Let’s see. ISIS is said to have as many as 5,000 fighters. And the MSM wants us to be quaking in our boots, fearful that they will be taking over the world. Not falling for jt.

Interesting point. I am also noticing that ISIS being on the march and taking over Iraq and Syria with 5,000 fighters seems odd. That’s the amount of people watching batting practice before a Mets game. That’s th number of people in my office building at 9:00am. They would have a tough time taking Dallas, never mind cities in Iraq and Syria, and holding them no less.

In 100 hours, we decimated at the time the 5th largest army in the world. Drove them hundreds of miles back to Baghdad and destroyed thousands of artillery pieces.

I am thinking a captain right out of military college can plan and execute the destruction of ISIS and be back home in time for a JD and Coke.

I checked their manpower a few weeks back and it was believed to be around 7,000 or so. Now, purported to be 10-20,000 but still, that is division-level strength at best. Granted, many are jumping on the ISIS bandwagon, but probably as a survival tactic and it doesn’t mean they bring anything to the table but a pulse and an appetite to rob/rape/pillage.
