The presence of up to 40,000 to 50,000 jihadi fighters suggests that terrorism will remain a serious problem in Syria for the foreseeable future. In addition, Moscow’s brutality against civilian populations in Syria and close relationship with the Assad regime could make Russia a more significant target of terrorist attacks in the future.

At one point in time our intel apparatus stated there was 25-30,000 ISIS Jihadis, we have captured or killed 10s of thousands of them. Now, it’s reported that 40-50,000 remain? Sounds a bit like the body count in Vietnam. Or Mccain was right about the 100 year war. As well as President Trump calling the ME a bloody sandbox.

Our number counts for body counts tend to look a lot like they did in the war with Serbia... which means ether the IS forces were able to maintain a massive level of growth through it all - or CENTCOM was a bit off... like their estimate of only 5-6000 holding Mosul.... and 9 months into the fight for the city - still the same numbers..

I don't know, but hopefully not.
Terrorists are cockroaches, and deserve to die regardless of who does the killing.
