DEIR AL-ZOR PROVINCE, Syria - Islamic State faced final territorial defeat on Saturday as the U.S.-backed Syrian force battling the jihadists said it was closing in on their last bastion near the Iraqi border, capping four years of efforts to roll back the group.

An array of enemies, both local and international, confronted IS after it declared a modern-day “caliphate” in 2014 across large swathes of territory it had seized in lightning offensives in Syria and neighboring Iraq. “We expect it to be over soon,” Mustafa Bali, a spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces told Reuters.

Washington has about 2,000 troops in Syria, mainly to support the SDF in fighting IS. Trump announced in December he would withdraw all of them, but the White House partially reversed itself last month, saying some 400 troops would stay.

where do they get all the new cars from

We defeated the Nazis on the battlefield over 70 years ago but their ideology of socialism is slowly infecting our government, threatening to destroy the US from within, because it’s nearly impossible to kill an idea.

Great, but they will be back just like last time. ISIS is just another version of Al Qaeda, many are, or have been, members of both. Until the root causes of radical Islam are addressed all we will get is a brief respite.

TOYOTA MADE A KILLING SELLING CARS TO ISIS. BIG MONEY!

As if the West did not transfer the Islamic state to Venezuela...

Toyota, biggest sponsor of Terrorism since the state of Iran.

*Territorial* defeat.

The Nazis were 'defeated' once too. Wars don't solve problems.

The Islamic State is dying ... but believers in its radical ideology live onShe was covered from head to toe in black. Identifying herself only as Um Bassam, the mother of Bassam, she told me she was 25 years old, the mother of four children, a widow, and from the city of Aleppo. Isis are NOTHING but a Bunch of Wimpy, Little Sissies. President Trump and Our GREAT American Military, (along with our allies), have COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DOMINATED Isis. Isis has COMPLETELY & TOTALLY SUBMITTED to President Trump, Our GREAT American Military and our allies. Yep you can't eradicated a bad idea. We also have Greenpeace and The New Green Deal. Ideology can be acted against by providing the better example, the leading example for healthy and more happy living! Also the more ethical and moral, not by providing excuses for cannibals!We too have the word of Almighty dear: The 10 Commandments! Religious Stupid is w/Atheism
