Is anyone else angry that the media is ignoring the real progress made against ISIS

4. First of all I don't have alot of original ideas of my own to stop Isis....

....but your post pre-supposes an organized siuation or structure that just flat does not exist. It really doesn't matter if Iraq appoints a prime minister, etc.

The bottom line is at least three nations (Syria, Jordan, Iraq) no longer have control of vast areas within their borders....controlled now by a very brutal force.

Just last week I saw terrible photos of Isis killing 159 Syrians after overtaking an air base. It struck me that the men had been stripped down to their underwear prior to execution ....Isis now possesses 150 Syrian uniforms.....as well as all sorts of military equipment that may be found after siezing an entire air base.

They are well funded....they are brutal. And they don't lead the movement from a cave in Afghanistan. They seem to have many more links tilo the western world than Al Quaeda ever did - which means their mwmbers can easily travel between the west and the batttlefield - hauling technology, knowledge, and money east....and potentially hauling terror west.

And to speak of them in terms of how the president has handled them misses the point entirely. These guys just altered the map of the middle east - that won't be addressed in any 3 year remainder In a term. These guys have destroyed religious buildings that have stood for ten centuries.....again there's is a long term strategy.

We have to have bipartisan agreement on how to contain Isis in this country - and Everything should be on the table....southern border for instance....no matter how this affects domestic political positions. Then we need international cooperation....this means cooperating with shady characters like Putin.

Isis is just as devastating as Al Quaeda. Only difference is they haven't killed thousands of Americans.....yet. But its certainly their intention.
