I've Been Thinking:
Good news and bad news.
The good news is that the number of ISIS fighters has not increased over the past year. The bad news is that the number of ISIS fighters has not decreased over the past year.
That is the official report by the US military.
The United States puts the number of ISIS fighters at somewhere between 19,000 and 35,000. I would say that the number is between 30,000 and 40,000.
The worst news is that this handful of ISIS fighters is turning the region and the world upside down. Billions of dollars are being spent in order to confront this group and they still remain the same in numerical strength and in capabilities.
The region and the world have been dedicated fighting ISIS - and they have not yet been able to degrade their strength.
I can only hope that next year we will be able to say with conviction that ISIS numbers have been seriously reduced.
