Also, I don't think ISIL is as big or powerful as everyone seems to think. We have images in our minds of them taking over large portions of Syria as well as Iraq. They have a strong foothold in Syria, but in Iraq it seems they have control of a few larger cities.
We all need to keep in mind that Middle Eastern countries seem to have large areas where the government has little if any control, and these seems to be areas that ISIL has taken root.
As far as ISIL's military strength, it's all ground based. They have no ships and no planes. The key to any modern day battlefield is through air power; Control the skies and you can control what happens on the ground.
