link While western propaganda would like ISIS to appear to be run by religious fanaticism, it instead, as RT reports, has been functioning more like a secret intelligence service, calculating every operation and drafting plans of a covert Syrian takeover for years. According to detailed organization chart and strategy blueprints seen by Der Spiegel, it has been revealed that the former colonel in the intelligence service of Saddam Hussein's air defense force (among many ex-Saddam officers who now make up the leadership of ISIS) was secretly pulling the strings at ISIS for years. From recruitment and training to PsyOps tactics and overall strategy, ISIS mastermind Haji Bakr rose to power after he became "bitter and unemployed," when the US suddenly dissolved the Iraqi army after the 2003 invasion. The article includes pics of the hand-written org charts, as well as a rendered org chart in English. The raid/assassination mission against Haji Bakr would probably make for a great 28mm scenario. |

Why not both? Like the Nazis of old. Good organizational structure and well calculated planning driven by, in the case of ISIS, religious fanaticism? Dan PS. They can't have translated all of them yet. Just the obvious tables and maps for now, along with what look like lists. The U.S. has only translated about 5% of Bin Laden's documents – the ones retrieved from his compound. The juicy stuff, that is often put off until it's too late, is going to be in the casual-looking letters to/from sources outside the area. |

Yep, the two are not mutually exclusive, and if anything, based upon their propaganda videos, confirm that they go hand in machete wielding glove, together. |

ISIS mastermind Haji Bakr rose to power after he became "bitter and unemployed," when the US suddenly dissolved the Iraqi army after the 2003 invasion. Yup, you might argue that disbanding the Iraqi Army was even a worse mistake than the invasion itself. Had the core of the Republican Guard been allowed to remain intact, they could well have backed the new government and Iraq wouldn't be the "shia-dominated" hell hole it is right now. |
