It is the clearest indication yet of the approaching demise of ISIS in Iraq.

The House intelligence committee just accused the Pentagon of a cover-up, and this may turn into the first major scandal in the War on ISIS.

On Friday, President Obama opened a fourth front in the war against ISIS.
You probably didn't notice because neither the news media nor Congress cared. Bombing countries is simply what this administration does.

Iraq was already poor before ISIS invaded. Now it's beyond that.

You wouldn't know it if you weren't paying close attention, but we have entered the largest military escalation since Obama's failed Afghan 'surge' in 2009-2010.
There are three critical differences between that surge and this one:

What has three governments and is a failed state? That's right, Libya.
The latest Libyan government is based in a hotel in Tunisia because Libya was deemed too unsafe.
The other two existing parliaments in Tripoli and Tobruk have so far refused to recognize the U.N. creation in Tunis.

...

There was no better example of Hillary's clueless hawkishness than this moment in the recent debate.
