But it's what Obama did, Trump is continuing what Obama started. You cons take all the credit and blame all bad things on Democrats, just like the economy was fake news before Trump got installed by Putin.
He was for most of the year and rest of his strategy is exactly the same as Obama's. http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/05/31/trumps-secret-plan-to-defeat-isis-looks-a-lot-like-obamas/
Obama was arming Isis. Trump, his generals and our partners there were routing them. Douthat wrote that Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq – which he calls “the defining foreign policy calamity of Barack Obama’s second term” – were effectively routed by Trump without the need of a massive ground troop invasion and without getting into a war with Russia or Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. Douthat wrote that it is a “press failure” for succumbing to “the narrative of Trumpian disaster” and ignoring the story.
Absolute BS, Obama was arming anybody who would fight ISIS which is how ISIS has been losing territory since last year. Who gives a shit what Douchehat says, he is a token Conservative arguing Conservative lies.
so who then would give a shit what you say. you are a paid dnc troll who does not realize obama an clinton armed Isis when they were arming moderates in Syria. even newsweek has to admit some of the the moderates the us armed were ISIS and that 90 percent of ISIS weapons came because the US broke international law to ship arms into syria. and by the way this article from newsweek is far more charitable to Obama and Clinton than others I have read. Obama Clinton and the CIA armed ISIS... and pretty much created them with their misdeeds. ISIS emerged out of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and other jihadi groups in the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and overthrow of its leader, President Saddam Hussein. After announcing its establishment in 2013, ISIS spread into Syria to take advantage of the ongoing war between the Syrian military and the rebel and jihadi groups trying to overthrow it since 2011. In Syria’s conflict, the U.S. had been supplying arms to insurgents opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since at least 2012 and, when ISIS began rapidly seizing territory in 2013 and 2014, many U.S.-armed rebel groups were either defeated by the incoming militants or joined them. ISIS reportedly received most of its initial supplies by overtaking Russia-backed Syrian and U.S.-backed Iraqi military positions, but later vastly received a massive boost from the U.S.’s effort to overthrow Assad. As ISIS began to take nearly half the country, the U.S. continued to train and equip Syrian rebels, using local allies like Jordan and Turkey as intermediaries. In its report, Conflict Armaments Group included dozens of photographs of EU-manufactured weapons believed to have been procured by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, shipped to Syrian rebels and later obtained by ISIS, which moved them between Iraq and Syria. These included a powerful anti-tank missile launcher bought from a Bulgarian manufacturer by the U.S. Army and wielded by ISIS only weeks later. http://www.newsweek.com/how-isis-got-weapons-us-used-them-take-iraq-syria-748468
