"You will conquer Rome and own the world," ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi told his followers in July 2014.
In the previous month, a few hundred ISIS fighters had seized Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, in a matter of hours. They drove thousands of Iraqi troops from the city, in the process getting their hands on a huge arsenal of US-supplied weaponry Iraqi forces had left behind. They went on to conquer a string of towns and cities, reaching the outskirts of Baghdad.At its height, Baghdadi's so-called caliphate reigned over a realm the size of Britain, with 10 million people under its sway.
CNN gets exclusive video on the front lines against ISIS 02:18Like the Yazidis, Christians who found themselves in the path of ISIS's onslaught knew that as non-Muslims their fate was bleak at best.Father Gabriel Touma was born in the northern Iraqi Christian town of Al-Qosh and lived there all his life. When I met him in early 2015, he recalled that, just months before, ISIS forces were just six kilometers, less than four miles, from the town.
Good thing they were only the JV team, huh?
Yes Muslims have a lot to make up for. Like supporting and funding ISIS.

Indeed scars left by ISIS will take decades to heal, the question however remains how did the ragtag force originate & to what purpose, it needs to be established by an international commission
But, but, Muh JV
Trump doesn’t win until he heals all the scars! Take that, Trumpkins!
Makes one wonder how they were able to flourish under the Obama regime for 8 years
Obama is crying his legacy is history
The modern-day middle east created after WWI is still reeling from the loss of the Ottoman empire, the terrible boundary's drew up by England and France, and America's 1990 invasion. Turkey needs to step up to the plate and lead the region once again.
Part of the Obama legacy until Trump took control.
Let me guess, those decades it takes to heal will be trumps fault, right
Thank god they were only the JV team.
Tell ben wedeman , he's still wandering around in the field , hoping for a story .
MAGA!!! KILL ISIS and all those who practice terrorism including here at home!!
O Crusaders Alliance* U r saying that Islamic State is over. Okay! Leave the supporters of khilafah accounts in Internet and don't close, spam and report them. How you delete accounts of people which you think that they are losers ?
'Now, four and a half years later, that realm has all but disappeared, after Kurdish forces said Saturday that they captured the eastern Syrian pocket of Baghouz, the last populated area under ISIS rule.' Time to withdraw the remaining 400 troops in Syria.
Who wants to heal - we need to remember their barbaric ways and continue to battle the ideology that is trying to destroy the west. No healing.
realDonaldTrump thinks this works out like a football game, polo or lacrosse for his sake. He thinks the game is over & everyone has gone home. With a bow on it. Fini.
Generations to heal not merely decades.
Trump wins again by defeating ISIS in 2 years while Obama couldn’t do it in 8! Really pathetic!
Not gonna lie. Watching the salty tears fall down your faces as you are forced to report multiple Trump victories in a single week is an absolute highlight of 2019! 😢😢😂😂😂
Obama built, Trump dismantled. Obama failed as a so called leader of this country and failed as the leader of his Muslim minions ISIS. Libbies must be proud. Lmao
maybe obama shouldnt have funded and armed syrian rebels. then ISIS wouldnt exist
