A top terror expert says ISIS is now so weak that it could be decimated within hours.
According to a London Express report Monday evening, Russian airstrikes, unruly leadership and numerous defections have destabilized the terror organization to the point that it wouldn’t be capable of fighting off even a small attack.
Terror analyst Dr. Afzal Ashraf told the paper that ISIS has drastically exaggerated its military power, prompting an international counterattack. Ashraf urged Western leaders to act now to wipe out the jihadi group.
The U.S. has led a coalition of airstrikes against ISIS.

Horsecrap.
It’s not going to be over in hours. Although a sustained, massive and ruthless series of attacks will make the whole process a lot shorter than if Obama were in charge.
ISIS might have dispersed into Europe for R&R.
Obola is deeply saddened.
Well, waddaya know. We can actually bomb ISIS and have some results, now that Russia has entered the fray. Thanks, Vladimir, for goading our sleeping president into action.
Why is Obama arming Syrian rebels? Theey are the bad guys.
They may be weak now, but the world will not be rid of islamists until we agree on the problem. The Quran.
Obama is one of them?
Obama wants Assad out.
That’s why he created ISIS.
I sometimes wonder what the effect would be if that rock in Mecca were accidentally destroyed.
Napalm.
Another Freepers had it right.
A collapse could be quick if defeat becomes seen as inevitable.
Whoever gets out first could get away. Whoever stays to the end will die. It creates an incentive to beat the others to the exit.
Of course, we won't know the truth for a few days, but I can't believe those uncivilized pos know much about military tactics.
If that had been an Iranian plane, the silence of the Obama administration would have been deafening.
Maybe when Russian special forces hit the ground in Raqqa, they will find the evidence to expose this charlatan once and for all.
They have plenty of equipment. Half of what we gave to Iraq is now in their hands.
Accidentally? I am certain there is a report in Jerusalem/Tel Aviv on exactly what the effects of such an "accident" would be. I would like to see it too.
Remember earlier this year when the news organs showed photos of ISIS trucks and personnel parading in the open daylight into some Iraqi towns? Don't tell me a few drones couldn't have blown them to pieces.
It's the lack of willpower by King Barack that allowed them to invade and set up with little opposition.
I’m still hoping for The Road to Basra II.
Yep.
