Either we take on ISIL, or the Iranians will.

[yldstrk]

Let the Iranians do it. The US has decimated its own forces in its fight with itself and morale is at an all time low.

[RIghtwardHo]

No troops. Period.

[cripplecreek]

I say we let the Kurds and Iraqis point out targets and we fly about 200 sorties per day until ISIS is completely crushed.

....Or most likely Israel once again, after they take out HAMAS.

Without a presence there we have few options. No way we should put our young men in harm’s way again.

Let these people fight it out themselves. We provide what we can to them.

I fear that eventually ISIL will capture Americans.

[dfwgator]

The best solution is Muslims killing Muslims and letting Allah sort it out.

[Boonie]

Yep...see my tagline...

The moron is too stupid to recognize the rich ironies in his Friedman interview. “Maximalist?” Really? It’s that very attitude on the part of leftists that’s Balkanizing our nation before our very eyes.

[cripplecreek]

Massive airstrikes based on Iraqi and Kurdish intel.

I’ll add to that and say we should arm the Kurds.

Iraq doesn't appear to have one.

[Night Hides Not]

That’s about the best you can do when the natives won’t fight for their own country.

[Vigilanteman]

Ain’t that the sad truth? At this point, it looks like the Kurds are the only outfit willing to do so and they don’t even have a country.
