Even as it launches waves of terrorist attacks around the globe, the Islamic State is quietly preparing its followers for the eventual collapse of the caliphate it proclaimed with great fanfare two years ago.
In public messages and in recent actions in Syria, the group’s leaders are acknowledging the terrorist organization’s declining fortunes on the battlefield while bracing for the possibility that its remaining strongholds could fall.
At the same time, the group is vowing to press on with its recent campaign of violence, even if the terrorists themselves are driven underground. U.S. counterterrorism experts believe the mass-casualty attacks in Istanbul and Baghdad in the past month were largely a response to military reversals in Iraq and Syria.
Such terrorist acts are likely to continue and even intensify, at least initially, analysts say, as the group evolves from a quasi-state with territorial holdings to a shadowy and diffuse network with branches and cells on at least three continents.

Thanks to Russia.
...and the likelihood of a real enemy moving into the White House.
They can continue their Jihad in the hundreds of thousands let into western countries.
This does not mean they will go away...they just wont possess great areas of friggin desert.
And this would have not happened were it not for massive Russian and Syrian planes bombing the bejeesus out of their Toyota 4 X 4’s
They sent out the A team and are training the Jr. Varsity.

The editorial asserts that the “whole world . . . has changed” with the creation of a theocratic enclave that has “shown all of mankind what the true Islamic state is like.”
“If they want to achieve true victory — they will not, God willing — they will have to wait a long time: until an entire generation of Muslims that was witness to the establishment of the Islamic State and the return of the caliphate . . . is wiped out.”
No kidding.
No thanks to any American policy of the last 8 years.
Obama would like to grant them all amnesty and re-settle them in Tennessee.
Actually back to 1979 - Fall of the Shah of Iran
Thanks Jimmy Carter
wa post and ny slimes will play obama and hitlery up big for this. Wont work. I hope.
I dont think any independent is going to fall for that and the rest of us know who we are voting for.
They got themselves into a war with Russia and Turkey at the same time. Strategic planning is evidently not their strong suit.
2 Possibilities:
1. Russia taking them out
2. washingtonpost.pravda.com
Russia/Syria/Turkey combined to put the hurt on them.
Obama deeply saddened.
Lets get it right.
Russia stepped out to fight Obama’s jv teams and his hardcore line up which were funded by American taxpayers.
All orchestrated by the muslims in the White house, Hillary Clinton and her crew, Mb in homeland security, NSA etc etc.
What is needed is to call the Orkin man for extermination of the evil roaches that have infected American politics.
It started with the big con, selling America a shiny turd.
Thank God for Putin to set some of this right. I love the way he has already designated the BLM as terrorists, something the Agitator in Chief is aghast about.
Putin and Trump for 2016!
But he'll try to take credit for it, and his propaganda arm (the MSM) will give it to him.
The Barak/Hitlery/Lurch sponsored califite is in deep dodo. In Manbij they are surrounded and are shaving off their beards and trying to blend in with the population. Their enclave in Aleppo has had its last supply line cut. Another of their enclaves south of Damascus is out of supplies and is collapsing. They’re on the run in Iraq. And they’ve pissed off the Turks their main logistics support. But they still have an endless supply of snack bars, it’s all they talk about in their videos.
The saw the new polls :) If Trump wins they’re done.
They still have a few months to get Hillary elected but their BLM allies are hurting their cause.
You understated the dimension of the problem.
The global coalition of marxists and muslims are the guys who originally shined the turd. Worst part? Bush and Clinton BOTH promoted the magic blackman, the healer of the great divide, meaning the (frog, spelled frigger) prince.
It is this coalition , backed by the OIC’s “UN” which is pushing islam and setting quotas on the EU for Refugees as well as America.
Thusly, there is a war on Christian western European man and his descendants.
That means you and me, fellow infidel.
Every step of the way he is out to diminish and destroy our culture and identity... with American tax dollars... while empowering islam.
FUUN, FUBO
