File under: Islamic State

#1 ISIS has lost half its leadership and our military has lost almost all of its leadership in the Stalinistic purge of our officer corps.

#6 Allen told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the Islamic State cannot be eliminated entirely, but must be countered and targeted to the point that ~~it does not pose a threat to the future of Iraq~~ the political elites will think that they can negotiate with it.

#7 Yes they replace the heads but each new head has less experience and is probably less intelligent to boot. Keep killing the heads.
