IMO, no boots on the ground is a mistake. I understand Obama's reluctance, but IS is a much bigger threat than Iraq ever was. It's a cancer that is growing. More and more people get brainwashed by these fanatics, all over the world. The sooner we can get rid of them, the better.

 

Put boots on the ground where? Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Algeria that's not even inluding sub-saharan African countries where ISIS operates.


The only regions ISIS has a strong unchallenged grasp on and use to fund all their actions are primarily the vacuum they filled in much of Iraq and Syria. Most governments can handle their own defenses outside of that, especially if they are evicted from their money making territory. Yemen is a mess but doesn't pose the same threat.
