Of course one can't defeat ideology. One can exert control. It takes local forces and a centralized government. Ooops we left Libya wide open, abandoned Iraq, and even call for the downfall of Syria's opposition to these very forces. Yep with these tactics and goals Isis or anybody will/can win. Our President seems content with "containment", just where, the whole of Middle East and Africa?

The problem is this: Isis is growing in numbers/ability every day...........How long do we put off the inevitable? Is the number 200,000 as it may be today or 500,000+ tomorrow. ..........Which will cost us more in lives and dollars?
