In the beginning of 2014, a coordinated push by the mujahideen in Syria successfully pushed Da’esh out of four and a half provinces in a matter of 5 to 6 weeks. If the West was sincerely interested in destroying Da’esh, there is no mystery about how to do it. Instead, they have focused on supporting the far less effective Kurdish fighters, and aerial bombing. Logic must deduce from this that the intention is not the destruction of Da’esh, but only to prolong the fighting.
