This is coolbert:
First from RT [Russian Times] and which has also been reported by other media:
"Trump gives Pentagon 30 days to develop strategy to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria"
“'It is the policy of the United States that ISIS be defeated,' . . . 'Within 30 days, a preliminary draft of the Plan to defeat ISIS shall be submitted to the President by the Secretary of Defense.'”
NOTHING LESS THAN TOTAL DEFEAT OF THE ISLAMIC STATE [ISIL] ACCEPTABLE!
Also from the Israeli Ynet Internet web site a less than favorable appraisal of the campaign to defeat the combatants of the Islamic State. Eradication of ISIL the only option but going to be hard to do!
"Trump's plan to destroy ISIS may hit limits"
"As part of his campaign platform, Trump has promised to wipe out ISIS, both financially and militarily; however, military officials argue that victory may come at the expense of US lives, entrench US in ethnic conflict."
. . . .
"Still, US military leaders warn ISIS will likely morph into a more classic insurgency once it loses Raqqa and Mosul, meaning the fight could stretch on for years."
HEY, NO ONE EVER SAID THIS WAS GOING TO BE EASY!
