“President Barack Obama says that ‘since this summer, ISIL has not had a single successful major offensive operation on the ground in either Syria or Iraq.’”
Right. They’ve been too busy in Paris and San Bernardino.

“Obama: ‘ISIL Has Not Had A Single Successful Major Offensive Operation’ Since Summer [VIDEO],” by Steve Guest, Daily Caller, December 14, 2015
President Barack Obama says that “since this summer, ISIL has not had a single successful major offensive operation on the ground in either Syria or Iraq.”
Speaking at the Pentagon for the first time since July 2015 on Monday, Obama explained, “In recent weeks, we have unleashed a new wave of strikes on their lifeline, their oil infrastructure infrastructure, destroying hundreds of their tanker trucks, wells, and refineries.”
Barack Obama: In fact, since this summer, ISIL has not had a single successful major offensive operation on the ground in either Syria or Iraq. In recent weeks, we have unleashed a new wave of strikes on their lifeline, their oil infrastructure infrastructure, destroying hundreds of their tanker trucks, wells, and refineries. And we’re going to keep on hammering those. ISIL also continues to lose territory in Iraq. ISIL had already lost across Kirkuk Province and in Tikrit, more recently they lost at Sinjar, losing a strategic highway. ISIL lost at Baiji with its oil refinery. We saw during the daring raid supported by our special forces which rescued dozens of prisoners from ISIL which Master Sergeant Joshua Wheeler made the ultimate sacrifice, so far ISIL has lost about 40 percent of the populated areas it once controlled in Iraq and it will lose more. Iraqi forces are now fighting their way deeper into Ramadi, they’re working to encircle Fallujah and cut off supply routes into Mosul. Again, these are urban areas where ISIL is entrenched.
