There would be too much collateral damage in that scenario. So, I prefer my solution - destroy the infrastructure such as oil transport facilities, trucks, jeeps, tanks and all Toyota 4-Runners. Send in drones that pick off the leaders one-by-one, over time.
Since it's a desert, there's really no place to hide and when you run, everyone can see you. It was a really bad idea for the leaders of ISIS to pick northern Iraq for their headquarters. They did a really stupid and bad thing - and now they will be destroyed by U.S. and allied air-power. Only the U.S. has the firepower to bring down ISIS - nobody else on the planet has the guts, enough money and ammunition, or the logistics to get the job done. The real problem is the U.S. Congress and the funding. Another problem is the alliance - nobody wants to send in boots on the ground. > On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 2:51 AM, jedi_sp...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] < FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > You want my advice?
