    So can we program drones to look for 50 of the same cross-over SUV driving in convoy?

    These are not bumbling idiots like Al-Queda, Hezbollah, or otherwise. These are well funded, intelligent, and very focused folks that we, as a country, have severely underestimated.

    Unlike what Big Ears in the whitehouse has to say, these guys are not the JV league over there.
    I totally agree. They also have a new video out showing them training kids, in those same uniforms they were wearing in the video of the Jordanian pilot video.

    They might have as much skill as a kid playing cowboys and indians, but i don't think they should be underestimated. They seems to just keep getting more and more organized. While it is said they aren't wearing these new uniforms in the battle field, they are starting to to wear them more and more in the videos, showing that they are taking things serious to show the world they are a serious force. They are a propaganda machine. if they show they are serious, others who "believe" in their cause will think they should follow them because they are actually doing something real. Remember who else was big into propaganda and brainwashing? Hitler.

    The world should take notice of them, and stop them now before they get any more powerful and cause any more people to follow their crazy ideas.

    Remember, this is the same group that got it's 1st exposure doing this stuff just 18 months ago: (Caution *** link graphic***)

    A bullet from an poorly trained monkey will kill you just as effectively as one from someone highly trained. I'm not suggesting that these guys are tactical geniuses, however I wouldn't underestimate their effectiveness.

    I have to agree. It doesn't take much skill to spray and pray with an AK47, but these terrorists have been killing quite effectively with that method for years.

    And 800 of them made the Iraqi army run like a virgin on prom night. ....leaving them pretty well equipped. It chaps my ass to see them driving our hummers.

    Don't let some of the silliness fool you; reflect upon what's effective and what's not.

    For example, the "ghillie suit" isn't particularly refined. However, consider its efficacy at 800 meters, and then reflect upon the fact that they're training their people to be efficient in asymmetrical warfare. The technology may not be there, but the tactics are. ISIS is showing that they've learned from the inefficiencies of small-arms campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are adapting to a more refined and crafted method of infantry combat.

    We know that air campaigns will do little to deter them, and the reality is that someone (whether it be Western coalition or otherwise) is going to have to engage them in small-arms combat. As laughable as their karate and tactical barrel rolls are on their own, the sum is greater than the whole of its parts. They are training with purpose and precision. And that is nothing to laugh about.
