#1 Noteworthy, the international coalition aircrafts launch almost daily raids on the ISIS sites

Who, who would rellay want the ISIS defeted, would launch almost daily airstrikes? Was Nazi Germany defeated with almost daily airstrikes? Japan? Saddam Hussein in both Irak wars? Who is laughing at our faces while playing golf?

#2 It seems to me, And please correct me if I am wrong, but when ISIS first burst on the scene, they were seen as the Supersized version of terrorists, yet now that there is push back it appears that maybe they aren't all they put themselves up to be. Like initially really aggressive, but not having a lot of depth.
Sprinters trying to run a marathon.
Anybody else share that feeling of late?
