Obama could give the word and the military could destroy ISIS in a few weeks with minimal casualties. Failure to do this means that he owns them AND ALL THAT THEY DO. This is on him.

I think you underestimate ISIS.

These people have been fighting against us for more than a decade....against our ground troops, air power, drones and special forces. Some within ISIS were trained in our tactics by the US military itself!

The longer you fight an enemy, the harder it becomes to defeat them.

The obvious answer is to change the tactics we use against ISIS. Well, first, that would take a commitment to actually destroy ISIS (which Obama will not give).

Second, the US military does not change tactics quickly. That is why we fought VietNam as if it was World War II and lost many lives to that mistake.

I am afraid that ISIS will not be an easy defeat for us.

Silence is tacit consent.

Lack of action against evil is part of evil.
