Marie Harf: Strategy That Led to Defeat of ISIS Was Laid Out During Obama Administration
2017-12-30
[BREITBART] Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s "The Five," former Obama State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the "strategy" that led ISIS’s defeat was "laid out during the B.O. regime by military commanders."

She added, "President Trump has loosened the rules of engagement. He has allowed the military to use more bombs for example and so I think that has helped. But for me, the bigger question is what is the strategy going forward? There are tens of thousands of ISIS fighters who once they lose this territory in Syria and Iraq are going to go back to Europe
...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
they are going to go online they are going to radicalize people like we have seen try to commit terrorist attacks here in the U.S. So in terms of the fight against ISIS this is a good step, but the fight is going to continue in a different and almost more dangerous way."
Strategies are laid out all the time. Credit goes to the one who chooses among the options, then executes in a timely and effective manner.
The strategy that led to ISIS' defeat was laid out when Obama left office.
Yes, there may very well be more of a Soetoro "strategy" than we know. The long awaited Persian land-bridge to the Med is all but completed. Important to not let it be finished during a Soetoro administration. A notional ISIS 'defeat' effort was necessary. As you may recall, the 'air-bridge' from Tehran to Damascus (across a U.S. vacated Iraq) went on throughout the Soetoro years. The actual defeat of ISIS and messy geo-political mopping up was to be left for the follow-on administration.
