U.S. President Barack Obama apparently has taken a second look
at the spreading influence and control over territory wielded by
the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror group, and
reconsidered his options as Commander-in-Chief. His vow to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the barbaric terror
organization changed in a speech Friday to “degrade and
ultimately defeat” the group. According to a retired U.S. Army officer and military analyst
interviewed by the Washington Times, That’s a big change: there’s a major military difference between the two terms. “Destroying the enemy… means we will kill all combatants and
their means to continue the fight – factories, transportation
networks, economy,” explained military analyst Robert Maginnis.
Defeat could mean a political solution that leaves the enemy
combatants alive and ready to fight another day.” Political leaders in the U.S. are debating the level of resources to
commit to this particular war on terror, not understanding its
relevance to the homeland because it is being fought outside the
United States. A number of ISIS-linked operatives have already
been caught in the U.S. by law-enforcement agents. Intelligence sources have made it clear that at least 100 American-
born terrorists have flown to Syria and Iraq to fight with ISIS; some
were already sent back to the U.S. to form their own sleeper cells
to await attack orders from abroad. Others remain with the group
in order to translate documents and help produce the slick
Internet recruitment materials — including an online magazine, “Inspire” — that ISIS uses to draw more Western young people to
its cause. The group already controls large swathes of territory across Iraq
and Syria, and has used homegrown operatives to infiltrate farther-
flung areas such as the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza, Israel, and numerous
cities throughout Europe as well.
