The Anti-Terror Obama Legacy In A Nutshell

President Obama's assessment on Tuesday regarding the campaign against terror was told in a rather optimistic light. However, many have expressed their utter disagreement regarding the anti-terror campaign President Obama had during his reign.

During the assessment, President Obama extended his thanks to the U.S. military for their contributions to weaken the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The latter caused citizens to express the doubts they have about the foreign policy President Obama had in the first place as reported by USA Today. Some believe that it was a rather contradicting matter since the policy affected the U.S. by bringing in refugees and might have actually promoted terror instead of smiting it. Thus further questioning the Obama Legacy.

Moreover, the recent assessment also triggered analysts to re-assess President Obama's anti-terror campaign. According to National Review, President Obama may have re-won the Iraq war and weakened ISIS significantly if and only if the Mosul offensive succeeds. In addition, thanks to the Obama legacy, President Donald Trump will come into power with a weakened ISIS which is a plus for President Obama. However, Iran will grow to be a stronger adversary in the Afghanistan war that seems far from ending at present.

To dig deeper, in the past eight years, it is true that President Obama managed to kill off Osama bin Laden during his time as president, however, shortly after that ISIS became a massive threat to global security. Eventually, attacks started taking place in Paris, For Hood, Brussels, Boson, Orlando and more cities suffer further. It is true that President Obama was able to slow down the progress of Iran's Nuclear Program which is definitely a big threat given that the wars involving these countries are getting worse every day.

Despite being slowed down, it also comes with a catch, which might be even worse for everyone in the long run which definitely scars the Obama Legacy. Slowing down Iran's Nuclear Program means it will become more powerful once completed, and President Donald Trump will have to deal with that in the future as reported by Town Hall. 

Many believe that President Obama's legacy is mixed, there were things done right and some have gone horribly wrong. Some of the worse mistakes might even affect everyone in the long run. Stay tuned to News Everyday for more news and updates.
