#1 ....The Viet Cong were quite arguably losing at Tet in 1968. Didn't matter in the end because the press decided otherwise.

#2 Excellent point Mike. The state controlled BBC seldom has a good word to say about Pres. Trump. This article is not exception.

#3 If we define victory by NEVER having random attacks, we'll never leave.There's too much Islamic hate (especially on each otehr), weapons, and willing splodeydopes. F them

#4 ISIS holds no ground.

They are defeated as a force. This is why they now use terrorism.

The SCBBC spin is dismal as usual. But this is why the MSM are called the lugenpresse.

#5 Two points:
1) In the Algerian war of independence, whenever the FLN suffered a major defeat, it would immediately blow something up - preferably civilians. This is an old tactic that has been around the Moslem world since the 1950's.

2) One reason the Werewolves didn't go anywhere was because the Allies used former slave laborers to hunt them down. In the rural areas these workers frequently knew the area better than the werewolves themselves.

#6 Frozen Al, but did those former slave laborers read their rights to the Werewolves they tracked down? Was their a Supreme Court appeals process in place?

C'mon lets be "modern" here. /sarc
