Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel warned earlier this week that ISIL cannot be left to seize any more areas in Iraq and Syria, where it also controls about half the country.

The terror group will not end its radical mission “unless the U.S. along with our partners and coalitions stop it,” Hagel said Wednesday during a speech.

“You gotta destroy it. Because if we don’t destroy it, it will get worse. And it will get wider and deeper,” Hagel said…

Until and unless the root underlying cause of this is eliminated (that root cause being Islam), we will just be playing footsie with a hydra. Cut one head off and two will grow in its place.
