Post your SPECIFIC alternatives to current ISIS approach here

This, if I were going with the military interventionalist route, is what I would do. Military action won't work without boots on the ground. Boots on the ground won't work unless take the kid gloves off. ISIS does have a semi-conventional ground force that can be wiped out. Rooting out the chicken-**** bastards that want to hide would take creating occupation zones, and it would take time. The only way I would want to consider boots on the ground though, is that RUssia, France, and the rest of the EU be on the same page, and also contribute.

Agree. Like I said before, military is itching to go, just need the green light. I believe that the current strategy is to knock out the main/big/money maker targets and let the roaches scatter. Hoping the Iraqi/Syrian/Turks etc will then be the lead to track down the remaining scattered roaches with our assistance. It is their country after all. I don't know if it will work...but I believe that is the general plan.

Troops on the ground?

How many? Where, exactly? Mission, specifically?

More drone strikes?

How many? Of whom? Names, please.

Build a coalition?

Of whom, that isn't already in it? And what is the purpose?

Harsher rhetoric?

What good does that do? ISIS will suddenly see the error of their ways?



Be specific. That is the key.

Stop funding them and giving them weapons, that should be enough.
