    ISIS seems like a poor mans Al Qaeda. More like a bunch of punks picking fights. Theyre operating over there because they clearly dont have the means to pull anything large scale in the US, so they target the weaker countries like a bunch of punks. They likely dont have nearly the same kind of funding that Bin Laden provided, and since they are a smaller organization but more spread out than Al Qaeda was, theyll probably never be completely gone no matter what sort of response comes out of this, so this will likely just keep happening for many years/decades with them.

    Doesnt take much to get 8 dudes to shoot hundreds of people in a packed city. But to pull off a plane heist requires far more. Seriously doubt a 9/11 will ever happen again. I just get the feeling like they will do some bombings on known ISIS targets, and theyll just still be hanging around doing their thing after all is said and done, pulling off these smaller attacks in countries less fortified than the US.

    • You think Bin Laden acted alone on 9/11? Delusional.severian
    • Their objective is quite different. AQ wanted to cause terror, but had no intention of grabbing land. IS is all about grabbing land. Both are well funded.formed
    • ISIS is a way bigger threat that Al Qaedafadein11
