According to Fred Lucas of The Daily Signal:
After the terrorist attacks this weekend, President Barack Obama acknowledged a link between the central Islamic State and lone bad actors, even as the administration has frequently drawn a distinction in the past.
National security experts believe terror attacks “inspired” by the radical groups are just as dangerous—potentially more so—than if ISIS draws up the plan of attack.
The independent bad actors are clearly “executing the will of the organization,” said Bill Roggio, the editor of The Long War Journal.
