We are already making things worse with our air strikes in Iraq.

3. air strikes will not do any good, so why use them?

I asked this in another thread but wanted to ask it here also.

Do you or anything thing that air strikes from the U.S will change anything on the ground?

ISIS is battling Syria, Iraq and the Kurds all at the same time. They are holing off all these 3 forces and even worse they are advancing on these forces.

Look, bombing ISIS will not yield an iota of the success that bombing Saddam yielded, because the Iraqi people were not willing to keep up the fight for Saddam, thus the U.S bombing was the incentive for the Iraqi army to not fight to the death, but these ISIS fighters are more than happy to fight to the death for their vision of an Islamic caliphate.

Some might think that these fighters being ready to die will make it easy for us to get rid of them, but its not that easy, these fighters will not just all come out into the open to be bombed, they will blend into the civil population and use the population as a camouflaging tactic to overrun towns as they have done numerous times in Syria and Iraq.

These ISIS fighters don't wear uniforms, they are not distinguishable from the civilian population, all they wear are scarfs around their faces and if they sense they might be in a weak position, they just take off the scarfs and becomes indistinguishable from the local population.
