According to officials familiar with the situation, US intelligence agencies have offered a new assessment of ISIS, cautioning that a solid year of US airstrikes against them in Iraq and Syria hasn’t left ISIS any weaker than they were when the strikes began.
Surprisingly, even though the military has been bragging about how great the war is going throughout the year, military commanders aren’t disputing the assessment, and are simply saying that they believe progress will come at some point in the future, when Iraq retakes Ramadi.
Of course, ISIS didn’t have Ramadi a year ago, and only captured it two months ago. At the time, Pentagon officials dismissed the major city as of no strategic importance, so it is surprising they are now presenting its future recapture as a metric for success.
Either way, the assessment is damning to Pentagon claims that the strategy is sound, but at the same time, there is no indication that anyone in the administration is even going to consider revising the war strategy, as officials continue to insist it is a winning recipe.
Most of us are by now pretty aware who funds and directs the Al-CIAda and ISISrael, if just for the fact that they never ever threatens the Zionazi regime in occupied Palestine and that Benjamin Mileikowsky/Yahoo doesn´t seem in the least bit "worried" and actually arms, nurture and treats them.
And so we learned that McCain knows all about ISISrael´s fake movies, probably shot in a studio down town Tel Aviv, and that say´s all we need to know…
You forgot to mention that all these videos are obtained somehow and then released to the world by the SITE group. This independent group's intelligence gathering capabilities are far greater than the intelligence agencies, so much so, that the intelligence agencies go to the SITE group for intelligence.
Did anybody read Alice in Wonderland?
US intelligence agencies say, " …solid year of US airstrikes against them in Iraq and Syria hasn’t left ISIS any weaker than they were when the strikes began."
The point being missed is that people who make bombers and companies that make bombs are much stronger–profitwise–then when the strikes began.
If your arming them, I doubt their getting any weaker.
