It's really, really hard to talk about radical Islamic terrorism

Ironically, I feel that the latest spate of ISIS-inspired terrorism is due to the SUCCESS of Obama's strategy with regard to ISIS. In addition to the recent successes of the Iraqi Army and significant loss of ISIS-controlled territory, the Iraqi Army recently reported that Iraqis they had liberated after overtaking parts of Fallujah were literally STARVING. Remember, the caliphate was intended to replace governments across the Levant. They can't even FEED their people.

Unfortunately, I think ISIS will continue to tap into whatever network of cells they have abroad and have them commit increasingly more egregious acts of terrorism, until their network has been exhausted. Hopefully, a final Iraqi victory in Mosul will dishearten whatever assets they have left abroad.
