Top men at ISIS sez airstrikes don't have a snowballs chance in hell.
2014-10-02
"We've been ready for this for some time," Abu Talha said. "We know that our bases are known because they're tracking us with radars and satellites, so we had backup locations."

The ISIS headquarters that were targeted were emptied out, and ISIS fighters moved their supplies into civilian neighborhoods or buried them underground before the Arclight airstrikes came, the fighter said.

Abu Tahla taunted the interviewers about recent US strikes against ISIS oil refineries, noting that ISIS had other avenues of income besides oil sales. Abu Tahla also said that even if the US managed to push ISIS back in Iraq, it managed to advance in Syria.

#3  "Don't have a Snowball's chance in hell" > Strangez-vous, dats what Current + Retired US Generals + other are claiming.

E.G. CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > EX-CIA CHIEF [USAF Retired] LIKENS US AIRSTRIKES TO "CASUAL SEX".

GEN. Michael Hayden, USAF [Ret.].

IIUC, the "Sex" was good for the ISIS + aligned - US-Allies + US strategic interests, NOT SO MUCH.
LUCKY IFF WE DON'T GET AN STD(S) AFTERWARDS.
