WNU Editor: This is not forward progress. But what makes me shake my head is that the Pentagon believes that this is proof that the Islamic State is now in a "defensive posture". Sighhh .... something is not computing here.

I'm still thinking Kobane is where ISIS is fixing our attention, resources, and reactions, while they work on the larger picture/prize. Or as our 3 dimensional chess playing President might just maybe understand it's the "Kobane Gambit" declined.
Throwing chess at me James .... now you got my attention.
I'm a Paul Morphy fan. I didn't know Russians knew how to play chess.
I think one is seeing gains because the IS has co-opted various rebel groups and Sunni elements. The Arab "strong horse" mentality at work, even though I suspect a lot of the strength is other than Arab
What hasn't been co-opted has subsequently been subjugated, especially in the eastern Syria/western Iraq region.
I concur Philip.
James .... chess .... just a passing fad .... like the slinky, hula hoop, rubics cube, etc. :)

Don't say that, I must confess I lost my pet rock last year, the vet said there was nothing they could do and just accept closure....I'll miss him.
