Wow. I hadn't realized our strategy was simply defense. Oh God. It's worse than I thought.
Hmm, yes. We have not gone all out against ISIS. Nor should we have.

Um, how would anyone know that? The mark of terrorism is that it's unexpected.
MI5 feared a revenge attack related to or inspired by the killing of Jihadi John.
This attack (in Paris) was too coordinated and planned to be a revenge attack for the killing of Jihadi John.
But, you can bet they are going to try something else to get revenge.
They are ruthless animals. They have no respect for life.

I've been watching on the Periscope app. Kind of scary to see the people having to dive for cover.
