U.S. Maps Out ISIS Hiding Spots, Refuses To Launch Strikes

Perhaps the fact the some of the ISIL ops have been taking place in Libya adds to the administration’s discomfort. Libya was where this administration was going to show Bush and America how regime change was done. After jumping into the Arab Spring, President Obama and Hillary Clinton quickly realized that war is hard and got the hell out of Tripoli.

ISIL rolled in and set up one of their online recruiting shops and started their recruiting efforts.

From the Washington Times:

In a secret project tied to the overall U.S. campaign against the Islamic State, intelligence officials have spent months mapping out known physical locations of media safe houses where the extremist group’s operatives are compiling, editing and curating raw video and print materials into finished digital propaganda products for dissemination across the Internet.

And…

The administration is engaged publicly in a dual-track approach that involves an interagency push to spread carefully crafted messaging online and through local partners in various corners of the world to counter the Islamic State, while ramping up pressure on American social media companies to block extremist content and links from their online platforms.

But critics, including a growing number of lawmakers on Capitol Hill and some current and former officials directly involved in the project, say the administration’s effort is badly mismanaged and underfunded, allowing the Islamic State to maintain a physical footprint of media production houses upon which creation of the terrorist group’s most influential products depends.
