The Paris terrorist attacks seem likely to compel President Barack Obama to consider military escalation against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. But that probably will not mean dramatic moves like launching a U.S. or international ground offensive or accelerating aerial bombing in hopes of eliminating the global threat of violent extremism.

"You aren't going to bomb ISIS back to the Stone Age," Anthony Cordesman, a longtime Middle East analyst, said Saturday. [...]

Send the troops away so they won’t be here to defend us from the Muslim invasion force he is trying to let in.

“”You aren’t going to bomb ISIS back to the Stone Age,”

They already are in the stone age.

Well, so far, he’s been fighting everywhere on the wrong side. If he sends in more weapons, it will be to supply the terrorists. And if he sends in more troops, it will be with strict orders not to kill any terrorists.

“there are no near-term solutions”

They might have been contained if, around the time of the Patriot Act, the US had gone KGB on the families, villages, and relatives of the early terrorists. Terrorism is an idea and can only be stopped by making the consequences of its expression so rapid, devastating, and ruthless that any notion of performing a terrorist act dies in the mind.

But the cancer has metastasized, spreading far way from its sources. It’s too late for an easier solution. And the worst possible avenue is to let them migrate in their millions into western countries. That is embracing the asp.

Why? How do you know this isn’t going just the way he’d like it?

Step up military action my a*s. He had the faux Irishman John Kerry today saying they were going to import 85,000 ISIS members - oh excuse me, “Syrian refugees” into the USA in 2016. Expect B. Hussein to do the exact opposite of what should be done .
