Richard, As mentioned by the US generals, the US cannot win the war against ISIS by air power alone. It still needs military boots on the ground to drive away the militants from Iraq. The military boots should not be coming from American soldiers. The military boots should be from the Iraqi forces. It is their country and they should be defending it.

Because greedy US businessmen wanted their hands on the recently revealed to the public rich resources in the Afghanistan (which was why Russians were there in the first place).

Then the US supported ISIS to help overthrow the Syrian government. Now they are the new boogeyman to drum up more defense spending. Best way to defeat ISIS was to not support them in the first place. > The past is already gone, you need to face the present. The best way to defeat ISIS is to vote for the political candidate that will be willing to fund the U.S. military. The the only way to defeat ISIS is with U.S. military air power. That's what President Obama is already doing. Without U.S. military air support, the European and Middle Eastern governments will NOT be able to defeat ISIS. It's not complicated. > On 09/08/2014 07:34 PM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@... [FairfieldLife] wrote: It's the formation of a new government in Iraq, according to Kerry. IMO, this indeed is the most reasonable of all approaches, along with the necessary support from world governments to defeat ISIS. https://news.yahoo.com/kerry-heads-mideast-talks-islamic-state-180834352.html https://news.yahoo.com/kerry-heads-mideast-talks-islamic-state-180834352.html
