Winning the War Against ISIS–Summary
This is March 25, 2016. ISIS has just conducted another bombing attack on civilian targets, this time in Brussels. Atlanta airport was evacuated yesterday as U.S. has been placed on alert after Brussels attacks. The U. S. State Department has warned Americans to avoid European travel due to the threat of further terror attack.
We don’t act like it but we are at war. We need to take proactive, aggressive steps to bring ISIS down and stop these attacks like Brussels, Paris, and San Bernardino.
I hate war. It sucks. Killing human beings to accomplish certain objectives is a terrible way to conduct a civilization. Unfortunately, our species has not evolved culturally enough to eliminate war. So, when something like ISIS happens, the rest of us have to join forces and put a stop to unacceptable behavior.
We cannot defeat ISIS and keep them defeated without a comprehensive strategy. We need to ramp up our country in a war which we intend to win.
• Move towards a negotiated settlement to take out ISIS.
• Declare war with ISIS– officially.
• Lead the rest of the world in a coalition
• Put a stop to the atrocities of ISIS.
• Get informed
• Get involved
It’s our responsibility as a good citizen. It may protect the future of our country, even our world.
I have a five step strategy to stop ISIS:
1. Military action which includes a coalition of troops from other countries to provide the “boots on the ground”
2. Stopping the cash flow to ISIS
3. Plugging their supply lines to ISIS in Iraq, Syria and Libya
4. Controlling ISIS cyber successes
5. Negotiating a settlement to end their terror
Go to war? Too drastic? you probably are saying. But no.
You can learn plenty of this below. Read it, form your own opinions then contact your political leaders to demand that they follow your recommendations.
I’m just like most of you–not a radical and not an activist but I realize it is now the time to get involved. Let’s go.
This book is the fastest and cheapest way you can find to learn almost all you need to know about defeating ISIS. This is really important information. You need to get this book and get involved. Your future may depend on it.

4. What would a post-ISIS Middle East look like?
The attacks in Paris on the night of Friday, 13 November 2015 by gunmen and suicide bombers hit a concert hall, a major stadium, restaurants and bars, almost simultaneously – and left 129 people dead and hundreds wounded.
On December 2, 2015, Sayed Farook, along with 75 to 80 other people, attended a departmental event at the banquet room of the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Calif. Later in the morning they opened fire on the group.
In the attack, 14 civilians were killed, and 22 others seriously injured.
The FBI described this as a lone-wolf attack, inspired by ISIS but not directed by nor funded by them.
ISIS believes it is their duty to kill the ‘Kafir’ (unbeliever). They have established the global Islamic caliphate and they have repeatedly shown that they hate America and American values to the core. They hate Israel. They believe the West is a threat to the Islamic world and needs to be crushed. They look forward to the end of days, the apocalypse which they expect to happen soon. They expect to lose large numbers of their own members while killing Americans, Europeans and other non-believers.
On June 10th, 2014, according to reports, ISIS took some 600 male prisoners out into the desert near Mosul, Iraq and initiated a mass execution.
On February 15, 2015, ISIS released a video showing the beheading of 21 captured Egyptian men.
In December of 2014, it was reported that 4 Iraqi children under the age of 15 were beheaded after refusing to covert from Christianity to Islam.
After capturing the key strategic town just 5 miles from Al Assad airbase, where 320 US Marines are stationed alongside Iraqi forces, ISIS rounded up 45 civilians in the town, some thought to be Iraq security forces and their families, and burned them all alive.
Children are being killed by crucifixion, as well as being buried alive and sold into sex slavery.
Some 3,500 captured Yazidi women have been sold as sex slaves, tortured and repeatedly raped. ISIS later published an official document outlining the rules of proper sex slave etiquette claiming “Question: Is it allowed to have intercourse with a female slave who has not reached puberty? Answer: You may have intercourse with a female slave who hasn’t reached puberty if she is fit for intercourse.”

President Obama Addresses the Nation
President Obama speaks about the ISIS problem: “As commander in chief, I have no greater responsibility than the security of the American people. . ..”
“And I know that after so much war, many Americans are asking whether we are confronted by a cancer that has no immediate cure.”
“Well, here’s what I want you to know. The threat from terrorism is real, but we will overcome it. We will destroy ISIS and any other organization that tries to harm us. Our success won’t depend on tough talk, or abandoning our values or giving in to fear. That’s what groups like ISIS are hoping for. Instead, we will prevail by being strong and smart, resilient and relentless. And by drawing upon every aspect of American power.”
Let’s not short-change the danger manifested by the ISIS Crisis. If not stopped in their tracks, these types of terrorist attacks could be the beginning of World War III.
President Obama has recognized the danger that Islamic terrorists present to our nation. We are at war with ISIS and we will destroy them, he said.
It will stop the inhumane and uncivilized atrocities which are common now at the hands of ISIS. It will minimize the number of people killed in controlling ISIS, both allies and enemies, and it will start the world on the path to peace, not escalation towards nuclear war.
We need to declare war and fight ISIS with the determination that we used when we defeated the Nazis, Italy and Japan in World War II. This is not the time for a half-way war. We need to jump on it with a total will to win. If we do that, we will defeat ISIS and in the long run minimize the number of people killed and injured
Part of what I learned is that even people who spend every day on the subject of Islam or ISIS don’t totally understand it either. In December 2014, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State’s appeal. “We have not defeated the idea,” he said. “We do not even understand the idea.”
ISIS rejects peace as a matter of principle; it hungers for genocide; its religious views make it constitutionally incapable of certain types of change, even if that change might ensure its survival; and it considers itself a harbinger of—and headline player in—the imminent end of the world.

