Let's shut down the internet: Republicans vacate their mind bowels

Re: He's not completely wrong

Yeah, except the vast majority of ISIS's infrastructure is hosted elsewhere in the world. Shutting down the internet in the territory that they control wouldn't hurt them much, if at all. They have enough infrastructure within their territory to continue communicating within their borders. Plus the cell phone companies out there already have a pretty extensive network of microwave nodes that cell service can continue even if they are cut off from the rest of the world (Which wouldn't be that difficult to re-connect over satellite or some other system anyway).
