An American runs a greater risk of being killed by a lightning strike or drowning in their bathtub, than losing their life in a terrorist attack.
The Global War On Terror is simply the propaganda cover for the Pentagon's drive for world domination. As usual, the media go along with the slaughter.
The US military is waging war in dozens of countries around the world, largely unreported by our so-called free press. Recent US combat deaths in Niger revealed that Congressmen did not even know the our forces were at war in that nation.
Thousands of American troops have been fighting in Syria for years.
Has any war received less coverage in our history?

Americans may find it difficult to accept that US foeign policy has relied upon pious jihadists for decades. The piety of the Afghan mujahedin with US Stingers won the US its greatest victory against USSR and communism. Syria was the latest US jihadist exercise and nearly succeeded. The pious and fearless jihadists of Jabhat-al-Nusra supplied with advanced US antitank missiles nearly got rid of Assad. But America does not believe all this is true. Amrica believes in Superman and Batman.

So ISIS is just as strong as ever but because we've publicly declared victory as a result of Raqqa and Mosul, we're done caring about them? Argue all day about what, how, and where we defend ourselves against these people, but whether is a question that should be off the table for a competent Commander in Chief. But I suppose it's far more important to go to Helsinki and get instructions on what other defenses and institutions need to be destroyed.

“And extremists in Yemen, Somalia and Libya were targeted by American airstrikes.”
We are giving air support and weapons to Saudi Arabia in their war with Yemen and their war crimes. And now their blockade, which may lead to millions of dying of famine soon. Sadly silence on this by the media. The Saudi’s practice an extreme form of Islam called Wahhabism which they export and fund as the largest cause of terrorism in the world, such as al Qaeda. Yet we are friends with the Saudis and are not serious about reducing terrorism.
Libya was the richest country in Africa before we bombed and took out Qaddafi. Now it is a haven for terrorism and slave trading.

ISIS is finished. A failed attempt to bring back the caliph in the Middle East. Time to stop giving them any attention and let them whither away.
