Hilarious ... and it must be hilarious to even the believers if the leaders think they actually could do a 1/5th of that.

I think they are counting on a snowballing membership once they gain more civilian resources they can terrorize and "recruit" from. Even then, its crazy they can even remotely dream this up. Their current success is entirely based on how cowardly the Iraqi forces are compared to them and how weak the Syrian central government is.
