    ISIS was defeated until Trump betrayed the kurds - at least that was what Trump told the American people - he said 'Mission Accomplished'

    you either have to agree Trump lied or Trump recreated a new ISIS threat

    Trump is the guy that tried to invite the Taliban to America on the week of 9-11

    Remember the young girl who had a boyfriend at CAL at Berkeley who was captured by terrorists and ended up helping them rob a Bank in Sacramento, CA?

    It is silly to say Trump betrayed the Kurds. It was their own area. All Trump did for them was have the military work with them. Maybe the Kurds learned all they needed to learn. Trump actually pulled a small cadre of forces off the front line to prevent their bloodshed. And it worked very well.

    If the Taliban was so great they would let him go.

    It is, and it can work both ways: captive to captor, and captor to captive.

    ISIS didn't exist until Obama destroyed Libya. And with the weapons he and Hillary ran to them allowed them to conquer vast regions.

    LOLOL.. That's BS.

    The annex in eastern Libya was a communications operation to try and identify tribes who might support a return to the Idris constitution.

    ISIS was born in Camp Bucca prison in Iraq in 2004.

    Nobody has said the Taliban was "great". You invented that claim.

    That might be a problem. Instead of bashing my president, maybe you should be bashing your government for not trying harder to save your own countrymen. Why does it need to be us to drag you out of the crap? Can you pull of an operation with your own military?

    You asked if there were any Aussie attempts. I said I did not know. And yet, there you go claiming that YOU know there were none. How do you know that? And, while I have your attention, sure, in other Threads I have bagged Trump the person, however, nowhere in this Thread have I bagged him concerning the substance of the OP.

    Camp Bucca: The US prison that became the birthplace of Isis
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/camp-bucca-the-us-prison-that...

    Nov 04, 2014 · Nine members of the Islamic State’s top command did time at Bucca.

    According to former prison commanders, analysts and soldiers, Camp Bucca provided a unique setting for both prisoner radicalization and inmate collaboration — and was formative in the development today’s most potent jihadist force.

    So it is 2014, glad you finally came around to the fact ISIS was formed a couple years after Obama destroyed Libya and during his admin.

    Obama didn't destroy Libya. The US couldn't do anything to preserve the status quo in Libya unless we put a huge occupation force in Libya. The tribes hated Gaddafi for 40 years. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

    ISIS leader says US prisons in Iraq led to creation of terrorist organization. American prison camps in Iraq gave the Islamists the perfect opportunity to meet and plan their eventual rise to power. Ten years ago, Abu Ahmed was incarcerated at Camp Bucca, a US run prison in Iraq. In an exclusive interview a decade later to the Guardian,...

    The Taliban are a hard lining bunch of SOB’s.I don’t disagree that their eradication would be good Afghans.

    Has the Taliban ever been responsible for an attack in America other than in defense of their land?
