COL Charles Williams This is an interesting release - because- Nov 12, 2015 U.S. counter terrorism officials said Mohammed Emwazi,"Jihadi John" was killed with a 'flawless' drone missile strike the moment he stepped into a car in ISIS's de facto capital of Raqqa, Syria." It's still good news!

How Dangerous Is Islamic Terrorism for Americans?
To any argument you make to your preferred presidential candidate about what did not “work,” you need to add a sober assessment of the real impact of terrorism on the United States in order to ask the question: Why exactly are we engaged in this war on this scale?
Hard as it is to persuade a constantly re-terrorized American public of the actual situation we face, there have been only 38 Americans killed in the U.S. by Islamic terrorists, lone wolves, or whacked-out individuals professing allegiance to Islamic extremism, or ISIS, or al-Qaeda, since 9/11. Argue about the number if you want. In fact, double or triple it and it still adds up to a tragic but undeniable drop in the bucket. To gain some perspective, pick your favorite comparison: number of Americans killed since 9/11 by guns (more than 400,000) or by drunk drivers in 2012 alone (more than 10,000).
And spare us the tired trope about how security measures at our airports and elsewhere have saved us from who knows how many attacks. A recent test by the Department of Homeland’s own Inspector General’s Office showed that 95% of contraband, including weapons and explosives, got through airport screening without being detected. Could it be that there just aren’t as many bad guys out there aiming to take down our country as candidates on the campaign trail would like to imagine?
Or take a look at the National Security Agency’s Fourth Amendment-smothering blanket surveillance. How’d that do against the Boston bombing or the attacks in San Bernardino? There’s no evidence it has ever uncovered a real terror plot against this country.
Islamic terrorism in the United States is less a serious danger than a carefully curated fear."

The big winner in all this are the Defense contractors and nobody else.

The only strategy that can defeat ISIS is one no Republican would ever embrace
Cut off the ISIL's supply lines, then pull *everybody* out. If we want lasting peace, we must practice it ourselves

SGT Mary G.
Capt Walter Miller Excellent article.
I wonder long considered the danger, primarily due to the enablers of those claiming their terrorizing is condoned by religion - and have said so for decades.
Muslim, Christian, Jewish, folks of any religion who want to try to blame religion for what it does not condone? I say take a hike and don't come back.
The damage is magnified when people want to believe any religion is responsible because terrorists claim to represent a religion as a way to rationalize their irrational terrorizing.
I don't want to mix up genuine religious belief with collusive personal vendettas organized by those with blind loyalty and dedication to political ideologies who have been trained to use religion as an excuse, instead of being honest about the political ideology they are trying to superimpose through violent conflict.
Our founders saw and avoided that pitfall, very clearly, which resulted in our constitutional separation clause.
