   "They are not well enough trained or equipped" ?!   Another big mouth, small   
   brain, dares to post those words to demonstrate it.   
   Read it for yourself, ya ignorant person.  I'll post a link just for you - and   
   only this one time    ((+_+))

   ISIS an 'Incredible' Fighting Force, US Special Ops Sources Say   
      
   "These guys aren't just bugging out, they're tactically withdrawing. Very   
   professional, well trained, motivated and equipped. They operate like a state   
   with a military," said one official who tracks ISIS closely. "These aren't the   
   same guys we fought in OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) who would just scatter   
   when you dropped a bomb near them."   
      
   ISIS appeared to have a sophisticated and well thought-out plan for   
   establishing its "Islamic Caliphate" from northern Syria across the western and   
   northern deserts of Iraq, many experts and officials have said, and support   
   from hostage-taking, robbery and sympathetic donations to fund it. They use   
   drones to gather overhead intel on targets and effectively commandeer captured   
   military vehicles – including American Humvees -- and munitions.   
      
     In sobering press conference Friday, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said   
   ISIS has shown that it is “as sophisticated and well-funded as any group that   
   we have seen.”   
      
   “They’re beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a   
   sophistication   
   of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously   
   well-funded,”   
   he said. “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen.”
