So I guess we need to be accepting and kind. That will make the terrorists stop...

    "Terrorist expert"

    LOL

    so the reason terrorists are terrorists is because we condemn them for committing acts of terror, according to this fucking mouth breather...

    it has nothing to do with terrorists being a part of a death cult where heaven is the end reward for committing acts of terrorism...

    Yeah, that's a bunch of nonsense. I don't believe for a second that anyone in the Middle East is committing themselves to violent jihad because of the offensive words of Donald Trump.

    What does propel otherwise normal third-world Muslims (who haven't already joined ISIS because of economic reasons) to jihad, however, is when their family members are killed as collateral damage in air strikes carried out by the West.

    there will always been collateral involved. the difference is that the US doesn't intend to kill non-combatants, it's an unfortunate reality of warfare. especially when terrorists often hide behind innocents...

    on the other hand, collateral damage is entire purpose of carrying out terror attacks.

    you can't just do nothing in return when a violent group attacks your civilian population. and you certainly can't give these groups a free pass into your country

    I don't disagree, but the asymmetry of the situation highlights just how difficult of a crisis this is. We have to have a heavy hand as we're fighting insurgents, but we also have to be cognizant of the fact that if not carried out tactically enough, our attacks could create more terrorists than they eliminate. And then there's the issue of many young Syrians, Iraqis, Libyans, etc. turning to ISIS because they have no other economic prospects. Obviously those countries need to be rebuilt to the point where jihad isn't the only feasible career path, but how do we accomplish that? Especially when our last couple "rebuilding efforts" have been such resounding failures.

    Collateral damage is a horrible deal, but you can't defeat ISIS one by one. That's like trying to stop a dam collapse with duct tape. You need to go full force. Citizens in the area really have no choice. They need to GTFO. Reason being, either they stay and be collateral damage, or with no air strikes, they eventually become sex slaves or labor slaves for the growing ISIS or of course, executed.

    But again, we can listen to the expert and play nice, and let them infiltrate our defenses internally. I'd rather actually do something about it.

    I hate to say it, but you let them sort their own mess out. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire after WW1, along with European meddling in the Middle East, is the root cause of many of these issues. Why the fuck should people in the Middle East care about their country when their borders were created by the English and the French? They are more loyal to their local tribe than they are to their state, by a huge margin.

    So what should we do? We should not topple evil, yet stable, dictatorships. When you do, you get even worse shit like ISIS and the Libyan civil war. We should support the most rational parties in the region, like the Kurds.

    And either way, the Wahhabists will still fucking hate us.

    You don't send in 10,000 troops, that's the problem. You send in 50,000 troops, Spain sends in 50,000 troops, UK sends in 50,000 troops, and France sends in 50,000 troops. You send these troops in after you collectively carpet bomb the area to lower the amount of resistance you'll receive.

    Sending in a thousand here, a thousand there, is what drags a war on. You drop the hammer, this thing is done within a year.

    Which is really something only military experts can accurately comment on. It would seem that our drone and surveillance technology should have progressed to the point where we can take out targets without killing innocents. Yet time and time again we are finding that collateral damage is still occurring. Hell, it was just six months ago that we accidentally took out a Doctors Without Borders hospital. Is our technology still not developed enough to avoid these situations? Are these just cases of incompetence on the parts of the military personnel carrying out the attacks?

    I don't pretend to know what the answer is, or what the best approach going forward is. It's an extremely complex foreign policy issue, and I'm not convinced it's one we'll ever solve. It may take generations for ISIS and other violent jihadist groups to die off on their own.

    I agree, when I said tens of thousands I wasn't thinking 10k but more like 35k-75k. I am unsure that you could be done in a year, however. You have to establish a somewhat stable government, military, police force, economy, and education system. The real problem would not be suppressing the militants and terrorists, but leaving a situation where these groups did not just arise again within an unstable situation where they could flourish.

The real problem would not be suppressing the militants and terrorists, but leaving a situation where these groups did not just arise again within an unstable situation where they could flourish.
    You need to back it up, with a rotating national defense once the war is over. You provide the area with a military consisting of multiple country forces working under direction of the new government. You gradually build the new governments military to defend future insurgents. That may take 10-15 years, agreed. But it's done through a rotating force of multiple countries, so the individual contributions of each country is limited. Unlike in Iraq where the US was doing all the heavy lifting, and another country world occasionally give us a spot. This needs to be a cooperative effort by multiple countries, and all need to contribute more than what was contributed before.

