Two weeks ago, Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, said short-term ISIS threats have clearly diminished, but the long-term threat remains real. In remarks to the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations, the general who oversees U.S. military operations in the Mideast pointed specifically to those displaced by years of war in Iraq and Syria.

"Today, across vast swaths of Syria and Iraq, the systemic indoctrination of [internally displaced persons] and refugee camp populations who are hostage to the receipt of ISIS ideology is an alarming development with potentially generational implications," McKenzie said, adding, "If we don't address this now, we're never really going to defeat ISIS."

Twelve days later, the New York Times reported that the Trump White House has fired Christopher Maier, the Pentagon policy official overseeing the military's Defeat ISIS Task Force, disbanded his office."
