I don't see the point in bombing a little. Just puts a bigger target on our back, either try to wipe out a lot of ISIS or leave it, but don't leave it we can't just sit back

I'm pretty sure the target is already on our back...and it can't get any bigger, the target is already as big as it can be.

Yes let's try to wipe out a lot of a multinational guerilla organisation with multiple, self-sustaining, independent cells in every major city in the world by bombing some dusty towns and patches of desert. This is the best plan ever, I don't know why no one thought of it before?

they have grabbed land and declared a state of their own, that can be attacked and it will have benefits. Organisations like IS gain traction for a number of reasons, and similarly it will be a number of combined actions that will cause it to lose that traction until it fizzles out.

Every complex problem can be broken down in to a number of simpler issues, and when all the issues are addressed, the problem is solved. Bombing is just one technique amongst many, but it is still necessary to halt the IS expansion, and remove the resources it has captured and is profiting from.

We'll see when I bump the thread in 2017 when it's inevitably all further descended into ****, I suppose.

Probably the post of the thread.
