In an interview with CBS yesterday, Sec. Mattis discussed the new tactics being used against ISIS, noting that the military is no longer trying to move fighters out of locations, but instead surround and kill them — calling it ‘annihilation tactics.’
“Our strategy right now is to accelerate the campaign against ISIS. It is a threat to all civilized nations. And the bottom line is we are going to move in an accelerated and reinforced manner, throw them on their back foot,” said Mattis.
He added, “our intention is that the foreign fighters do not survive the fight to return home to North Africa, to Europe, to America, to Asia, to Africa. We’re not going to allow them to do so. We’re going to stop them there and take apart the caliphate.”
When asked about what keeps him up at night, Mad Dog, in his typical sharp witted fashion, said this.
Here’s the full interview.
I call bullshit on Mattis. Color me skeptical. ISIS is a Mossad/CIA creature and there is no tangible evidence that Mossad/CIA (+Saudi) stopped supporting ISIS.
Seig heil, my fav racist, nutjob bro

Nah doubtful. We were limp wristed because of ole Barrack. Time to wipe them out and let our allies do the heavy lifting.
Mattis is cut from the same cloth as Patton. No bullshit there.
He is a warrior first and political player second.
Didn’t realize dropping tons and tons of bombs on Raqqa and other ISIS-held towns was directed at attrition. But there are more crazy 20-year-olds than bombs so doubt this strategy will help much.. but certainly it will give old-man Trump a stiffy. And that’s Mattis’s job.
Just wait to see what happens when someone blows themselves up here. Trump will start chopping freedoms so quickly you’ll wish you were a Mexican. Scary times are coming.
What evidence is there that we’ve shifted from supporting ISIL? Our goal seems to be to keep supporting the goals of the gulf princes and the Israeli expansionists by keeping Iran down and by supporting anyone opposing them and their allies. The well-being and safety of the average American is not the prime mover in any of our interventions in the mid-east – – quite the opposite. Is Trump on board with these treasonous goals? His hideous, neocon-authored, speech in Saudi should have answered this question for anyone paying attention.
Ferd.. didn’t realize you were bat-shit crazy like Sac… sorry. Now maybe you can explain to me how we are supporting ISIS when we seem to be hurling bombs non-stop at their demented heads? And you are suggesting that Iran should be our best buds? Sure.. they certainly have demonstrated their love for the US by helping the North Koreans develop their nuclear bottle rockets. . Ahh.. they are misunderstood too. Right?
RE ISIS
It’s complicated, a lot of do with displacing regimes and fomenting strife to keep the military industrial complex going. Don’t worry about it Trader. Just keep focusing on that Russian conspiracy theory. I am sure it will pan out well for you.
While I criticize Sac for doing what most everyone on the internet does – over-generalizing and unjustly casting aspersions on entire groups of people; he is the second most informed poster on these boards and he is certainly more informed that you are.
Also, save your “Iran best buds” strawman shit for your kindergarten group. Perhaps there is something in-between “best buds” and our present idiocy of driving them into an alliance with Russia and China …something that would better serve US interests?
Also, don’t you know that it is our “allies” from Pakistan that have helped N Korea and that you’re buying into exaggerated bs about Iran?
No worries.. I can multi-task. So funny to hear young cuckpots talk about the military industrial complex. You have no clue.
We could argue Obama let them foment quite nicely.
The only thing this annihilation approach is doing is causing a skyrocket in civilian casualties.
Oh, and the anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant crimes are much higher since Trump was elected, don’t even try to prove otherwise just do some basic homework. The only reason they increase during Obamas term was moronic racists who believed Trump’s birther BS and thought we had a Muslim president.
The Trump haters look desperate. I truly hope you get paid for your retarded opinions. It’s why you lost. Your denial is quite entertaining.
