      Stanley McChrystal, who spearheaded the Obama surge in Afghanistan (30,000 troops) and oversaw the deadliest period of the war, says the US can't pull out because it gives Taliban "leverage." So that's the opinion of the least-credible person on this issue. Should do the opposite

      Another insight from McChrystal today: ISIS has not been defeated, because ISIS is an "idea." That's the basis on which perpetual war is always waged -- against an "idea" that can never be eradicated (and which military force actually fuels). More reason to ignore McChrystal.

          The stated mission of USA was to drive the Islamic State (the Caliphate) out of Iraq and Syria. The mission is over. It's time to leave. ISIS is in more countries than Syria. Should USA invade & occupy EVERY one of them? And all the countries with other ideas we hate too?!

          The stated mission is always a lie. US policy in Syria was *always* to enable terrorists and Assad's military to degrade each other. Virtually no consideration was given to the civilian suffering this would necessarily lead to. Please #ThinkAboutThat.

          It is good to have a President telling the Generals what to do- Instead of the other way around.

          Obama also stated the only way to defeat a bad idea is with a better idea. The problem is that no one in the US government has yet to articulate that "better idea". If they did it would expose the entire lie known as 'the war on terror' for the atrocity it is.

          Well, ISIS is based on the fundamental islamic believe that the koran is the literal word of God. The best way to fight that is simply say it at the higest political level. Obama increased the problem by denying this, Trump started strong but seems to have toned it down a bit..
