In short, the Paris attacks proves that ISIS/ISIL/Daesh has been contained militarily. If they weren't boxed in, they wouldn't be expending resources on terrorist attacks.

Have you gone mad? That has to go down as one of the craziest things ever said on this thread.
Why isn't Obama saying it now?

Some were reportedly freed after being able to recite the Muslim profession of faith.

What we know about the Mali hotel attack


Gunmen stormed into a Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali, early in the morning on Nov. 20. The hotel company reported that 170 hostages were initially trapped inside. The standoff between the attackers and police forces is still ongoing. (Jenny Starrs/The Washington Post)

NAIROBI, Kenya — Gunmen stormed a luxury hotel in Mali’s capital on Friday with 170 guests and staff, killing at least three people and taking hostages in a city that serves as a logistics hub for French and American forces helping fight Islamist insurgents.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and the identities or affiliation of the assailants were not clear. But Mali has faced repeated attacks from militants linked to al-Qaeda and other factions.

Security forces conducted room-by-room searches amid sporadic gunfire. U.S. military units and French commandos were dispatched to the scene.

At least 80 captives managed to escape or were released by the attackers hours after the standoff begun, state TV reported in Mali. Some were reportedly freed after being able to recite the Muslim profession of faith.

And ISIL/DAESH have very little real world experience running cities & are having to fight more on multiple fronts. Btw, i like this new word 'DAESH" for these fanatical scum for they absolutely hate it.

( Not over reported but we just hit one of their oil truck caravans last week for the first time, a good thing. For those who say Obama isn't doing anything are just being stupid)

That's nuts.

It proves they can walk and chew gum.
