ISIS has lost 98 percent of the territory it once held -- with half of that terror group's so-called "caliphate" having been recaptured since President Trump took office less than a year ago, U.S. military officials said Tuesday.

The massive gains come after years of "onerous" rules, when critics say the Obama administration “micromanaged” the war and shunned a more intensive air strategy that could have ended the conflict much sooner.

“The rules of engagement under the Obama administration were onerous. I mean what are we doing having individual target determination being conducted in the White House, which in some cases adds weeks and weeks,” said retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula, the former head of U.S. Air Force intelligence. “The limitations that were put on actually resulted in greater civilian casualties.”

But the senior director for counterterrorism in former President Barack Obama’s National Security Council pushed back on any criticism the former president didn’t do enough to defeat ISIS.

Trump: "Look, I dont know shit about winning a war, ya'll do. Do whatever the fuck you gotta do to kill these bastards. I got other shit to take care of."

Generals: "Yes sir, that's all we needed to hear."

I will say the OP's title is a bit deceptive, the article states that ISIS has lost 98% of its territory, MOSTLY since Trump took office. Kinda left out the "mostly" part in the OP, making it look like 98% was since Trump took office which is not true.

you have a point------it has not been demonstrated that ISIS LOST TERRITORY BECAUSE OF
TRUMP's MILITARY PROWESS------lets try to be precise.

President Trump untied the hands of our military. Now we, and our allies, have been able to destroy our enemies on the battlefield.

Something the Hussein tip toed around and did his best to let ISIS flourish.

I am not sure that Obama was MOTIVATED in favor of ISIS-----he was just too damned
TENTATIVE on the issue. Trump is DECISIVE (annoying but decisive)

Trump has proven he is not a smart man. Either this loss of territory was already happening or one of his advisors is distracting him with crayons and action figures while the adults talk.

Bullshit, the Hussein was the de facto President of ISIS. Their political goals were aligned: Overthrow the moderate Libyan government, overthrow the moderate Egyptian government, and overthrow the secular and moderate Syrian government. ISIS had no greater friend in the world than the Hussein. The Hussein was a warmonger and wanted war spread in the Middle East in order to create the "refugee crisis" and flood Europe and America with third world Muslims. It was all designed and executed by the Hussein.

Obama moved issis around to keep them contained. Trump told the general's to kill them. Got rid of the rules of engagement. Thank you, president Trump!

And he managed to do this without even fighting.

Funny how anything positive that happens under Trump's reign, is considered to be directly as a result of Trump. Anything bad that happens didn't actually happen too.
