During his news conference in Turkey on Monday, President Obama was criticized by the press for not doing enough to end the scourge of ISIS. In his reply he challenged his critics to offer a better solution.
Well, I thought I would take up his challenge.
As distasteful as it seems now, the United States will likely be compelled to escalate our war with ISIS by destroying them on the ground. As the ISIS horror increases, civilized nations will have no choice but to join together in a coalition to defeat them. Such a campaign will likely commence after Obama leaves office – or before, should ISIS execute a spectacular and bloody attack against the homeland in the next 15 months.
If we are driven to destroy ISIS, how might such a campaign be executed? What follows are some thoughts I gleaned from discussions with several of my uniformed colleagues. They describe a campaign that exploits Western superiority in technology and materiel and takes advantage of the intrinsic weaknesses of this diabolical enemy.

Sounds like a better plan than Obama’s, which up till now has been to wait until ISIS dies of old age.
I would rather drop a nuke then lose one American life.
once this is accomplished, then a campaign down both sides of the Euphrates village by village killing all that are seemingly ISIS. The air arm would block the narrow corridor escape routes and kill.
This would end at Aleppo.
Then pivoting south, the force would announce it is turning south and accept the surrender of all Syrian troops loyal to Assad that want to escape death.
If we get into a ground war, with a bunch of muslim countries on our side, as soon as the last ISIS soldier is killed they’ll all turn their weapons on us.
Have they flattened the ISIS hotel in Mosel yet ?
Or is that ‘ a prison in the basement ‘ situation too ?
World to ‘prisoners’ : Sorry about that .... your suffering ends now
absolutely
NUKE RAQQAH
send ‘ a message ‘
I would like to see all the war colleges mandate crash courses on Gen Sherman the next 15 months.
Meh. More ObamaCon, Saudi tainted mush and spin from the perpetual war lobby.
Just a restatement to topple Assad and resume the Arab Spring with a new promo.
You know all those “experts” that say we need “boots on the ground” ignore the fact that when it came to conquering the Japanese Homeland, there were absolutely NO boots on the ground, only two aircraft - The Enola Gay and Bock’s Car.
PREACH!
Maybe we should just threaten to nukem, maybe nuke an empty mountainside to show em we’re serious. I’m probably crazy, I just don’t want more Americans to die over there.
