Okay, you say this:
They should have been destroyed a year ago.
How do you think they should be, "destroyed"? 'Round the clock air/drone strikes that kill whomever the bombs hit regardless of whether they are combatants or not?
Pretty much. Worked well in Berlin and Hiroshima.
'Fraid not.
Hiroshima had an atomic weapon dropped on it. Are you suggesting we go Atomic?
Nope. I'm suggesting Berlin and Hiroshima were filled with non-combatants.
Berlin was occupied by the Russian Army.

You have shockingly little knowledge of history.
Au contraire, I am not a victim of the public school system.
I doubt you're a "victim" of any serious schooling judging from your brutal avoidance of historical teaching.
Aside from Atomic play, you virtually always need boots on the ground. That is the bottom line.
Maybe when the non-combatants learn that they are not safe with the combatants among them they will take matters into their own hands for a change.
So kill a few dozen/hundred/thousand innocents to make a point? I see. Nothing better to improve America's image than indiscriminately bombing the crap out of non-combatants.
Them's the breaks.
And you wonder why the American people couldn't get rid of Bush/Mcain fast enough?
We spent a gazillion dollars, killed hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq, lost a few thousand ourselves and have zilch to show for it.
Yes, it was unfortunate that Obama botched the whole thing and spit on the troops by pulling out and embracing defeat. Results tell.
That is what you call no longer spilling blood in Iraq for some theocrat to take over?
Sorry, but you're just ******* stupid. I mean, really shit-brains. There was no win in Iraq to be had. Never was. Obama pulled us out to stop sending American men and women into a meat grinder.
You should shut the **** up but history tells us you're notthat smart.
Your remedy is to do the same exact thing....no thanks.
No, my remedy is to send ISIS combatants where they most wish to go.
Yet you won't tell us how except for "round the clock" bombing that has never worked outside of atomic ordinance.
Ah, so comes the name calling. The sign of fear and defeat.
You are at least marginally entertaining, but I do wonder where you come by your vast knowledge of history and military strategy.
I call you a ******* idiot because of your "Thems the breaks" response to killing innocent people.
America is a better nation than that. America will always be a better nation than that. George W. Bush at his worst would not have agreed with your sick, twisted, and frankly bizarre logic.
Only a ******* idiot would take such a stance. In war, when you're being shot at with flak and anti-aircraft and tanks are moving across the countryside, and your cities are getting bombed and there are submarines attacking your naval fleets and the enemy is imprisoning and killing millions of jews, you don't have a practical choice but to react harshly with indiscriminate bombing raids.
When the enemy is a rag tag bunch of hoodlums 10,000 miles away in a shit hole desert are are a threat to none of vital national interests, you do have a choice.
Try to wrap your god-damned moronic head around that concept.
