By Anthony Franks

Just prior to Christmas, a German journalist, Jürgen Todenhöfer, announced he had spent some 10 days with the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and his findings were, according to him, highly disturbing.
At the time of writing he has not published an article on his visit, but has given a number of interviews. He drew three main conclusions:
“The first one was that ISIL is much stronger than we think. They have conquered an area which is bigger than Great Britain. Every day, hundreds of new enthusiastic fighters are arriving. There is incredible enthusiasm that I have never seen in war zones. Secondly, the brutality of their religious cleansing is on another level. And thirdly, I think the strategy of the western countries is completely wrong. With our bombardment, we have never been successful.”
However, this analysis by Herr Todenhöfer is arguably what ISIS wants the outside world to think. He is being used as a mouthpiece. He will of course disagree with this perspective. However, as he admits in his interviews “There was a huge sense of censorship,” which is another way of saying his access to information was very carefully controlled, and thus we can conclude that what he says is what ISIS wants us to hear.
Herr Todenhöfer has, perhaps unwittingly, become a cog in the ISIS propaganda machine that is now in high gear following a number of both tactical and operational defeats, and his comments and opinions do not sit easily with the battlefield reality.
To give some representative examples, and there are many more, last month 8,000 Peshmerga secured escape routes for the besieged Yezidis on Mount Sinjar, as well as expelling ISIS extremists from the surrounding villages.
Last week ISIS attacked Haditha Dam in Anbar, but the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) successfully repelled the attack, killing 30 ISIS fighters and destroying six armoured vehicles, after coalition airstrikes successfully targeted a 14-vehicle ISIS convoy. On the same day, ISIS attacked Peshmerga positions in Daquq district, south of Kirkuk – but the attacks were beaten back by the Kurds.
Captured ISIS extremists include an increasing number of individuals who, when questioned, are clearly wholly demoralised, and were no longer as sure of a full-scale ISIS victory in Iraq as they were in the recent past.
Hardly conquerors. Hardly incredibly enthusiastic.
Meanwhile, in the so-called Caliphate’s capital of Mosul, the citizens are variously hungry, ill, murdered oppressed, raped, or sold as sex-slaves for as little as $10, according to the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
Basic infrastructure: electricity and sanitation is collapsing. ISIS is even murdering doctors, which is spectacularly short-sighted in a crumbling city where disease will inevitably strike and where the water supply is so contaminated that people are being poisoned by it.
Telecommunications have been disrupted by ISIS destroying phone masts – the ISIS leadership are worried that the occupants will pass useful information out, and they are worried about drone-launched Hellfire missiles coming in.
Highlighting the level of concern within ISIS over the advances of the legitimate government forces, there are credible local media reports that ISIS has recently sent 12 coachloads of its families back to Syria ahead of the expected assault on Mosul this month.
And to add misery to misrule in Mosul, local media reported on New Year’s Eve that an unconfirmed medical source in Mosul hospital revealed a provisional diagnosis of Ebola in “foreign fighters of African descent.” The medical source warned “of the spread of the disease within the city of Mosul and its transmission to other Iraqi cities.”
Ebola is perhaps a useful metaphor for the initially uncontrolled spread of ISIS, but like with the Ebola outbreak, governments are increasingly aligning themselves and fighting back to control its pernicious spread.
At the same time as ISIS were sustaining losses in the north of Iraq, the ISF and Shiite Popular Mobilisation Units (PMU), supported by airstrikes by both Iraqi and Coalition fast air, continue to gain ground north of Baghdad, and the areas that connect Baghdad and Samarra.
According to a Badr Organisation spokesman “The ISIS terrorists are in a state of despair since yesterday, therefore fought battles with all their strength to end with the control of the security forces and the popular crowd on Dhuluiya.”
These examples, and many others, show that the Iraqi Police, the ISF, PMU and Peshmerga have seen more achievements than losses, and international support is steadily growing, with both Iran and Turkey becoming ever more deeply involved in the fight against ISIS.
So, to summarise the sub-regional situation: ISIS is taking a battering and is not gaining ground – it is losing it.
The use by ISIS of suicide attackers is difficult to counter, but only on Wednesday near the villages of Sultan Abdullah and Tal Shaiir, a brave middle aged Peshmerga stood in front of a speeding suicide bomber driving a truck, and calmly destroyed it with an RPG.
The perverted reality of ISIS depends more on creating the illusion of success rather than delivering the reality of achievement. Just like its blood-soaked predecessors, ISIS is more about unfulfilled pledges of a better life under their “rule” rather than the creation of anything enduring or worthwhile.
ISIS’ “victories” can thus be characterised as a triumph of digital style over physical substance.
The Kurdistan Regional Government and the Peshmerga in particular have remained a steadfast rock against which the black waves of ISIS have crashed, and which are now being broken, piece-by-piece, day-by-day.
Under the fresh, far less divisive leadership of Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, the Iraqi forces and the International Coalition are learning from experience and adapting their tactics to exploit ISIS’ vulnerabilities. The improving political relationship between Baghdad and Erbil will also help destroy the threat from ISIS, and deserves applause, nurturing and support.
Finally, the constant drip-feed of ISIS video clips on Facebook and Twitter is plainly intended to suggest an expansion of their control, whereas in reality, the ground it actually controls is diminishing every day.
One step forward to the Caliphate, two steps backwards to destruction.
It is therefore unsurprising that ISIS has resorted to black propaganda through unwitting mouthpieces to try to persuade the uncritical and unwary that they are continuing to make steady progress in their so-called “Caliphate”.
However, the evidence from the frontlines suggests the opposite interpretation is far more accurate, and ISIS is now on the long, slow but sure glide-path to defeat.

Every one deserves their opinion, and until Isis is under control I fully understand. The world or UN should just send in their best and be done with them . Once and full all

Oh, but that takes money and the U.S. would rather deny the vets, the homeless, and the starving people and use the money to help themselves in the upcoming elections-
