how do you try to paint them as the good guys here doing the right things?

I'm pretty sure no one outside of Iraq, and most people in it, see ISIS as good guys.

Pretty sure only ISIS sees ISIS as the good guy

This sounds a lot like "aww we have to bomb them but they're making it hard by mingling with civilians, we can't be blamed if we accidentally kill innocents" - Yes, you can and should be blamed. 

If the US really wanted to wipe ISIS off the map they could do so in one feel swoop. They will not. ISIS is the US' ticket to legitimise their mingling in the ME and to making the next puppet leader seem "democratically elected".

"Many Isil fighters are still holed up in the city, and are preventing thousands of civilians from leaving, effectively using them as human shields. "

Quote this part, this part is not about them mingling with civilians, this part is about using children as human shields.

But you think that the US can somehow wipe all of ISIS away instantly but don't because there is a big conspiracy that they are working alongside them right? In this magic wipe away move, do you think it would be possible without a single civilian death? I mean do you think they could pinpoint every single member of ISIS and have them fall over dead without a single civilian death? because otherwise the bolded statement would still be quoted by people like yourself.
