Because Jihaders from various groups have realized over the years that making wild claims and unsupported boasts only hurts them in the long run. So does concealing the number of casualties they have taken.Oh? In what scenario do you see ISIS coming out and publicly claiming anything other than the strikes not being effective?
As a result, the various Al Queda groups- yes, I know that ISIS is not Al Queda, have quickly acknowledged and reported casualties. Likewise, Hamas and Hezbollah have been generally willing to acknowledge deaths from Israeli military actions and publically acknowledge casualties via paying out death benefits.
You seem to have difficulty grasping the concept that one can, at the same time, be:
A. A terrorist
B for varying motivations, truthful
I never said I took the word of ISIS unchallenged. Rather, I always took the totality of their claim and the other factors to draw a conclusion that they may well be telling the truth.That's entirely different then just taking ISIS for it's word as a singular reason, or one of the main reasons, to come to such a conclussion.
