The defeat of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria rapidly accelerated during President Trump’s first year in office, beginning with the fall of East Mosul on Jan. 25, and continuing with a cascading series of defeats for the brutal terrorist group over the next 11 months.

The campaign liberated twice as many people and twice as much territory as in the previous 28 months under President Barack Obama, according to Defense Department figures.

On Jan. 20 — the day Trump was inaugurated — an estimated 35,000 ISIS fighters held approximately 17,500 square miles of territory in both Iraq and Syria.

Good for the military under better leadership.

I think Obama's instinct would be to warn terrorists, so they could survive.

I will have to admit, it did seem for a time ISIS was unstoppable. There is still a long ways to go as there are nuts still being radicalized by ISIS and right here in the U.S., but ISIS is being beat back and they are not ushering in the caliphate as they thought they would.     Their days our numbered
