execution decisions to be made in accordance with the guidance that he provided. we could have accomplished our objectives through the use of overwhelming power in three months, not three years. ed: are we just bringing the fight to them? i wonder, is there a challenge for the trump administration. you can be winning and knocking out the leaders of isis but as we saw with the obama administration in 2012, they kept saying al qaeda is on the run and all of that and then al qaeda kept coming back with terror attacks. you have to be careful with the rhetoric. that s right. without a doubt, this has been a staggering military victory in both iraq and syria this year. that is largely due to the leadership of the president freeing the u.s. military to be able to do what is necessary in order to defeat and vanquish isis in iraq and syria. there is no room for complacency. isis s franchising itself across the world. there is a major threat posed by isis and north africa, east africa, , a
