You cannot change hearts and minds from an airplane
Bombing is not enough...they are like cockroaches....whe the fire stops they will come back out....better to do nothing at all....the fathers you kill now have sons that will hate us if we dont do something to show them they are wrong.

Personally I require as a veteran a lot. If we had decided to aid those wanting the overthrow of Syria we would have had a situation similar to Afghanistan possible. Hindsight is horseshit spelled incorrectly. The US, Turkey and many other countries will do something but it also means several Arab states will have to change their behavior or become tied to ISIS. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran

Its going to take more than that. They knew this was a dangerous mission going over there to get news. Obama has a job to do as well. And if you think he should lay down and surrender youre crazy and you will critcize that too. Your words are not credible on this issue. And he is already doing something to supplement what the last President didnt do to contain this. He took away the one and only man that had all that region under control..

I agree something more needs to be done. I would give one more sever warning noting that hell will be on the horizon if ISIS tortures one more American. Some of your answers concern me as an American, why are we sitting by idly while Americans are being killed?

I would already have the CIA and NSA working on in-country assets to identify drone targets; and the military with a plan to bomb these morons and their assets to dust.

It won't be "we" doing anything.
It'll be men and women in uniform risking their lives to do something while you sit around whining.
You want something done, go enlist.
Like the saying goes: If you want something done right, do it yourself.
