Re: No winners

I've heard J'hadi John has fallen out of favor.

We can hope. One of the common failure modes of revolutionary movements(*) is paranoia, when they break into factions and start killing each other until there's almost nobody left. Hopefully our intelligence agencies are hard at work electronically fabricating the appearance of disloyalty to the ISIL cause by some of those within it.

(*) I can't think of a better term, but allowing ISIL to be called a "revolutionary movement" is much like allowing Jimmy Saville to be called "just another criminal".
