It's time to stop lashing out blindly because you've been attacked. At least Obama learned something from the mistakes of George W Bush. I'm all for bombing the shit out of ISIS, but not when they're in the midst of civilians.

Why the fuck did the USA just decide it was OK to bomb ISIS convoys of oil tankers? ISIS tuck drivers are civilians now? That is just insanity.
ISIS oil convey bombed (today? Finally).

If civilians cannot flee ISIS they are either hostages or collaborators.
If they are hostages few will survive anyway.
Sending in ground troops will not be effective.
An army of 30,000 ISIS barbarians has to be eliminated.
Problem is: even if the world powers nuke them -- an idea has no death.
How many civilian casualties are acceptable to eliminate the imminent threat?
To deny the threat is delusional.
