Leads from Behind, a/k/a Dim Won, b/k/a former President Barack Obama described ISIS as the junior varsity but declared it would be almost impossible to defeat them. Aside to Dim Won, you can’t succeed if you don’t even try. It seems that Forty Five didn’t take Forty Four’s advice, from Investor’s Business Daily [1]:
Terrorism: Nine months after President Trump promised to defeat ISIS “quickly and effectively,” U.S.-backed forces captured Raqqa, which until Tuesday had served as the ISIS capital. The battle now is over who deserves credit: Trump or President Obama.
Trump, not surprisingly, claims it for himself: “It had to do with the people I put in and it had to do with rules of engagement,” Trump said in a radio interview.
Before dismissing this as typical Trump self-aggrandizement, consider that for several years Obama insisted that a quick and decisive victory against ISIS was all but impossible.
I don’t yet know if Dim Won ever set foot in Harvard classroom, but if he learned anything, is sure was not military tactics. After all this is the same Dim Won, who feted the deserter Bergdahl as if he were some kind of hero.
