They're more like 70% in the north, which is their base. The goal, I'm sure, is to hold onto what they've taken, and agitate for a separate state, and they're probably promising the Kurds that they can have one too. The only mystery at this point is how much of Syria they want to hang on to.

Not that they have a snowball's chance in hell of success, but that is what they think they're doing, and nobody's got the will and resources to boot them out. So, we're loooking at another shitty, de facto theocracy, much like the Taliban have in their hellhole corner of Pakistan. Difference being that our drones will actually be invited in, to serially pick off the leadership. The only possible end game is armed rebellion by the locals, and that's going to take a while.
