We are doing our best to snuff out little pockets of once and future Jihadis.
Perhaps they feel emboldened by the weakness of the retard in the WH.
You sound like the media.. AKA the DNC.
"DT said there was 700 K at his inauguration. We studied the pictures and there was only 550 K. Therefore, Trump's a liar "

December 2019: Trump had announced, contrary to his administration’s stated policy, that he would withdraw all American troops from Syria, where they were fighting the Islamic State. This sudden (and ultimately reversed) policy shift posed a dire challenge to Sec of Def/ Gen Mattis’s beliefs, one being the support of the Kurds. He had spent much of his career as a fighter in the Middle East. He had battled Islamist extremists and understood the danger they represented. He believed that a retreat from Syria would threaten the security of American troops elsewhere in the region, and would especially threaten America’s allies in the anti-ISIS coalition. These allies would, in Mattis’s view, feel justifiably betrayed by Trump’s decision.
Trump: I know more than our Generals i.e., in reference to NATO, Trump stated “I think I know more about it than he does.” (Mattis, as a Marine general, once served as the supreme allied commander in charge of NATO transformation.) REALLY!!
