http://www.businessinsider.com/isis-military-defeat-iraq-syria-2017-11

Iraqi Prime Minister Hadir Al-Abadi declared military victory over the Islamic State in Iraq on Tuesday, just hours after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced that Iranian-backed forces had driven the terror group out of Syria.

ISIS's last Iraqi town of Rawa fell on Friday, and Abadi only awaits the clearing of a patch of desert along Iraq's border with Syria to declare final victory. Iran posted pictures of one its most famous military leaders in a Syrian border town, indicating Iranian-backed forces had driven the terror group out of the country.

Combine, the two statements from the two leaders amount to long-awaited news: ISIS's territory in Iraq and Syria is gone; the terror group has been defeated.

Iraqi, Kurdish, Syrian, Iranian, Afghani, Lebanese, and scores of other fighters gave their lives over more than three years since ISIS declared its caliphate, or sovereign territory, to be ruled under a brutal interpretation of Islam in the summer of 2014.


I can't speak for my fellow goons, but I think this is a good thing, because it was a brutal and nightmarish theocracy. Special props to the brave Comrades who answered the call and fought alongside the YPG.

I can only expect that here in the United States we will be celebrating this news, and dialing down our disproportionate hysteria over ISIS-lead terrorism now that they are militarily defeated, right?

"ISIS is defeated!" says Iraqi leader.

In other news, moderate syrian freedom fighters groups see huge increase in membership. Where did these new secular jihadis come from? Nobody knows. But let's give them weapons and training anyway.

Imho it's kinda hosed up that monoreligious states like the Vatican and Israel can exist for hundreds of years, but the second some devout muslims try to create an Islamic State, suddenly it's seen as a bad thing...

and people say there's no islamophobic bias in the media :thunk:
