Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) asks: what is behind ISIS?
The ISIS story doesn’t pass my B.S. filter because it violates common sense that such a competent fighting force could suddenly emerge and bitch-slap professionally trained (or even poorly trained) military forces with such consistency. I have worked in large organizations and I know that the logistics involved – the planning, training, and resupplying are huge challenges even for organized armies. Did ISIS really figure out all of that while their communications are presumably monitored by the enemy?
Well if that ain’t just some delicious conspiracy. It’s one of those “that’s crazy, but… it might just work.”
