Sanders credited President Barack Obama for his handling of the fight against ISIS, saying that the terrorist organization is "on the defensive. They are retreating."
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says the United States needs to toughen its surveillance to stop Brussels-style ISIS attacks, adding that "we know who ISIS is."
"It goes without saying that when you have attacks that take place, when 30 people get killed in Brussels, something went wrong ... We have got to improve our efforts to make sure it does not happen again," he told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday when pressed for specifics.

Oh my goodness. Has Bernie read the news paper lately? I'm concerned about his viewpoints on IsIs. There are members here on ATS that have forgotten more about IsIs than Sanders will ever have. (IMO)
The shock value comes in with his statements about Obama, and that he praises Obama, stating ,

He said "We know" not "I think we know".
ISIS is retreating. The infrastructure that was to be it's Caliphate encompassing 2 countries has been bombed to death.
At the same time, stepped up surveillance is a good idea.
I am not sure what the point is of these threads that are based on a couple words.

Front-line commanders no longer speak of a scarily formidable foe but of Islamic State defenses that crumble within days and fighters who flee at the first sign they are under attack.

What do you mean by Establishment? Is it because he's been in DC for decades? If so, he's an Independent running as a Democrat, and by his voting record he certainly doesn't pander to the Establishment.
But, are you saying he's Establishment as in connected to the wealthy elites? If so, how you came to that conclusion is beyond me.
He's a democrat, since 2015.

ISIS as a credible military terrorist organization will be destroyed but the threat of radical Islam will be around for generations upon generations.
very pessimistic but I don't see people changing and the situations is only getting worse as time goes on.

I think Bernie is just controlled opposition for Hillary and very much a Establishment candidate. To me it is very clear with his stance on guns, climate change, the economy, now this. He is the PC champion and i doubt him winning the election would do very much good for Americans. I did not think it was possible, but he might be worst than Hillary.
I'm sure he knows who ISIS he credited him for fighting( im talking about Obama is that is not clear)
