Joe...........Imagine trying to build some kind of functioning State, with a functioning and usable infrastructure; while Bombs are raining down every minute ( practically ). The LAST thing ANYBODY needs to be doing, is giving ISIS time to regroup and co-ordinate their forces and activities. Now, of course, bombing isn't the ultimate answer, but until some "Whizz" comes up with that answer; at least we can make ISIS keep their heads down and disrupt them, as much as possible, by bombing them. It annoys me intensely, that Arabs have NEVER cleaned up their own mess and I spent years working in the middle east. Even then, 40 years ago, they were the same.........although supposedly of the same religion and with the same God, they still found enough to disagree about ;to want to kill each other. It needs a combined middle eastern Army, putting boots on the ground; to clean up this mess. Even if the West does it, by putting their Armies on the ground; in the end, what we do will NEVER be the right thing.  It will never be appreciated ,by those who couldn't or wouldn't do it themselves.
