The American envoy to the international coalition fighting the so-called Islamic State group says the Paris attacks have galvanised world opinion and military efforts will intensify in response.

Brett McGurk told the BBC that Kurdish and Arab groups in northern Syria were preparing to advance with the help of US special operations troops. He said the aim was to isolate the IS stronghold of Raqqa.

“We’re cutting [them] off, we’re going to isolate it and we’re going to suffocate and ultimately strangle them,” he said.

Reminds me of the old sci movie “them”. Yeah, perhaps they get the original hive but what of those who escaped and are breeding a host of followers elsewhere? Wipe em all out I say and use Trump’s list as a starting place.
