The USA media is completely befuddled by Donald Trump. FOX is using a "Wheel of Fortune" to find THE STATEMENT that will stick to the wall. MSNBC is insisting the RNC find Donald Trump incompetent. At least CNN is departing from the attempts to find a statement that sticks and actually is reporting the news. WOW, that is switch.

There is no reason to look for THE DEFINITIVE statement that will sink Donald Trump because it will change in the next 60 seconds.

The New York Times has an article about a central intelligence effort by Daesh. It has been known there is a "Charasmatic Daesh" since it's first KNOWN existence, so this article confirms it.

...“He was speaking openly (click here) about the situation, saying that they have loads of people living in European countries and waiting for commands to attack the European people,” Mr. Sarfo recounted on Monday, in an interview with The New York Times conducted in English inside the maximum-security prison near Bremen. “And that was before the Brussels attacks, before the Paris attacks.”... 

I had stated early on with Daesh, NATO has a real concern in Europe. There is no reason to expand the mission for NATO while a profound danger exists there.

The idea Daesh is a sovereign authority is way off base. It is a terrorist organization that seeks to destabilize sovereign governments. Daesh is not governed as a sovereign authority, it is governed as a terrorist theocracy. The beginnings of Daesh started in 2003 with the invasion into Iraq. The Ba'athists migrated to Syria and set up housekeeping no different than al Qaeda in Afghanistan among the Taliban.

Daesh does not have the range it claims into Iraq either. The reason Daesh exists at all in Anbar is to save lives until it can be defeated. Claiming to belong to Daesh, Anbar is simply treading water until it is defeated and driven out of Iraq. Anbar surrendered while it was alarmed by Daesh's existence. It isn't as though Daesh has a solid existence there. That fluid existence is typical of Daesh's claims in any destabilized country, including Libya. 

Daesh has no sovereign military. It has no munitions production and steals or buys with oil money every bit of it's armament. The real danger of other groups, in particular, those that exist in Pakistan, is that they have the capacity to produce their own guns. It is done by artisans in Pakistan that produce components of guns and assembled there. The Pakistani government has not been able to take down that capacity within it's sovereign borders, but, I don't know that was ever attempted either.

The artisan gun culture in Pakistan is a complete affront to the Small Arms Treaty of the United Nations. 

But, as to Daesh in general, it's greatest threat is within other sovereign countries. This migration to Europe was purposeful while Europe allowed itself to believe these young men were refugees. It is nonsense. The migration of these men became obvious to most observers as it occurred. The desire for Europe to have open borders between all it's members, including Turkey, caused the dissemination of the terrorists. Now, it is up to Europe's intelligence agencies to rout out the terrorists and bring them to court and/or prison if there is not an armed response in the first place. 

Realizing through this article by the NYTimes the reality of Daesh in Europe brings a far greater concern in that an armed presence may be necessary if the group is planning an uprising among the people. Intelligence needs to work as quickly as possible to identify the new men and bring them to authorities to deport back to Syria. They are not at all refugees. They are enemies of the country in which they have migrated. These men are a danger to Europe and need to be deported back to their homeland. Turkey also needs to harden it's borders with Syria. Turkey has to recognize Russia's right to assist an ally and provide a space for Russia to patrol the Syrian's borders since Turkey seems completely incapable of conducting that vital capacity to stem the movement of Daesh.

Daesh is a global concern, but, it is manageable. It is a terrorist organization that has existed since 2003 and it needs to be acted on to remove the threat. The global community can wait for people to carry out an attack as in Europe, however, Indonesia has been managing these dangerous people for a very long time. What is amazing about Indonesia is that is carries out it's sovereign authority as an island nation. Amazing.

Management by removing dangerous people among citizens is a far better approach then putting out fires as they occur. And, again, there is a strong reason for media to be a friend to the people in addressing these arrests and finding the fact to protect the innocent.
