or iraq but looking at this as more or less a global campaign or super regional campaign with africa being mentioned, libya, west africa and of course the places in the middle east. he said secretary mattis, this is a new strategy that the pentagon, the u.s. military has come up with. they present today to president trump. he approved it and now they are going to implement this new strategy. the way i took that was they looked at the strategy that had been in place, made some changes and the president approved those changes. what i didn t hear and maybe we ll get more, is talking about the ideology and the narrative. the other risk about isis isn t just their semi military forces on the ground in iraq and syria. it s the way they can inspire foreign fighters to leave the fight, go back home to places in europe and the west, and conduct attacks. also to inspire self radicalized v individuals to do that.
100 people, he could have done it with a cruise missile, that bomb sent a big message. maria: the mother of all bombs. the biggest bomb that we ve used since world war ii. maria: and look at this, they killed norris is fighter isis fighters when we come back, president trump is winning praise from the dc establishment, has anything changed? more with our panel as we look ahead sunday morning futures. and how to work around your uc. that s how i thought it had to be. but then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control. when certain medications haven t worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis.
