#1 IIRC CNN > US SecState JOHN KERRY claims that the US-led Coalitiojn effort has forced the ISIS to seriously alter or change its tactics.

The above being said, OTOH by most accounts the ISIS/ISL has had little difficulty in recruiting new fighters to replace its losses.

#6 As TOPIX + WORLD NEWS Artics describe, the ISIS/ISIL is still around or exists only because the US-Allies or Great Powers are allowing it to exist, i.e. are NOT hitting the ISIS/ISL wid the full force of their MilPol or Geopol Power-n-Resources.
