I've Been Thinking:
The United States is revamping its perspective on ISIS objectives. Finally!
For the past 18 months the US has called ISIS a "regional threat" and insisted that ISIS was not interested in striking any targets outside of the Middles East.
Of course - that was wrong from the outset.
The US evaluation was so off-base that it endangered not only the US but also Western allies around the world.
To put it succinctly, the US has been absolutely clueless about anything and everything ISIS.
Thankfully, they have now re-adjusted their understanding of ISIS and know that it is a world threat and a real and significant threat to the US.
The truth was staring them in the face, but US leaders refused to see it because their preferred ISIS narrative did not see them as a world danger. Not even Charlie Hebdo shook the US out of their fantasy.
The signs and signals were there. But they refused to hear the wake-up calls.
