And they have been probably the most staunch ally (maybe a tie with
Israel) in the area for years. Not likely to come back to haunt us when
we give them munitions. Heck they deserve our support just for not

I can say about our fellow NATO member Turkey).
- Use B-52s to bomb northern Syria day an night - crush the ISIS
command and control there.

Or to quote Tom Clancy: Turn the place into a parking lot and send the
Marines in to paint the lines.

- Add additional carrier group to the Mediterranean Sea and bomb the
hell out of northern Iraq strongholds of ISIS and then some more. Put
several wings of A-10 Warthogs (Jihads call it the Monster) for some
clean-up.

Before we screw up and get all the Warthogs in the bone yard.
