As I posted above, they already control half of Syria and a huge swath of Iraq. If the governments in that region don't fully commit to diggin them out their caliphate will be dug in too deep to do anything about it.
Yeah, read somewhere earlier about the vast control they're taking in Syria

Till we accept the fact that these guys arn't going away, Iraq is lost. ......But again,mabye this was the plan all along.....
I don't see how those guys go so easily to their deaths. In a number of instances their hands and feet aren't bound, and there are dozens of prisoners. Knowing their fate, the could at least attempt to overpower their guards, get a weapon, and not go out like a punk. These guys are "soldiers?" No wonder ISIS is whipping their butts.
Putting this here, as I'm not sure it is worth a new thread.
Saudi Arabia: Suicide bomber strikes Shia mosque - BBC News
Saudi Arabia could be in quite the pickle.
I think they got some of that right and some of it wrong. No, Bush didn't create ISIS. <gasp>Radical Islamists did</gasp>. But it's hard to imagine ISIS in Iraq, even if at all, with Saddam firmly in power. WMD just was an excuse to take him out. Faulty intelligence or not, the Bush administration sought out a reason to invade, to find their "ah HA" moment that they could justify to the world what they wanted to do anyway.
But the article does underscore how we could blame just about anything for the existence of ISIS. Blaming Bush for ISIS is a little like blaming yourself for the drunk driver running into you. If you'd just have left on time... Of course, whatever your failings that caused your part in the accident, you would have done things differently in hindsight. Nevertheless, it was ultimately the drunk driver's fault.

Lack of leaders, groupthink mentality, no 'easy' way out, resignation to one's fate. There are plenty of examples throughout history. Even recent history.
Without a Spartacus, there is no Spartacus moment.
