now that fear mongering is no longer needed......'ISIS Wave of Might Is Turning Into Ripple'

[Chathamization]

4. I really don't know why people still trust the media narrative. I've been saying for months that

the "ISIL" (more of a ragtag collection of different Sunni militant groups) offensive hasn't shown the ability to conquer areas that aren't Sunni Arab or take large cities from the other sectarian groups. The most they've been able to capture were small border towns. The idea that they were about to conquer Irbil or Baghdad seemed silly, but it was enough to excite people who weren't paying much attention (read: almost everyone).

Oh yeah, and there are still Yazidis trapped on Mt. Sinjar. But now that we're bombing again I suppose they'e no longer needed. So not only are we not getting the "we have to do something right now!" message we got daily when they were stranded in August, we're barely even hearing about them.
