[SunkenCiv]

The simpleminded author breaks it down in the same simpleminded dichotomy so often seen even here on FR:

I simply do not understand our strategy, assuming we really have one. If our goal is defeating ISIS's ideology and its support of international terrorism this cannot be done by indirect fire, PERIOD! If [conclusive defeat] is our objective we have only have limited choices: either military control of 25 million Syrian/Iraqi Sunnis, which will require a sustained force of 500,000 for decades; or creating conditions whereby the majority of Sunni Arabs will see it in their self interest to subjugate the ideological minority.

The only difference is, the shills around here usually support the Shiites. Oh, and like the author, bash Bush I and II.

Jihad is jihad. That's why ISIS is an indiscriminate mass-murdering organization -- they are true Mohammedans.

Islam has to be destroyed, PERIOD. Every practitioner has to be made to choose repudiation of Islam or death, PERIOD. Civilization won't survive another fourteen centuries of Islamic atrocities when nuclear weapons are available.

Please outline a War Plan for us, achievable with existing or potential US resources (you're allowed to factor in allies, but not foolish ones like "Belgium").

Think big. Use the whole globe. Open the factories and shipyards.

Then explain how your War Plan achieves your declared aim.

Take your time.
