ISIS is taking a beating in Afghanistan setting the stage for potential US troop withdrawal
By: Shawn Snow  
Sustained U.S. and Afghan operations combating the Afghanistan branch of the Islamic State has led to a near-collapse of the jihadist group in eastern Afghanistan — helping clear a hurdle for an American withdrawal from the country.
President Donald Trump touted success of recent operations against the Islamic extremist group during a Thanksgiving Day surprise visit to American troops at Bagram Airfield detailing that U.S. forces were “wiping†out ISIS militants “left and right.â€
“There’s almost nothing left in this area. And al-Qaida, the same thing. And tremendous progress,†Trump told U.S. troops during the visit. “And we — we’ve got them down to very low numbers. We’ll have that totally taken care of in a very short period of time.â€

Why is the US pummeling ISIS again? They are nothing but a JV team according to one "CIC."
