Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

As Islamic State continues advancing, US claims coalition has killed 10,000 Islamic State jihadis

Jun 3, 2015 2:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Baghdad_BobBaghdad Bob is on a roll. “U.S. says 10,000 Islamic State militants killed in nine-month campaign,” Reuters, June 3, 2015:

More than 10,000 Islamic State fighters have been killed since the international coalition started its campaign against the militant group nine months ago in Iraq and Syria, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday.

Winken and Nod were unavailable for comment.

Speaking after the coalition met in Paris, he said there had been a great deal of progress in the fight against Islamic State but that the group remained resilient and capable of taking the initiative.

“We have seen a lot of losses within Daesh since the start of this campaign, more than 10,000,” Blinken said on France Inter radio, using a mildly derogatory term for Islamic State. “It will end up having an impact.”…

Yes, prosperity is just around the corner, Mr. Hoover.

    That’s what, half, or less than half, of the foreigns combatants? A drop in the ocean.

      50% is a big reduction in numbers. The casualties tie up a lot of resources. The operational capacity is greatly reduced. No doubt about it.

      15% of Muslims worldwide say they are in favor of terrorist groups. Only one in a thousand jihad supporters will want to get involved. That translates to tens of thousands, but not hundreds of thousands. Most of the would-be jihadists are in Syria.

      We should expect a lot more home-grown jihadists as the frustration grows. Our intel communities need to master the jihad doctrine to catch local jihadists. The jihad doctrine needs to be taught to the public as well so people can stop jihad as soon as symptoms appear.

      I am old enough to remember the Vietnam war where the U.S. military would report inflated number of enemy killed so that I wondered how we were not winning. This is another case of more lies from the Obama-controlled military. There are millions of Muslims willing to take the place of the dead martyrs, so we really need to wipe out ISIS as they are encouraging Muslims all over the world to attack infidels, as happened in Boston recently.

    Thank God! Finally we are winning against these hijackers of Islam, the religion of peace. I can sleep at night now and Robert and Pam can retire of their duties of talking about this wonderful religion.

    The cruel brutal and murderous jihad entity ISIS might not have advanced as far as it has in the first place if it weren’t for the arrogant and incompetent Obama with his polices and politics of extreme folly. For example in the book entitled ISIS EXPOSED by Erick Stakelbeck on page 24 he informs his readers about Obama that “the advice of his top commander on the ground , General Lloyd J Austin II [who recommended keeping twenty-four thousand US troops in Iraq], and other top military officials, President Obama had authorized the complete withdrawal of American troops from the country.” The foolishness of Obama in in strong contrast to the wisdom of Sun Tzu in his book THE ART OF WAR. which teaches “He will win who has the military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”

      With respect Walter, Obama is far from foolish. He is brilliantly playing the Muslim game of ” Stealth Jihad ” Obama is systematically weakening Western defences at every opportunity, while encouraging mass uncontrolled Muslim immigration into the USA. I doubt if anyone in the USA would be happier to see Minarets added to the White House, than Barak Hussein Obama—Muslim enabler in chief.

    So, there is a “campaign” by the international coalition in “the fight” against the “militant group” Islamic State, claiming more than 10,000 of their “fighters”.

    But we are not at war.
    No, just a campaign against a group.

      To Michael Copeland- I read your article on Liberty/UK We-Are-at-War. It pinpointed the problems clearly and concisely. Thank you for that. There is just 1 thing I don’t get. The vile despicable Anjem Choudhary somehow has the ear of someone in the UK’S government. He gets the equivalent of 50 grand a year in US money for sitting on his a** and preaching hate. That is more than some folks earn working 40 hours a week! Do you think the UK gov. made a secret deal with him to be what theatre owners had in the time of Shakespeare: claques. A claque was hired to laugh loudly, or hiss or applaud at certain designated points in the show to lead the audience into doing the same. But no one except the theatre owner knew who the claque was. So I am thinking Anjem Choudhary has been given a free pass from the UK gov. as someone who represents radical jihad Islam, yet he manages to “keep his boys in line” most of the time, and the British public generally, is not threatened by people like him or his kind. Do you think this plausible? I mean Senator John McCain was in a photo with al- Baghdadi a few years ago. Anything is possible when it comes to our elected reps. Looking forward to your reply.

    Hmm, well the CIA previously estimated (September 2014 – not long after the airstrikes began) their military to be between 20,000-30,000 troops. So that means they’ve lost a third up to half of their fighters in that time? Right. If this claim is true then IS boast a far more extensive force than we are led to believe (other estimates put it nearer to 100,000) or it is pure fabrication. I suspect the latter.

    “We have seen a lot of losses within Daesh since the start of this campaign, more than 10,000,”

    More than 10,000 losses, in Obama’s White House-speak could mean more than 10,000 have been lost to Europe as Muslims flock to the Islamic State. Or that American bombing has killed more than 10,000 civilians ‘within’ Daesh controlled areas.

    Or of course it could mean anything else, last on the list being that the Muslim in the White House willfully and deliberately killed 10,000 Islamic State fighters.

    “Now we can see [success in Vietnam] clearly, like light at the end of a tunnel.”

    –Gen. Henri Navarre, assuming command of French Union Forces in Vietnam, 1953

    “Infiltration will slow; the Communist infrastructure will be cut up and near collapse; the Vietnamese Government will prove its stability, and the Vietnamese army will show that it can handle the Vietcong; United States units can begin to phase down.”

    — Gen. William C. Westmoreland, November 1967
