Nope. That’s not how it works. There are way more Islamic State fighters outside that camp than inside. They are just in standby mode far from there - and far from “totally defeated”
"Until the guns go silent on this battlefield behind me I'm afraid ISIS cannot be declared totally defeated."

I saw that segment live and he was talking about the IS IS caliphate. And contradicting Trump's tweet of a few minutes prior

I agree they are patient and can wait while Trump puts his foot in his mouth and brings the guys home then do a bomb somewhere and claim responsibility.

I wish CNN would bring Ben home...every time I see him I worry about him. It's not worth it to have him risking his life to get the news. And I have enough to worry about already...
