Let’s see:

Korea- ceasefire. No victory
Vietnam: lost
Gulf war 1: met goal of kicking out Iraq. Victory?
Gulf war 2: defeated Saddam. Lost to Isis?
Afghanistan: no victory, will lose to Taliban?
U.S. revolution 2: just beginning.

The Atlantic has a vey worthwhile article about ISIS. (was posted on FR yesterday). The Obama administration would do well to read it. The ISIS adherents don’t want no freakin’ jobs. They are socialists/communists who believe the Caliphate must provide free food, clothing, shelter, and medical care to all the insiders. Economic base for this is conquest, slaves, captive women and children. They seek Apocalypse Now, not a career.

History tells us the way to win a conventional war: destroy the enemy’s forces in the field. Has always worked, always will. Anything else dictates a do-over. ISIS ideology seeks a conventional war. We should encourage and facilitate concentration of all ISIS jihadis in northern Syria. Use proxy ground forces to cause them to mass, then bomb to oblivion.

Yes, John Kerry and others of his ilk have said that global warming causes terrorism.

Maybe a stronger outreach program from NASA would do it?

“medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups,” such as “lack of opportunity for jobs.”

Ooooooh! That explains in 624, Mohammed led a raid for booty and plunder against a Meccan caravan....making jobs. THERE IS NO RADICAL ISLAM....THERE IS JUST ISLAM!...and apparently U.S. voters gave the top job to a pair of Islamist:

What do you do with roaches? You kill them. Keep killing them. Get more countries to help kill them. Kill more of them. Then one day, there won’t be any left.

The only way to “win this war” is to convert to Islam. That’s it.

The problem isn't a lack of "good jobs". The problem is Islamics who follow the Koran.

It's not like there haven't been any "good jobs" around for over fourteen centuries except it's these fanatics who want to murder everybody who don't believe in their phony "Prophet" and false religion, and don't want to be a part of their homicidal 7th Century Caliphate.

It's not the lack of jobs, Ms. Marie. They have had plenty of good jobs as looting, raping, pillaging, and murder can be attractive and profitable lines of work for those so inclined, as these scum are. They have been busily employed and many have gotten filthy rich in killing more than 1/4 billion people over the years who don't want to bend to their perverted religion.

It beats flipping hamburgers, Ms. Harf-wit, even at a San Francisco minimum wage.

Nope. No jobs in Iraq. Lots of oil. Lots of oil drills. Lots of oil workers extracting oil through drills, who get hungry around lunch time. But what they really need are new-deal style jobs. Sure. That works everywhere. Once they have jobs, happy times will be here again, and they’ll stop burning people at the stake./is sarc tab really necessary?
