When Barack Obama first became president, there was no such thing as ISIS, but his weak kneed diplomacy say the terror organization’s numbers in Afghanistan soar in every year he was president. Three months into the Trump presidency, the policies of the president and Maddog Mattis, ISIS’s numbers have been reduced by an astounding 80%.
Since Trump took office, he and the United States military have lowered the number of Islamic State group fighters present in Afghanistan. On Thursday, keeping true to his campaign promise to take on and defeat the killers, Trump’s administration dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb on the terrorist forces.
According to Breitbart, the military’s more robust tactics — even before that massive bomb was dropped — had reduced the number of Islamic State group fighters ISIS fighter numbers be nearly 80 percent.
The Pentagon confirmed that the United States military dropped a Massive Ordnance Air Blast, colloquially known as the “mother of all bombs” on the Nangarhar province in Afghanistan.
While the MOAB has been tested before, this is the first time it was used in actual combat.
“We have incredible leaders in the military, we have an incredible military and we’re very proud of them, and this was another very, very successful mission,” Trump said after the success of the strike, according to Fox News.
According to TheBlaze, approval from the Trump administration was not needed for the strike, however Trump stated that he gave the military “total authorization” to do what it felt was best because it have been “so successful” in its recent strategies.
“Senior Air Force officials say the call to drop the MOAB was a ‘tactical decision by the commander in Afghanistan,’ and had no strategic input from anyone in the Trump administration.”
Barack Obama was notorious for overruling his military experts and surrounding himself with similarly week kneed generals. He also allowed valerie Jarrett to have major input on military decisions. You might remember that Barack didn’t approve the killing of Osama bin Laden until the fourth time it waqs proposed, ostensibly due to the opposition by Jarrett.
