It may shock Americans to know they don’t fight wars alone.

“But “French Military” doesn’t exactly inspire confidence as to effectiveness or numbers.”

They way overmatch ISIS. They made pretty short work of Al Queda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM) when they drove them out of Timbuktu and Northern Mali, early in Hollande’s tenure, without American support. Their problem is more their political leaders and leftist public opinion, then their military capability.

Intent can change overnight, but capability is a long term investment - France has a large, sophisticated capability.

They can do a lot if they really want to.

I am beginning to think that the best scenario would be for the Iranians to overrun Saudi Arabia, and spend 6 -12 months killing every Wahhabi leader, and then have a coup overthrow the Ayatollah with a pro-western strongman, before they nuke up.

“Chocolate Mousse”

I loved that movie.

Imagine doing a movie today where one of the characters (a black guy) was called Chocolate Mousse.

The PC crowd everywhere would flip out!

The second part of your solution is incorrect.
“Kick out those with ties to ISIS”
All islamists must be removed from civilized society in order to prevent terrorism; either send them ALL back to their shithole countries or kill them ALL.
Regardless of the computers, cell phones, and other 21’st century technology; these animals are 7’th century savages and barbarians.
