Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, The Atlantic: ISIS Is Losing Its Greatest Weapon: Momentum
Evidence suggests that the Islamic State's power has been declining for months.
There was a time when the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria appeared unstoppable. In September and October, as the jihadist group captured territory through a major offensive in Iraq's Anbar province, culminating in the fall of the town of Hit on October 13, observers feared that even Baghdad was in danger of being overrun. ISIS is now in the midst of another major military movement in Anbar, but the always-overblown fears about the organization's advance are now receding—and the group's decline has grown increasingly apparent.
ISIS's signature attributes, ferocity and unpredictability, have raised the group's profile and inspired a spate of lone-wolf attackers. But the organization has also made several strategic errors along the way. The Islamic State's lifeblood is partially money and territory, but primarily momentum against weak and ill-prepared enemies. And that momentum, which peaked in early August, has stalled.
WNU Editor: Their momentum has declined .... but a part of me wonders if they are more focused on consolidating their territories instead of conquering new ones.
