I doubt that we would go alone on the ground against the ISIS, we prefer providing CAS to Iranians and Syrians.

True. But we would win faster if the US put troops on the ground.

Spetznaz instead of SEAL teams? Unlikely.

Would be nice if it could be a UN ground mission, you know...the sort of thing that the UN was designed for.

Yeah, I'll keep dreaming.

They are threatening all terrorists with a forever debate, and bore them to death

That's a great way to win: boring press conferences with ISIS

Anon has declared war on Daesh. #OpParis began on Monday and so far around 1800 Daesh related websites have been hit and taken down by Anon in around three hours. Since Daesh relies heavily on online indoctrination this will hopefully have a big hit on their operations.

So, there you have it, Daesh are finally going to get ducked by their 72 virgins.

Well PRC was looking into pledging an 8k strong force to the UN, which is a good start. The problem is that UN could not muster enough to defeat ISIS but it certainly could provide security to the non ISIS areas, for example the ones currently held by the rebels.

Vietnam had neigbors that cared, but Vietnam itself had no Navy to speak of (two PT boats attacking a destroyer?) (I don't think so).

They had no airforce to speak of except for Chinese planes and pilots, they had no supply lines except for men in black clothes carrying everything they needed at night to avoid the B-52 bombers by day.

Yet North Vietnam won the war, a long drawn out war, a war of brother against brother.

Now we have isis claiming a large part of Iraq and a small northern region of Syria in the middle of a war of brother against brother with rebel groups attacking both Syrian armies and isis to the north.

I'm no general, but in three years all we have done is bomb isis, Russia has bombed isis and now France has bombed isis held areas.

The blame is easy to see we have taken a, "We are doing something approach" instead of a winning approach.

Lets get serious and ask congress to delcare war on isis using every weapon (except nuclear ones) to defeat them.

We better do something before the war of fear comes ashore in America.

As a small child I use to play army with toys on a picnic table full of sand when unknown to me my cousin had planted bottle caps under the sand while I slept and when I awoke he wanted to play war.

I attacked and he blew me apart ... What I'm trying to get at is that I don't know nothing about war ... with that in mind I propose that we (the USA) drop in paratroopers with a way to get them out in a hurry if something goes wrong and have the isis army come and get us.

We retreat and bomb the hell out of them while they are out of their strong holds. The old Greek Trojan horse sort of thing, but we use fear to destroy their faith.

Cut off supply lines and make Turkey put all of its troops on the border ... claim Syria free of all terrorist and wait for the next group of wacko's to rise up against freedom in the world.

If I a nobody nothing can come up with simple plan why can't our Commander in Chief and all of his Airforce, Navy and Army might come up with a plan?