Must Know Information about ISIS
Muslims are the followers who practice Islam.
A caliphate is a form of Islamic government led by a caliph.
Some of the references proclaim that the last true caliphate was in the seventh century.
ISIL, (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), is a jihadist militant group that adheres to an Islamic fundamentalist doctrine of Sunni Islam.
Levant covers a wider geography than the geography of ISIS. It includes, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey. The group is also known under the acronym Daesh.
Takfir is a matter of doctrine which specifies a hatred of other Muslims, to the point of excommunicating and killing them.
Apostasy is the abandonment or renunciation of a religion by a person.
Many acts can remove a Muslim from Islam. These include selling alcohol or drugs, wearing Western clothes or shaving one’s beard, voting in an election—even for a Muslim candidate—and being lax about calling other people apostates.
Being a Shiite, as most Iraqi Arabs are, meets the standard as well, because the Islamic State regards Shiism as innovation, and to innovate on the Quran is to deny its initial perfection.
ISIS Muslims believe that Islam has been reestablished by the caliphate. After the new caliph’s July sermon in 2014, large numbers of jihadists began flowing daily into Syria with renewed motivation.
The Quran instructs Muslims to fight Christians and Jews “until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Sharia Law: by strict compliance, because it is only “through meticulous obedience, Muslims will avoid punishment of God in after-life and will enter heaven” which is the ultimate objective, and it does not matter if some Sharia law is harsh or that its application results in social suffering
Other scholars say sharia is not compatible with democracy, particularly where the country’s constitution demands separation of religion and the democratic state.
Our ebook covers a few of the Sharia laws
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband’s consent to divorce
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination

Shirk– (polytheoism)-the laws of war under which the Islamic State operates
The state has an obligation to terrorize its enemies—a holy order to scare the shit out of them with beheading, crucifixions and enslavement of women and children, because doing so hastens victory and avoids prolonged conflict.
Islamic law permits only temporary peace treaties, lasting no longer than a decade.
The caliph must wage jihad at least once a year. He may not rest, or he will fall into a state of sin.
ISIS has a sincere commitment to return civilization to a seventh-century legal environment, and ultimately to participate in the apocalypse.
ISIS is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people.
One example of an offense which can get you marked for death at the hands of ISIS is denying the holiness of the Quran or the prophecies of Muhammad. This is apostasy and can mark the person in denial for death.
All Shiites, for example, are marked for death by beheading, hanging, or being tossed from a high building—depending on the situation and the judge.
ISIS Muslims believe that the caliphate is the only righteous government on Earth.
Today ISIS controls an estimated third of the territory of Iraq and between a quarter and a third of Syria, the vast area, is home to approximately five to six million people.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been the leader of ISIS since May 2010. On July 5, 2014, he delivered a Ramadan sermon declaring the first caliphate in generations—upgrading his position from guerrilla to worldwide leader of all Muslims. The announcement succeeded in bringing many new recruits to ISIS armies.
The battle for Mosul ultimately will be the biggest U.S. operation in Iraq since the end of the last war.
“Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford, announced recently that multinational forces have begun to cut off the Mosul’s supply and communications lines, and to encircle and isolate ISIS fighters with cyber and air and ground attacks. Some coalition forces are already going after ISIS inside Mosul, and the final thrust to retake it should be expected sooner than the distant future, Dunford said.”
“U.S. leaders say Mosul, along with the Syrian city of Raqqa, is the heart and headquarters of ISIS. Coalition assaults on these cities, and replacing ISIS with local, vetted leaders, will break the group’s grip on Iraqi territory and end its ability to inspire or direct terrorist attacks abroad.”
“Rather than sending brigades of U.S. forces to reinvade Mosul, the Obama administration has deployed special operators to target ISIS leaders and dispatched thousands of advisors, who have spent months preparing Iraqi, Kurd, and other local forces to do the job.

