Is ISIS Fraying?
« on: March 10, 2015, 02:45:12 PM »
Thanks to Grim's Hall blog for directing me to this article:

Islamic State appears to be fraying from within @ http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/the-islamic-state-is-fraying-from-within/2015/03/08/0003a2e0-c276-11e4-a188-8e4971d37a8d_story.html?hpid=z1

This should be no surprise. They're a bunch of cultist thugs hiding behind masks without the faintest care for those they conquer. Tribal leaders are turning on them and they not only face Iraqi and Iranian forces, but militias from local chieftains.

Cracks in ISIS are becoming more clear @ http://www.businessinsider.com/weaknesses-of-isis-2015-3

I hope every one of them die by the sword.

While that's acceptable, I kinda hope that some of them die by the methods used by Vlad Tepes . . .

I wouldn't count those chickens just yet.  ISIS has been going through some new challenges in the last few months, what with the airstrikes (Small as they are, there is a cumulative effect over months) and running into new territory and stronger enemies.  They could just as easily emerge stronger from the crucible as be consumed in it.
