For those supporting the President's plan to fight ISIS: What if....

3. actually, I think it's the most likely.

I think in terms of specific rather than "better" or "worse".

It's utter pie in the sky to think that within the span of a year (or several) that Iraq will regain its territory and have a viable government. To believe that, one must ignore the past several years. Do you think the Sunni/Sh'ia strife will magically disappear? Do you understand that the "new" Iraqi government is largely the same as the old one?

A truce with Assad is unlikely but it's more likely than a new leader in Syria.

If the fantasy that you lay out happens, sure I'll say I was wrong, but that's about as likely as the problem of climate change being solved in the next year.

Note: The Obama administration is planning to bomb in Syria. That's not a political/diplomatic solution. That's force being utilized to bring about a diplomatic/political solution.
