Saturday Global War on Terror Roundup


Today’s roundup of articles related to the global war on terror begins with an analysis of how different governments have sought to exploit ISIL/ISIS for their own ends and how the militants are exploiting them. How accurate is this analysis may be open to debate. However, it does point to the complexity of the situation, why action has not been taken against the militants until now, and why degrading and destroying ISIL/ISIS may prove difficult.
