And dropping bombs from 2 miles in the air is so much more surgical. or would you rather boots on the ground and sacrifice the lives, arms and legs and other body parts of our youth? Given that getting completely out of this mess doesn't seem like an option any leader of this country being that they are owned by those profiting from this mess. Maybe turning drones loose in Washington is the idea but I can only dream about such wrongs being righted.

no, not more surgical.
that's why just an air campaign isn't going to be what ends this issue.
so, we either do what is necessary to end this, or we just keep the status quo-which isn't really an option.
but yeah, Lockheed et al would just love for things to continue as they are.

Jms, what should we do? What should our strategy be in regards to dealing with Isis?

HRC has a strategery to defeat ISIS. She tweeted it.

Step 1: Defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Excellent idea! Why didn't anyone else think of that?

Step 2: Disrupt and dismantle terrorist infrastructure.

Hooray!

Step 3: Harden our defenses.

Brilliant!
