(48,181 posts)So I'm all for arming and supporting organized forces in the area that will kill them until they either surrender or are all dead with some conditions.
Number one: give the Kurds their own state, finally, almost 100 years after that should have been done, and give them all the arms they need to kill the crap out of ISIS.
Number two: accept the reality that for now the Iranian shiite side in this cluster-fuck is preferable to the sunni-wuhabi-jihadists we keep trying to parse the good guys out of. Stop it. There are not any good guys there. Accept that what is left of Syria is going to continue to be run by Assad for the near future.
Number three: I was wrong about our air intervention, it is helping, we should continue to give air support to THE KURDS (see number 1) and to whatever is currently the Iraqi government, but we should not give air support to wuhabi-sunni-jihadists pretending to be on our side (see number 2.)
