But no BIG terrorist attacks, or even any mention of them by the media. Maybe it was just an "Obama thing."
yep

As a matter of fact, except for murder of the reporter in Saudi Arabi, I haven't heard about anything going on in the Middle East in ages. I guess the media is too busy attacking Trump to worry about it anymore. If there was anything to worry about to begin with...who knows?

Since Bugsy doesn’t appear to be available (for once in his DNC-subsidized life) allow me to offer the brain-dead lefty answer (direct from HQ).
“Obama wiped out ISIS in much the same way he snuffed OBL...”.
You will note that Bugsy ALWAYS attributes ALL credit to Obama, that he ALWAYS uses the precise term “snuffed”, and NEVER varies in any way on message. Lordy, we are cursed with particularly retarded lefty filth in this forum.
Someone call BarentW, Alameda, HazeyDavey, etc. There are decent, comparatively normal left-of-center folks out there...but they have been driven away, IMO, by the contemporary lefty kooks.

Yup, by the time Obama left office,ISIS had more or less been routed.

Obama’s anti-ISIS strategy worked like a charm. They are almost completely snuffed out, and nearly no US casualties.
But it looks like Fox Noise has wingers thinking it was Trump’s strategy. Up is always down in Trumplandia.

If you can stop that mindless babbling for a moment, answer this question...
Which president collaborated with US military leaders to implement the strategy that defeated ISIS...Obama or Trump?
Good luck!

Is ISIS “defeated”, Bugsy? Is it eliminated as entity? And...if it is...was it Obama who “snuffed” it?

You're not reading the right news. Theres plenty of daesh activity, and more to come. It's just a different war now, after the US and Russian involvement. Now we have to rely on the Iraqi army to dig them up and eliminate them, needless to say we should see a strong daesh resurgence shortly.

What's left of ISIS:
After defeat in Iraq, ISIS fights on in last enclave in Syria
BAGHDAD — A year after it was routed from Iraq in a devastating war that left entire neighborhoods and towns in ruins, the Islamic State group is fighting to hang on to its last enclave in eastern Syria, engaging in deadly battles with U.S.-backed forces.
Cornered in the desert near the Iraqi border with nowhere to run, the militants are putting up a fierce fight, inflicting hundreds of casualties among their opponents and releasing a stream of beheading videos reminiscent of the extremist group's terrifying propaganda at the height of its power.
In Syria, the battle for the area of Hajin has dragged on for three months, highlighting the difficulty of eradicating an extremist group determined to survive. Across the border, in Iraq, there is rising concern that the group may stage a comeback. ISIS sleeper cells have recently launched deadly attacks against security forces and abducted and killed civilians, mostly in four northern and central provinces that were once part of the group’s self-declared caliphate.
"There is still major danger for Iraq and Syria especially in areas close to the border when it comes to Daesh," a senior Iraqi intelligence official said, using an Arabic acronym to refer to the extremists. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media about security matters.
He said ISIS lost most of the income it once made from oil and taxes imposed in areas it controlled. The group now relies on selling gold and other reserves that they had accumulated after declaring their caliphate in June 2014. He said the money is being used to buy weapons and finance attacks in Iraq and Syria.

Such a shameless, pathetic dodge.
The left media is too busy with what they consider a bigger world threat to peace, stability etc.... Trump.

Al Qaida and ISIS were funded by Saudi Arabia. With the new anti-jihadist Crown Prince, that oil loot is being used for other purposes, such as preventing the Shiite encirclement of Mecca through Yemen.
In order for the remaining Saudi jihadis to not overthrow him for looking like a wimp, Crown Prince had to act tough on that pacifist journalist from a corrupt family.

Khashoggi was a lackey of Turkey. His murder reflects the burgeoning Cold War between Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Obama supported ISIS
Navy Pilots said O stood down 75% of ISIS bombing missions

Your pathetic dodge is noted as well.
Not one winger seems honest enough to answer the question I posed.
