A photo which has been verified and is consistent with other AP reporting, shows fighters from the al-Qaida linked Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) marching in Raqqa, Syria.

Can't a few DRONE strikes take them out?

Soetero administration is arming them with the best weapons and the taxpayers are paying for it.

Oh, they can be stopped easily. All we have to do is wage war with no limits and no political correctness, just the unbridled instinct to win.

Maxim 37: There is no ‘overkill.’ There is only ‘open fire’ and ‘I need to reload.’

Prayer has stopped such scenarios before. From the Old Testament to modern times, we have evidence of this.

Political Correctness.

Can’t badmouth anyone now days except for Christians.

Because this is Muslim aggression facing “turn the other cheek-pacifist” Christians. Unless the Christians decide to start fighting back, then they are a doomed group. There have been fighting Christians in the past...why not now? And if you expect the USA to stop the Jihad? Think again, a Muslim is running the USA.

The reason ISIS is being successful is that they have a singular purpose and identity. They will do what it takes to achieve those goals.

The west is often fraught with second thoughts and varying intent, therefore we wage limited war to obtain limited results-expecting that our enemies will have the same mentality.

When “Allah” is your CIC, you have unity and all actions work towards the singular goal.

When political manipulation is your guiding principle (which changes often), you have confusion and wasted effort.

The Islamic State is also better equipped, with U.S.-supplied weapons that its forces have looted

US planes and drones should be in the sky taking out every piece of stolen US equipment they can find in the territory controlled by Islamic State, and all other military assets that can be found.

it can, but not without some serious outside help for its opponents, because in both cases, Syria and Iraq, its main official opponents are so corrupt they garner too little public support for themselves, and even some of what domestic support they do garner is also corrupt and/or incompetent and/or ineffectual

we only need worry ourselves about the Kurds, not Baghdad

Baghdad will either be saved by a majority abandoning Maliki and rallying a multi-sectarian majority against ISIS, or ISIS will carve a Sunni state out of Iraq and the rump Shia provinces left will move even closer to Iran

which is why I say again, we should only concern ourselves with the Kurds