    You then provide a period of time, where an attack on them is an attack on everybody. So if insurgents come back down the road, you bring the hammer again, before they have enough time to mobilize like ISIS has done now.

    This minimal soldier and bombing brigade only gives these lunatics hope. You crush ISIS if you show them that they have no chance. You drop the hammer, your drop the hammer, and you drop the hammer. Eventually, they fall in line, because there is no other option.

It would seem that our drone and surveillance technology should have progressed to the point where we can take out targets without killing innocents. Yet time and time again we are finding that collateral damage is still occurring. Hell, it was just six months ago that we accidentally took out a Doctors Without Borders hospital. Is our technology still not developed enough to avoid these situations? Are these just cases of incompetence on the parts of the military personnel carrying out the attacks?

    I don't pretend to know what the answer is, or what the best approach going forward is. It's an extremely complex foreign policy issue, and I'm not convinced it's one we'll ever solve. It may take generations for ISIS and other violent jihadist groups to die off on their own.
    It's a religious war. You think, they'll just die naturally? WTF? This is built in to their radical religion. This isn't going to stop until they are neutralized.
    Does that mean we cut their balls off?

    Yeah, that's a bunch of nonsense. I don't believe for a second that anyone in the Middle East is committing themselves to violent jihad because of the offensive words of Donald Trump.

    What does propel otherwise normal third-world Muslims (who haven't already joined ISIS because of economic reasons) to jihad, however, is when their family members are killed as collateral damage in air strikes carried out by the West.


    there will always been collateral involved. the difference is that the US doesn't intend to kill non-combatants, it's an unfortunate reality of warfare. especially when terrorists often hide behind innocents...

    on the other hand, collateral damage is entire purpose of carrying out terror attacks.

    you can't just do nothing in return when a violent group attacks your civilian population. and you certainly can't give these groups a free pass into your country
    I don't disagree, but the asymmetry of the situation highlights just how difficult of a crisis this is. We have to have a heavy hand as we're fighting insurgents, but we also have to be cognizant of the fact that if not carried out tactically enough, our attacks could create more terrorists than they eliminate. And then there's the issue of many young Syrians, Iraqis, Libyans, etc. turning to ISIS because they have no other economic prospects. Obviously those countries need to be rebuilt to the point where jihad isn't the only feasible career path, but how do we accomplish that? Especially when our last couple "rebuilding efforts" have been such resounding failures.

    Why do that? Just have them adopt our left wing bleeding heart agenda, and they'll just fall off.

    Didn't the twat Harf tell us they just need jobs?
    "We’re killing a lot of them and we’re going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians. They’re in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs, whether…"

    "We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance. We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people…"

    Yep

    The left want to say it's a socio-economic problem when it's a religious issue. They can have all the wealth in the world, but like Race says, they'll still hate us for our designer clothes, equally of women, equality of race, acceptance of gays and transgenders, and our support for Israel. Giving them more money, just gives them more resources to cause further damage.

    It's both. They would care a lot less about the social issues if Israel wasn't an issue. I don't think they take the time, money, and resources to come over here on Visas, train to fly planes, and then ram them into buildings just because we're tolerant of gays.

    It was "tongue and cheek" to the main point. Israel is the root of the problem. As long as we support Israel, then we are a target. So, you have to destroy the aggressor. That's the only way to support Israel and not be at constant state of war.

    Giving them resources only multiplies the problem.

    What if the Palestians had been building a country since 1948 and all the Arab neighbors who love them so much had helped out. Israel built an economic power of a democracy right next door to a cesspool of death and despair.

    And that is Israel's fault, not the leaders of the cesspool who chose the pursuit of death over life.

    Israel could LEAVE tomorrow and the next day the little sand savages would still be dealing in death.

    But in your mind they fly planes into buildings over a homeland that is a myth and none of them ever had

    And the shitheads that did fly the planes came from middle class and rich families. The Bin Ladens are very wealthy.

    This is true. They do fly planes into building over a homeland that is a myth and none of them ever had.

    They aren't rational, but where in history are religious disputes ever rational? This group is full of crazies that would love nothing more than to blow up Israel and claim the Islamic mythical land they feel they are entitled to.

    If we left Israel alone to be wiped out, we'd see the end of the conflict on our side, but we aren't going to let that happen, so we have to destroy ISIS, and the radical Islamic state that support it.

    Isreal isn't getting wiped out

    Muslims had their chance 50 years ago, and got assfucked by the Israelis.

    Is Israeli part of the problem in brokering a peace? Sure.

    Palestine and friends are 1,000,000 times more of an issue.
