ISIS has lost 40% of the land they controlled two years ago, BUT . . . . .

ISIS has lost 40% of the land they controlled two years ago.  Most of that is sand,  but,  there are other measurements of its strength.  

1. Before ISIS,  Jihad brought about the deaths of 2,100 civilians per year,  world wide.  Since ISIS,  and for the last two years,  that number has grown to 28,000 per year,  according to a General's report aired on Fox,  this morning.  

2.  Its ability for violence has grown almost exponentially over the past two years, especially in Europe, where some 5,000 ISIS related refugees have traveled in that region.  

3.  In a Daily Beast,  we have this:    The American-led bombing campaign is doing little to stem the tide of foreign fighters joining the war in Iraq and Syria. Four thousand of these fighters have joined the conflict since the allied airstrikes began, U.S. intelligence officials tell The Daily Beast.

That’s nearly as many combatants as coalition forces claimed to have killed, raising fears that if ISIS can continue to withstand a sustained air campaign, it could keep its ranks restocked for years, if not decades, to come.


4.  Here in the States,  we have some 90 cases of jhadi plots being prosecuted in our courts throughout the 50 States with 460 causalities since  Obama took office.
