ISIS are creating a coalition to fight against them

by murdering the citizens of various rich and powerful nations.

When they're ready they'll carry out a big terror attack in a western country to provide a casus belli so that our leaders will reluctantly decide to send our troops to finally deal with the problem. (And coincidentally take away any remaining freedoms we might have).

Perhaps Jeb Bush will run on carrying out a do-over of his brother's war on terror.

The way they developed out of the "liberation" (dismemberment) of Iraq, the Libyan "humanitarian" intervention (dismemberment), and then the civil war (dismemberment) of Syria certainly seems to be following a murderous logic. Divide and conquer.

The animals of ISIL are in it for the dollars and the second they aren't fighting the great Satan the cash flow stops.

Too bad there wasn't some way to obliterate them without causing more damage to the people they're already destroying.
