ISIS is “holding” an area the size of Indiana with less than 20,000 fighters. I understand skepticism, but I also believe ISIS is not invincible. It is way over extended, and it’s no doubt alienated the Sunnis it had liberated a few weeks ago. So I believe we can all rightly believe that ISIS will be beaten back, defeated, and exterminated.

I listen to all of screaming about ISIS and it came on so fast, and it is being spread by so many that I wonder either what these folks know to be true. I also listen carefully to see what their “angle” is.

A good example was the General who was saying things are going to be bad—and read my book.

Or the ton of Congressmen who are saying ISIS “ could have inserted sleeper cells” across the border. And these guys have been talking about the border for months. No one says anything specific, just that stuff “could” happen.

Finally, ISIS has their hands full in Iraq with limited attacks. Does anyone think that they want the full force of the US military raining down on them? These guys are evil, but their leaders are not stupid.

This smells more like late summer distractions than it does anything else. But what else is going on that would warrant attention?

"I believe we can all rightly believe that ISIS will be beaten back, defeated, and exterminated."

That presumes 0bama has a goal of exterminating ISIS. I submit that 0bama will never do what is entirely necessary and possible to exterminate ISIS. He and ISIS share many of the same goals, and 0bama will continue to bomb them only when absolutely necessary, but never adequately.

Now, in the next week or two we should begin to get
information on what the IS occupation was really like.
It will be even more horrifying than anything we’ve
seen yet.
