Why doesn't isis just get nuked?

Even with a tactical nuke, you have to deal with fallout and radiation in an area effected by the blast which is wider thenthe area effected by the explosive blasts. It would be a logistical nightmare to try to calculate that.

We don't have fancy scrubers yet that can wipe away nuke damage once one goes off.

But yeah their would be more civilian damage then you think.

You do not need nukes. CBU-55 are more selective and work well. The more pain and suffering to ISIS, Al Qaesa and the Syrian Rebels (Muslim Brotherhood) the better. If you hit the Syrian troops then no big one since they are just Shia terrorists run by Iran.

That would be great if it were just that easy... But it's not. ISIS (now called DAESH, BTW) hides among innocent civilians.

That being said, we could certainly up our bombing runs. What we are currently doing to attack DAESH strongholds is pathetic.

They NEED ISIS,.....they invented ISIS to serve their needs in the region,....it's a massive deception,....don't you see that?.......the reason they need to get in there now is because Russia has been decimating ISIS with air strikes,.....THINK ABOUT IT,...JUST FOR A MOMENT,......for goodness sake,.....it's OBVIOUS!!

Cause of sympathy for collateral damage...Didn't take that concern with Japan in WW!!

Civilian casualties

They will when they get their hands on one and do a Suicide Attack in America. Coming to a Town Near You!!!

They are spread out too much we need Forward observers on the ground to point them out.

hard to nuke a civil war without killing folks on both sides

We need to give them blankets with smallpox.
