ISIS following 'end-of-days scenario'

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is gobbling up more territory in preparation for striking Western nations, and a retired U.S. Army Special Forces officer says the U.S. needs to stop underestimating the enemy and start engaging Sunnis in Iraq to stand up and fight for their homeland.

Retired Lt. Col. Scott Mann spent 23 years in the Special Forces, including 15 years of service as a Green Beret. He saw combat duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and several other spots around the world during his years in uniform. Mann points out that ISIS now controls a land area greater in size than the United Kingdom. He says the U.S. and its allies need to realize ISIS likely presents a greater threat to the West than any other group it has confronted since Sept. 11.

"These guys, in a lot of ways, are a lot more advanced than al-Qaida," Mann said. "Al-Qaida always talked about re-establishing this caliphate, but I don't think even bin Laden expected to see it in his lifetime. Whereas ISIS, not only have they established it, the caliphate is part of their legitimacy. So the expansion of this is a very real thing, and they're going to keep going."
