Thats assuming they don't WANT Isis around.
One of the most powerful and advanced military on the planet and they cant track down what is the equivalent in comparison of a tribe with sticks and rocks?
Yes, they are "off the grid" so to speak..... but not really when you see how they use internet to post their videos and share communications. This whole "We cant track them down" is a bit suspicious.
I dont doubt the military wants to find them....... but the "powers that be" I think enjoy there being a "bogey man", someone or a group of someones to A) Blame things on B) Use that blame to take away rights of the citizens under the illusion of "safety".
Trump and Hilary it really doesnt matter. Either way we get the wrong person for the job.
we haven't stopped them yet because it is to our president and his cronies' political disadvantage to do so. Every time ISIS succeeds, Obama blames us for it. Look at the Florida shooting. Who did he blame? Radical Islam? Nope, homophobia Christians.
He won't even use the phrase Islamic terrorism, he continues to spin the narrative that ISIS is not Islamic, and calls them ISIL instead of ISIS because he doesn't was to admit they have spread so far as Syria, which is what the S at the end stands for.
He drives a narrative that they are not fighting a holy war in the name of their god, but rather fighting a just battle against "Western Imperialism"-- ie, their culture is just as good as our culture and the only reason we're more advanced than them is because of the tyranny of the Christian white men.
He spins that we are the homophobes, though they throw gay people off of rooftops, stone them, and behead them- he says that Christians were guilty of evils a thousand years ago, so we have no right to judge Muslims- he says we're the sexists- though they own, kidnap, rape, amd sell women into slavery, not to mention maiming little girls with female circumsizion, or murdering them for embarrassing the family by "honor killings"...
He points the finger back at us, and mocks their faith and dedication by claiming he knows more about what they believe and why they fight than they do, goading them into bolder action.
The schools refuse to teach kids the patterns of recruitment, and the true beliefs of radicals, leaving them vulnerable to social media recruiters, etc, etc ,etc
It's all in the name of "multiculturalism".
