Obama’s White House worked for months on a plan to seize Raqqa. Trump’s team took a brief look and decided not to pull the trigger.
One of Trump's main campaign themes was that, as president, he would quickly "bomb the shit out of," "crush," "destroy," and "totally obliterate" ISIS. As it happens, before Trump took office, his predecessors in the Obama administration had spent months preparing plans to attack and seize ISIS's capital—the Syrian city of Raqqa. All that Trump transition officials had to do to authorize the attack was approve the plan. But Trump's team refused to do so and has not yet launched its own offensive. ISIS still holds Raqqa.
Also, in a total coincidence, the plan that Trump's incoming administration rejected was vehemently opposed, for reasons of self-interest, by Turkey—aka the country that paid ex–National Security Adviser Michael Flynn $530,000 last year.
what a blowhard, quite strange to see the Tea Party Nation sucking up to this rat, or not