Libya in Chaos
“There is no overstating the chaos of post-Qaddafi Libya. Two competing governments claim legitimacy. Armed militias roam the streets. The electricity is frequently out of service, and most business is at a standstill; revenues from oil, the country’s greatest asset, have dwindled by more than ninety per cent. Some three thousand people have been killed by fighting in the past year, and nearly a third of the country’s population has fled across the border to Tunisia.
The situation is an alarming one for Europe. With Libya just miles from Crete, European leaders could have to face an Islamic State threat on their doorstep.
The 2012 Benghazi attack took place on the evening of September 11, 2012, when Islamic militants attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others.
Multiple anonymous sources reported that the diplomatic mission in Benghazi was used by the CIA as a cover to smuggle weapons from Libya to anti-Assad rebels in Syria.
On-the-record testimony establishes that the CIA was not sending weapons from Libya to Syria, or facilitating other organizations or states that were transferring weapons from Libya to Syria.”
U.S. security officer Eric Nordstrom twice requested additional security for the mission in Benghazi from the State Department. His requests were denied.
The Benghazi attack consisted of military assaults on two separate U.S. compounds.
Stevens had his last meeting of the day with a Turkish diplomat, and escorted the Turkish diplomat to the main gate at about 8:30 pm local time. The street outside the compound was calm.
In December 2015, Libyan officials nominated 32 people to serve as cabinet members in a proposed unity government, marking a step forward in a United Nations-backed process aimed at bringing together the country’s warring parties after years of political divisions and civil war, diplomats said.
One of the original sayings of the Prophet Muhammad – a hadith – mentions Dabiq as the location of a showdown between Christians and Muslims which will be a precursor to the apocalypse.
ISIS dares westerners to send “boots on the ground” there to fight these final battles. They are prepared to sacrifice the vast majority of their forces in fulfillment of the prophesies.
The Turkish government has announced plans for a high-level security barrier along its 500-mile border with Syria, three days after a suicide attack in the border town of Suruc left 32 dead.
The next major target in the strategy is the Syrian city of Raqqa, commonly referred to as the capital of ISIS.

ISIS Has Plenty of Cash but Needs More
ISIS needs a lot of money in regular streams of cash flow. Even with extensive and large financial inputs, ISIS cannot meet the most basic needs of the people it seeks to rule with current cash flows. As the US Treasury (TFI) makes progress in diminishing ISIS’s revenues and its freedom to use them, it further exploits this vulnerability.
Controlling cash flow is not easy but with time, patience, and close international cooperation, the steps TFI is taking will help undermine ISIS’s financial foundation.
Cutting off ISIS’s source of funds will require dislodging it from territory in which it operates. This is one step in our overall strategy to defeat ISIS. It’s relatively inexpensive and saves lives in the long run.
Adam Szubin still is not confirmed as the permanent head of TFI. Maybe the group operates just as well with Mr. Szubin in his “Acting” role, he should be confirmed. Congress, get with it.
TFI expresses their intention to continue to deploy innovative strategies to disrupt ISIS’s financing. According to David Cohen, “together with partners in the U.S. government and across the globe, the United States will degrade and ultimately defeat ISIS.”
Controlling cash flow to ISIS is an efficient and important part of our strategy to defeat ISIS and protect the United States.

Cutoff ISIS Supplies
We can defeat ISIS in one month, or so says Tony Cartalucci, geopolitical writer, for the online magazine “New Eastern Outlook”. All we have to do is cut their supplies lines for weapons and ammunition.
The weapons rush came for ISIS a few months after the group started acquiring territory, when the Iraqi military dropped their mostly U.S.-made weapons and fled as they heard ISIS was advancing on Iraq’s second largest city Mosul in June 2014.
Purple Shovel is an example of a U.S. company who supplies armaments for the Middle East.
ISIS uses Telegram and other messaging services to deliver secure Internet messages worldwide.
Anonymous, the hacking collective, that has launched a cyber war against ISIS, has taken its own tack to degrade ISIS cyber successes.
Apple has hit back after a US federal magistrate ordered the company to help the FBI unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters. The court order focuses on Apple’s security feature that slows down anyone trying to use “brute force” to gain access to an iPhone by guessing its pass code.

Negotiate with Terrorists? No way!
I disagree. We need to negotiate but from strength.
Many people believe that ISIS will never agree to negotiate. Others think that it is not right to negotiate with them anyway, just destroy them–the only way to go.
My belief is that we should negotiate with them but we cannot start the process until we have them in a position that negotiations are more attractive to them than continuing to fight and to spread terrorism around the globe. We negotiate from strength.
You Need to get Informed.
To evaluate our choices in the Middle East, we need to have an accurate understanding of what is going on there. Listening to the political debates in the U. S. does not build my confidence that we do know what is going on there.
Negotiating with ISIS will be difficult but it is not impossible. The ISIS leaders say that they are in the war against the West to the bitter end. They are anticipating the apocalypse, the end of the world. Why would they want to negotiate?
ISIS is neither a nation nor primarily a Sunni Arab uprising. ISIS has regional and global objectives designed to grow the breadth of the caliphate. Its slogan is “remaining and expanding.”
They have no desire at this time to negotiate. ISIS has a 1400-year history that has built a DNA of patience and persistence. They don’t give up on their goals easily.
There is no military-only solution” to the ISIS problem. We need both a military solution as well as a political one.
Discussing a universal caliphate is off the table for Westerners as are issues of crimes against humanity.
John R. Bolton, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute “The best alternative to the Islamic State in northeastern Syria and western Iraq is a new, independent Sunni state.“
We can’t just negotiate and not fight ISIS. We have to do both—fight and talk. Even with that goal we cannot talk now. We have to fight first so that we are in a position to negotiate from strength. We have to arrive at a point of a mutually-hurting stalemate. Then we can start to negotiate a peace settlement.
