Somebody is successfully standing up to ISIS? Does that mean we can expect another American led invasion in order to topple their oppressive regime and establish a house of cards which will quickly collapse and enable the Islamofascists to conquer another territory using American made equipment? We should apply the lessons we didn't learn in Libya and blunder into Egypt, it just has to work this time! Seriously though, ISIS is only as powerful as they are because behind the scenes America is still operating under the Carter / Reagan Doctrine.

What kind of operation is that?

The Carter Doctrine was a grand strategy that involved funding and supporting Sunni extremists in order to oppose the spread of Communism while expanding Saudi Arabia's influence in the region. Most presidents have followed the Carter Doctrine to some degree or another, especially Reagan and Bush Jr. I always laugh when I see people who actually believe that America wants to stop ISIS. If you wanted to stop them you wouldn't topple regimes like Gaddafi's because they are the most effective at opposing Islamofascism. As bad as Sunni extremists are for the Western World they are far worse for Russia and her Shiite allies.
