    So why is the US still occupying parts of Syria now when ISIS is long gone?

      Good question:

      “They are trying to prevent any comeback by the Islamic State group, which swept through Iraq and Syria in 2014, taking control of large swaths of territory.”

      Per the AP

      They still have tens of thousands of former ISIS members stuck in jail waiting to get out and try it again.
