Eh, they're just filling the gap left by the degradation of ISIS. No real net gain.

I still think we are incredibly lucky we do not see this more often here stateside. Not to minimize when it does happen such as the gay nightclub shooting or the black church shooting, but if ISIS or or some other organization were really committed, I don't see how we could stop this from happening monthly here.

Sky News was pointing out how American news has been more on top of this story than the British.

They won't do it for the next 4 years at least because they know we'd go scorched earth

This. The one good thing to come out of the War on Terror is we rebuilt our spy network in the ME. It had been dismantled and now we are up and running again. I'm sure it has paid dividends

If there is one "good" takeaway from the fact it DOESN'T happen all the time, it's that I think western culture has more sway in changing people's beliefs on the value of life than we sometimes give it credit for.

I won't say we're winning that battle, but if you walk around London for 10 minutes, you'll see a ton of Muslim Londoners enjoying life. While I think plenty of those people harbor sympathies for terrorist act, the western lifestyle probably keeps a lot of those folks from getting into the game themselves.

Oh they're committed. I'm sure the US is at the top of most terrorists organizations lists.

FBI alone has 10,000+ chasing Islam leads. They really do a good job but at times it's not enough. The lone wolf types will slip through the cracks.

Funny how KB and MM will lecture everyone on the "white silence is violence" but will be mysteriously quiet on shite like this.

And Obama killed heaps with drone strikes. And George Bush fought two wars in the ME. Nothing has changed.

If they can get a shot they will take it, for instance, the classified intel Trump revealed to the Russians was about ISIS planning to bomb inbound flights to the US.

Partisan politics don't need facts, I know
