Very good operational and strategic analysis of the ISIS campaign, with details I havent' seen elsewhere.

Unstated conclusion: once this northern region is consolidated, it will be on to Baghdad, and perhaps Aleppo. Also, ISIS will be very difficult to dislodge.

It appears to me that most muzzies won’t fight for sh!t, so if you can organize a small group of fanatics that will fight, they have a pretty easy task to dominate.

it is assessed that the ISIS stronghold at ash-Shaddadi . . . .

What to do about ISIS anywhere they gather in great numbers.

A moabist proposal

Massive Ordinance Air Blast, aka "Mother of all bombs"

What the hell are we waiting for? I remember. W.W.II ended after four years of our participation. It is strongly believed that the two nukes ended the prospect of suffering more years of war and more hundreds of thousands of casualties. This war has been going on since 1979? 1994? 2001? End the damn thing!

No nukes this time, MOABs And yes! Internment camps here if necessary.

I hate to even hear the term “Caliphate,” as if it is a known fact.
But it is.

Yes. The time to dislodge them was when they were marching caravans in the desert. Once they are entrenched in the major cities it becomes too late. All of this is unnecessary. A coalition should have already been using air power against them so Iraqi forces can take them out. Still might not be too late but once they have baghdad there won’t be much we can do
