Ex-CIA Official: RU plane crash adds to the sense ISIS is winning.
2015-11-09
[The Hill] Former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell said Sunday that the crash of a Russian airliner in Egypt last weekend could "add to the perception that ISIS is winning."
If you can't believe Michael Morell, then who can you believe? BTW, there really is no such thing as 'former CIA'.
There have been increasing signs that a bomb planted by ISIS is what brought down the airliner. Morell said intercepted conversations among senior ISIS members is pushing the assessment of the crash from possibly a bomb to "likely."
Yea, we get it Mike. It's sort of a 'Master of the Obvious' moment. The preggy question is, what's to be done about it? This is in your firm's wheelhouse. Answers please. Answers?
"It's going to add to the perception that ISIS is winning, and that has been a key strength of theirs in terms of attracting followers, attracting recruits," Morell said. He added that the crash could also inspire al Qaeda to conduct attacks in an effort not to be overshadowed by ISIS, thinking "we need to do something like this to keep our brand alive. Morell noted an ISIS attack against an international hotel in Tripoli, Libya in January that killed an American.

"I think you're going to see more of that kind of attacking, including attacks against Americans," he said.
He came out of the analytical section. Mind like a steel trap that fellow. He misses nothing!
Others on Sunday also said it is likely that ISIS planted a bomb on the plane that crashed in Egypt.

"All indicators are pointing to the fact that this was ISIS putting a bomb on an airplane," House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said on "Fox News Sunday."

#2  The obvious answer is for the White House to send more money to Hamtramck.
