It would make sense to send in special forces on the ground to hunt them down. What's this attitude that 'our troops would be in danger?' That's what those troops do, love to do, are good at doing!
I hear that our special forces are eager to go.

The Greeks benn putting up with Turkish incursions for decades. Maybe Russia has whispered encouragement and Greeks will press trigger buttons soon. It won't take much to turn the Turkish public at Erdogans throat.

Possibly... since the Russians are no match for the Turks.

Well look! How do you bomb ISIS without harming citizens when ISIS uses citizens as human shields? Impossible.
ISIS is killing citizens. Will the citizens be more dead if they are bombed by the allies?
We didn't ask for ISIS to go on the rampage and threaten the whole world with terror attacks. They started it and they make the no-rules. We either play by their rules or lay down arms and let them come after us.
War involves innocent deaths. That's a fact of life.
Consider a couple of things: Hitler set out to conquer the world. He bombed the hell out of countries and killed innocent citizens without a second thought by the hundreds of thousands.
The only way he was defeated was by bulldozing through country by country and killing the bastards wherever they could be found. If innocent people got in the way that was an unfortunate side effect of war.
Do you think the world would be a better place if only Hitler was killing innocent citizens and the allies backed off and let him go to it unchallenged?
Then consider the Atomic bombs dropped on the two Japanese cities. That killed one hell of a lot of innocent people but it also prevented future deaths and suffering and brought about peace for a good many years.
Yes it seems brutal but the Japanese would not stop fighting and they were forewarned of the devastation to come if they didn't stop.
Do you think the world would be a better place if the Japanese had been allowed to keep up their aggression?
I think the same scenarios are being played out today by the fight against ISIS. They will continue to grow in numbers and get stronger while the coalition dallies trying to spare innocent lives. In the end it will undoubtedly come to the same conclusion - crush them no matter what the means or the cost in human lives. How many millions will die needlessly and undeservedly before push comes to shove?
I happen to think it would save millions of lives in the long run to go after them in earnest now and get it over with.

That's a nice big post of Kellogs Crunchy Breakfast History for kids. In the last sentence you proved that you have no idea who these ISIS psycopathic murderers work for. Every gulf nation that admits to funding them are allies of the west and NATO that makes them our murdering thugs. There hasn't been a day of global since the bombs were dropped on the beaten Japanese, an act of murder unparraelled in history. Your appreciation of history is a sad thing to witness. You shouldn't be allowed to have writing paper.

Define 'our'. Most people are upset with the Gov getting his nannies paid for, you really think they would pay for a private war where only corporations are the winner if Syria lost against ISIS.

If that is true then nothing can stop the Turks from crushing America after they have crushed Russia. You should lay off the crack for a while.

Sure there is something stopping them... Americans. The Turks suck too which makes this amusing.

Really?? More angel dust??
On Friday at the Saban Forum at the Brookings Institution, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said that Russia's initial plan was to take back Idlib and other cities that had fallen under rebel control within three months. "It’s not going to happen because of the military difficulties," he said, adding that the campaign to date looked to be a "failure." He cited the "incompetence" of Syria's army as well as "the lack of determination of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps."

Iran is getting whipped bad over there. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is better suited to shooting unarmed Iranian students it would seem.

How do they carry their books and take notes if they have no arms?? Inquiring minds want to know.

Are you sure you want him to have that information??

Don't worry about speaking plain English, even when he's here he isn't here.

With all these positive reports you cite it's difficult to understand why Assad is still in power and his government seems to be spreading back out to the borders. You might like to consult some sources other than Fox News and Romance novels.

He carries Satans mark proudly, his soul is shriviled, lettuce pray for him.
