As Fox News reported, the terrorist group has lost 98 percent of the land it once held -- with half of ISIS' so-called “caliphate” having been recaptured since President Trump took office.
The gains that led to Votel's rosy assessment came after changes in the rules of engagement, instituted over the last year.

“The rules of engagement under the Obama administration were onerous. I mean what are we doing having individual target determination being conducted in the White House, which in some cases adds weeks and weeks,” retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula, the former head of U.S. Air Force intelligence, told Fox News. “The limitations that were put on actually resulted in greater civilian casualties.” http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/01/29/military-defeat-isis-can-be-measured-in-weeks-top-us-general-says.html
