John, I'm not sure that jihadists driven to such horrific acts will cave in due to their own vileness. And certainly not in response to the world's censure. They LIVE FOR that censure. imo.

Non-combatants will be killed along with the hard core criminals. I don't believe the world would accept that solution. The ISIS militants are already feeling the world opinion against their ideology. They will eventually cave-in due to their own vileness. Once the Iraqi forces take back their towns and lands, ISIS will be surrounded in their homeground in Syria by forces that are against them. It's possible that Assad's forces could wipe them out first. If not, Obama could start bombing their weapons and equipment to further degrade ISIS. But this could also create international furor for attacking a sovereign land in Syria. Assad would complain, but he would be secretly rejoicing in that the Americans are attacking his own enemy. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jedi_spock@...> wrote : You want my advice?

However, it's another scenario in Syria itself. At this time, I would assume Assad's forces are more likely to finish the job after the US bombs the ISIS stronghold, equipment and weapons. If they don't, the so-called friendly militants would take control and Assad's power will more likely be degraded. The soldiers that are flying the drones can see fairly well through the cameras from as far as 5 to 6 miles away. They can pick out enemy combatants.
