ISIS Gains from the West's Weakness
(Ynet News) Maj.-Gen. (res.) Giora Eiland - ISIS is not a terrorist organization of the al-Qaeda variety, whose members hide among the civilian population. It is a real army whose fighters travel in broad daylight, driving easily identifiable trucks. When ISIS conquered Ramadi in Iraq, thousands of its fighters drove into the city during the day in open trucks. This kind of enemy should be easy pickings for any Western military capable of finding these targets and bombing them from the air. But the West has not yet chosen to create a system that will efficiently handle this threat. The writer is a former head of Israel's National Security Council.
