WASHINGTON ― While President Donald Trump claims he has “eradicated,” “wiped out” and even “absolutely obliterated” ISIS, there is one group that has ignored the president’s words: the terrorists themselves.
According to recent estimates by the United Nations and the U.S. Defense Department’s inspector general, the self-described Islamic State has between 20,000 and 31,100 fighters ― figures nearly identical to CIA estimates of the terror group’s strength in 2014 when it was near its zenith.
What’s more, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ― or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, as it is also known ― actually regrouped somewhat earlier this year. Foreign affairs experts suggest it will concentrate on overseas attacks now that it has lost most of the territory it used to control in Iraq and Syria.

You know that will be fake news.
Nearly as bad is the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan....Their position of increased strength of late does not bode well for the possible peace negotiations potentially on the horizon...
But then again we have perhaps the greatest negotiator in the history of mankind occupying the White House so all is well....Surely little Donnie will offer them some of his bargain beachfront property in south Florida. He'll take their opium money (laundered nicely through one of his LLC's), they'll get a few 1000 feet of oceanfront, and the war will be over by Christmas... 😛

He'll need to salute their generals and lavish praise upon them as well. Trump will give up something, and then can then call it a success. His followers will believe it and call for his receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and the TalIban can go back to what they were doing before.
Maybe he can get ISIS to pay for the wall since (at least so far) Mexico hasn't coughed up the cash yet...

Oh yeah , I forgot that part....

So your hero Trump lied?
No my President doesn't lie about something like that. He relies on intel, and some of those giving him that do not have as good intel as others. I have been very occupied with personal problems, not doing my usual job of reporting. Hopefully, things will get better soon. THE Afghans of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Mullah Omar's Afghans want to sit down in their political office with at least one member of our Congress. They did meet with another representative of the US on July 23rd, but that is just the beginning. They want peace, they want us to stop shooting at them, they are NOT aligned with ISIS, etc.
