Fast Draw – ISIS

What do the astonishing, shameful security gaffs in the White House and in the protection of President Obama have in common with the “war” the US declared on the murderous, crazy, organization ISIS?
So here it goes: in both cases, the result we see before us is the combination of protocol, regulations and a total lack of grasping actual reality. Just as the American secret service has failed in its task to safeguard the Whitehouse due to following patterns and applying only a small measure of thought into its work, the American war and its “coalition” against ISIS are doomed to fail – due to the same reasons.
When facing a terrorist organization like ISIS, you fight with what you’ve got and then some. What we have today is a poor joke. US jets, aided symbolically by some aircraft from Europe and the Australia, are carrying out a few highly publicized airstrikes each day. These airstrikes do inflict damage on ISIS and do destroy its installations, but they do not amount to anything serious.
Any ‘green’ terror expert would tell you, that against an organization like ISIS you much apply a steam roller rather than a barrage of public relations – which is all that is being done these days.
Nevertheless, this realization does not seem to permeate the rooms where the activity is planned, sense they too do not fully realize the extent of the danger. The US and Europe continue to think that ISIS is a terrorist organization operating in Iraq and in Syria. Grave error. These are merely its bases. ISIS is ready to hit at any Western country, and they will do so when they see fit.
If you do not eradicate ISIS now, you are going to have to expect mass terrorist attacks at numerous Western capital cities. Al Qaida terror would suddenly seem like child’s play after that.
So the US and the other Western countries must cease this charade and begin applying their entire military might. Not tomorrow – today. It is already almost too late now.
