I think that the wall to wall media coverage of events has been the sort of publicity that ISIS craves.....the oxygen of publicity is what these groups thrive on.
I think it should be reported and then left alone......not examined in forensic detail.....especially when much of what is being reported is conjecture.

It's getting kind of embarrassing and humiliating to watch whole cities shut down because there maybe a terrorist ... maybe even four or five of them ... on the loose. Let's put this is perspective: these delusional, medieval fanatics are not strong. They are not terrifying. They feed on the media hype. Roosevelt was right when he observed in his first inaugural address ... well you all should know the part I'm talking about. The incumbent in the White House is asking for help in confronting ISIS
What
Ten Nimitz class aircraft carriers plus all the rest of the US military capability ain't enough
If that is the case we are in deep shiite.
Maybe the media have a vested interest in ISIS ... they help sell papers and advertising. Pity we can't resurrect "Bomber" Harris and "Hap" Arnold to take control of the air war. Hunt down the terrorists, screw collateral damage, and soon we will see that ISIS is no more of a real threat than the Wizard of Oz. And don't let them stop the humanitarian effort to help the refugees. Much of the help over here is coming from church groups ... that would be Christians. It would be nice to see a few mosques getting together to sponsor refugees.
No more tears ... no more hugfests ... no more tacky floral tributes and teddy bears ... kill the sonsabitches. Hunt them down as the Israelis would do and as the Russians are no doubt planning to do. No quarter asked or given.
