ISIL continues to expand despite setbacks
NY Times:
ISIL's strategy is assymetric to the extent it reacts to attacks by attacking somewhere else. It is basically a RICO enterprise that looks for new opportunities to gather funds and recruits.

That is why a twofold strategy must be used against it, with a combat persisting strategy directly attacking its bases and a counter inurgency strategy against its operations in Europe and other areas it targets.U.S. Military Campaign Takes Toll on ISIS’ Cash Flow
