria?

I guess that must all be fake news.

Of course, those Kurds are being bombed by Turkey. And Trump is fine with bombing the foes of ISIS. Erdogan is still one of his best pals.

My understanding is the radicals are being killed in record numbers under Mattis.
