Hagel on ISIL: This..Force..is sophisticated..dynamic..strong..organized..well financed..competent

“This is a force that is sophisticated, it’s dynamic, it’s strong, it’s organized, it’s well-financed, it’s competent,” Hagel said. “And it is a threat to our allies all over the Middle East. It’s a threat to Europe. It’s a threat to every stabilized country on Earth, and it’s a threat to us.
“That’s clearly one of the reasons that we have put such a preeminent focus on partnerships,” Hagel said. Hagel, a longtime champion of international alliances, echoed what many Pentagon officials have said in recent months about the importance of alliances and partners in a decade of fiscal austerity and declining defense spending.

Hagel neglected to mention in this article that it is well financed by 1.2 billion Sunnis throughout the world and especially Oil barons who are Sunnis as well as by sending their Sunni sons to fight alongside of them to take revenge on the Shias who are seen responsible for what has happened and is still happening in Syria to Sunnis.  Also ISIL finances itself through extortion and by killing people it doesn't like and taking everything they have including land, businesses, and all possessions including their lives.
