WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum as the first step in his plan to defeat the radical Islamic terrorist group ISIS.
ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) has made news over the last couple of years for its brutal and barbaric slayings of westerners, captured enemy soldiers and anyone they deem outside their belief system, such as homosexuals. The group has attempted to recruit and lure disillusioned youngsters from the United States, Europe, and other areas of the world to shore up its forces, even as it is being forced out of Iraq at this time.
President Trump made the defeat of the radical Islamic terrorism a cornerstone of his successful campaign and with today’s memorandum and directive to the Pentagon, he begins to outline the agenda:

NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM – 3
MEMORANDUM FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY
THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY

THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
THE ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
SUBJECT: Plan to Defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is not the only threat from radical Islamic terrorism that the United States faces, but it is among the most vicious and aggressive. It is also attempting to create its own state, which ISIS claims as a “caliphate.” But there can be no accommodation or negotiation with it. For those reasons I am directing my Administration to develop a comprehensive plan to defeat ISIS.
ISIS is responsible for the violent murder of American citizens in the Middle East, including the beheadings of James Foley, Steven Sotloff, and Peter Abdul-Rahman Kassig, as well as the death of Kayla Mueller. In addition, ISIS has inspired attacks in the United States, including the December 2015 attack in San Bernardino, California, and the June 2016 attack in Orlando, Florida. ISIS is complicit in a number of terrorist attacks on our allies in which Americans have been wounded or killed, such as the November 2015 attack in Paris, France, the March 2016 attack in Brussels, Belgium, the July 2016 attack in Nice, France, and the December 2016 attack in Berlin, Germany.
ISIS has engaged in a systematic campaign of persecution and extermination in those territories it enters or controls. If ISIS is left in power, the threat that it poses will only grow. We know it has attempted to develop chemical weapons capability. It continues to radicalize our own citizens, and its attacks against our allies and partners continue to mount. The United States must take decisive action to defeat ISIS.
Sec. 1. Policy. It is the policy of the United States that ISIS be defeated.
Sec. 2. Policy Coordination. Policy coordination, guidance, dispute resolution, and periodic in-progress reviews for the functions and programs described and assigned in this memorandum shall be provided through the interagency process established in National Security Presidential Memorandum – 2 of January 28, 2017 (Organization of the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council), or any successor.
(i) Development of a new plan to defeat ISIS (the Plan) shall commence immediately.
(ii) Within 30 days, a preliminary draft of the Plan to defeat ISIS shall be submitted to the President by the Secretary of Defense.
(iii) The Plan shall include:
(A) a comprehensive strategy and plans for the defeat of ISIS;
(B) recommended changes to any United States rules of engagement and other United States policy restrictions that exceed the requirements of international law regarding the use of force against ISIS;
(C) public diplomacy, information operations, and cyber strategies to isolate and delegitimize ISIS and its radical Islamist ideology;
(D) identification of new coalition partners in the fight against ISIS and policies to empower coalition partners to fight ISIS and its affiliates;
(E) mechanisms to cut off or seize ISIS’s financial support, including financial transfers, money laundering, oil revenue, human trafficking, sales of looted art and historical artifacts, and other revenue sources; and
(F) a detailed strategy to robustly fund the Plan.
(b) Participants. The Secretary of Defense shall develop the Plan in collaboration with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.
(c) Development of the Plan. Consistent with applicable law, the Participants identified in subsection (b) of this section shall compile all information in the possession of the Federal Government relevant to the defeat of ISIS and its affiliates. All executive departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly comply with any request of the Participants to provide information in their possession or control pertaining to ISIS. The Participants may seek further information relevant to the Plan from any appropriate source.
(d) The Secretary of Defense is hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register

