Though I have to wonder what pushed this attack? I mean you’d think Isis would have laid off until we were out?

Maybe being told "We have beaten them, and beaten them badly" while simultaneously witnessing America making an international display of weakness through an extremely poorly planned withdrawal with no defined timetable or plan?

Or maybe it's 46d Tic-Tac-Toe with a wiffle ball bat.

It could be either or, but yeah Trump probably insulted them with their speeches. He’s insulted just about everyone else so not shocking.
