| Vice-President Pence says IS defeated despite Syria attack (opens to video) |

| [BBC] Mike Pence has claimed that the Islamic State group has been defeated - on the same day of an apparent suicide bombing in Syria that killed American soldiers. The US vice-president didn't mention the attack in Manbij during his speech. Nazi Werewolves - Some Post- WWII perspective. Excerpt: Tactics were varied, and typically terrorist. Stories of assassinations, sniping attacks and sabotage rocked american troops and German civilians. In reality, there were four major attacks by Werwolf troops in the Western zones of occupation. The new anti-Nazi Lord Mayor of aachen was assassinated...several weeks before the Nazi surrender, on Himmler’s direct orders. Field Marshal Montgomery’s liaison officer and the Soviet commandant of Berlin were both killed in ambushes; the first was hushed up and the latter was only discovered to be an attack because the Soviet counterclaims were marred by glaring inconsistencies. A bombing of a police station claimed 44 victims. In the east, Nazi insurgents carried out a few massacres of civilians and sniped at occupying forces, provoking brutal and indiscriminate reprisals from the Russians that quickly quelled future attacks. True tactics were varied, and typically…petty. The truth was that Werwolf attacks were largely ineffectual. Typical operations included pouring sand into the gas tanks of allied vehicles, poisoning food and water, petty vandalism and stringing decapitation wires across the roads. The latter was terrifying, but not incredibly effective. While individual operations were reported as late as 1947, by several months after the Nazi surrender on May 7 1945, Werwolf was rendered largely impotent. The possibility of a successful Nazi insurgency haunted the allied Occupation force, encouraging them to commit heavy economic and military support to the reconstruction of Germany. Emphasis added |

| #6 Frozen Al, but did those former slave laborers read their rights to the Werewolves they tracked down? Was their a Supreme Court appeals process in place? C'mon lets be "modern" here. /sarc |

| #5 Two points: 1) In the Algerian war of independence, whenever the FLN suffered a major defeat, it would immediately blow something up - preferably civilians. This is an old tactic that has been around the Moslem world since the 1950's. 2) One reason the Werewolves didn't go anywhere was because the Allies used former slave laborers to hunt them down. In the rural areas these workers frequently knew the area better than the werewolves themselves. |

| #4 ISIS holds no ground. They are defeated as a force. This is why they now use terrorism. The SCBBC spin is dismal as usual. But this is why the MSM are called the lugenpresse. |

| #3 If we define victory by NEVER having random attacks, we'll never leave.There's too much Islamic hate (especially on each otehr), weapons, and willing splodeydopes. F them |

| #2 Excellent point Mike. The state controlled BBC seldom has a good word to say about Pres. Trump. This article is not exception. |

| #1 ....The Viet Cong were quite arguably losing at Tet in 1968. Didn't matter in the end because the press decided otherwise. Mike |