With the help of the other white country we will eradicate the vermin and then jail 50% of the democrats political elected officals/hoodlums. God save America and as Palin said -don;t retreat -RELOAD.
The U.S. is approaching a 50/50 split in terms of its ‘white’ population and its minority populations. Maybe you should move to that other white nation whatever or wherever you believe it to be.
“Believe me…… I know more than the generals”. Now Trump is forming a committee to talk among themselves and submit ideas. President Pinocchio.
During the campaign Trump said he had a “secret” plan to defeat ISIS…More Lies!
Make Amarica grate again!
The Enola Gay would be a good start in exterminating isis.
What?
You propose the use of a B-29 bomber located in a museum?
Ya, that makes sense.
Allen some of your recent comments, if not meant to be funny or sarcastic are absolutely absurd. Are you really suggesting dropping a ThermoNuclear Bomb? Really??
Great idea Allen. That would certainly solve the problem.
That sounds kinda extreme, but a baby nuke just might have been better than what Obama did (and didn’t) do.
Obamalama gave them money and told them “good job” and promised his brothers that we wouldn’t hurt them.
The goddamn Democrats are so elfin stupid. They need to be completely eviscerated, so that a new party can be built as a replacement. I hate to acknowledge Steve Bannon, but he may be right in saying Republicans are going to enjoy 50 years of rule. As an Independent Democratic leaning Liberal with shared Conservative Values on certain topics (Islam being problematic, Abortion being loathsome, and the 2nd Amendment being trampled on), I cannot stand the Democratic leadership in place, and feel they all need to be voted out. And this includes Bernie Sanders. I will say there is one beacon of light on the horizon and that is #CalExit which is gaining traction. A secession movement for California to leave the Union and become its own nation. That is a radically exciting idea and I would join it in a heartbeat, upon the first realization that it becomes tenable.
50 years Lol, I give it less then 4
Let’s see, you claim to have Democratic leanings yet you are against stronger gun laws, you favor religious discrimination, you kinda like a guy who is a white nationalist and you find abortion “loathsome” which means you don’t think any abortion is acceptable. What part of Democratic principles do you agree with? Granted the 3 things you mentioned aren’t all the Democratic party stands for, but these are interspersed throughout the Democratic platform. Believing in the welfare of all Americans, concern over their health, well-being, housing, religious freedom, schools, civil rights and civil freedom are all bastions of the Democratic party. What exactly made you think you were part of that party? It certainly wasn’t your abundance of tolerance and compassion.
The Democrats are losing the larger war due to their insistence on losing the aforementioned battles. The American people are clear that they want Trump to protect the borders. My point is they didn’t go far enough, and they did this because Trump has business interests in the countries not put on the ban list…Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE etc. Pakistan wasn’t on the list either. For political reasons and to provide a rebuttal to opposition, Bannon and Trump used Obamas list, but that doesn’t mean the list is comprehensive. Indonesia, many countries need to be on the ban list. Executive order allows him to do this. People should just let a shutdown occur for a while, until we figure out what in the hell is going on. Liberals are so damn concerned with their liberality that they fail to acknowledge the real and credible threats certain regions pose. They seem to be okay with sacrificing many humans to violence to continue with the group hug. This part of Dems annoys me. How about one of their family members is shot in the head by an immigrant who turns into a terrorist like the Bataclan in France, and see how they like it.
He has no plan. Hes asking others to develop one for him.
Read e article and if you still do not understand it get some 6th grader to tell you what it says.
Dumbass
You read again you freakin” idiot, Trump does NOT have a plan,
he is asking for one.
My God some of you Trump supporters are so freakin’ ignorant & stupid that it is beyond belief..
I guess you really re not smart enough to understand what a action plan looks like. That doesn’t surprise me at ll knowing you are a liberal and that would make you stupid. Trump has said all along he would do what the Generals said (a lot different than Obama) he also said he would not tell what that plan is. Pay attention and you just might learn something.

You lost Snowflake. You should be getting used to it by now.
Notice statement F.
With Obamalama out of office, there will be significant cutbacks in the funding of ISIS.
Please elaborate on your post. Any facts to back up your post? Links for your statement?
Trumps plan is spot on I love it. Take the battle to these muslims who hate us. I hope the military leaders add the final touch to this and can get the job.done.once and for all.
You must be joking. A seventh grade social studies student could have written a more comprehensive plan than this. This is nothing but to score political points with those that that let emotions overrun logic.
Actually I think he says someone else needs to make the plans and submit them to him in 30 days.
That is because the title of this piece is a prime example of the “excellence in journalistic reporting” by the outstanding “staff” at NIT.
And here you are, reading and commenting. Remember..it’s takes no talent whatsoever to sit on the curb and ridicule the people actually in the parade.
^ Very weak.
So you think that the title to this piece correct?
It states “President Trump releases plan…”
Yet the article states “For those reasons I am directing my Administration to develop a comprehensive plan…”
So which is it?
He has a plan or is developing a plan?
You’re planning right now…and right now, that’s your plan.
He has a plan to develop a plan that will help him plan his plan.
That comment from a Liberal Zombie!
You gotta admit, the Trump orangeflakes are an amusing but definitely an ignorant lot.
Trump could tell them the sun rises in the west & they would believe it.
I would rather be a orangeflake than a snowflake any day.
^ Trump followers (Orangeflakes) defined:
1. Lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned
2. Easily deceived.
3. Believes in one or many people or things in the absence of reasonable proof or knowledge.
4. Persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary.
That sounds like my neighbor on the North End. ELveeSss
