ISIS Fight Dilemma Like Entering Fight With T-Rexes. Likely To Get Eaten By Whoever You Help Win

We face a terrible choice in the fight to rid the planet of ISIS. Putting troops in would be like entering a fight among some T-Rexes. You will eventually get eaten by whoever you help win the fight. Except for the Kurds there are no good guys here. There seem to be only bad guys and worse guys left standing in the end. And some of our allies like the Saudis have their citizens actually giving ISIS money. And we are not sure of others in the Middle East who are our supposed allies.

We are stuck in a Duke's mix and our troops would be in a terrible situation being on the ground. Any sacrifice of our troops seems completely unsuccessful. The nations in the effected area must stop this scourge and it is uncertain if they can or will do it. Only boots on the ground can hold territory as we all know.

If the GOP is so determined to go to war send THEIR children into battle.

Whoever we build up to defeat the current boogeyman becomes the next boogeyman.

Let them all fight it out among themselves, and if they get tired of doing so before they've killed each other off, then they will have what Europe has after they stopped fighting each other over silly religious shit.
