U.S.-Led Air War Has Fired 63,061 Weapons at ISIS—Yet Threat to Homeland May Be Growing
(CNSNews.com) - The number of weapons the U.S.-led air war has fired against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria since 2014 (over 63,061) is approximately twice the maximum number of fighters ISIS had in Iraq and Syria as of the beginning of that air war (31,500), according to numbers released separately by the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency.
Yet, if ISIS is denied all of the territory it once controlled in Iraq and Syria, even the Obama administration is not arguing that the terror threat it poses to Europe and the United States will end.
In fact, FBI Director James Comey warned Congress in September that the territorial defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria will cause “killers” to flow out of those nations in the hope of murdering people in Western Europe and the United States.
