Again, how? It's easy to say we should bomb them. But how?

If (a huge if) any government had any idea about these 8-10 (or more) extremists, they were likely living in Paris, or London, or wherever. It's not like they're all sitting in some area called ISIS.

I doubt these guys were walking around the months before this attack waving an ISIS flag. It's non-traditional warfare. They don't wear uniforms or wave a flag. They blend in like other citizens and attack with a bomb in a backpack or guns in a theatre.

I just don't see how you "bomb" your way out of this fight. I wish it was that easy. But I don't think that's remotely realistic. You're thinking way too simplistically.

they are not on their own and are being financed by a larger body. You need to cut off the head of the snake..financing, training etc etc..once it gets to the point of random guy with backpack we ate fucked

By many accounts, Saudi Arabia, our greatest ally in he region outside of Israel, is financing them indirectly. So do we turn Saudi Arabia into a Parking Lot?
This is far more complicated, as the OP stated. There is no Country or Countries we can bomb and get rid of ISIS and Al Queda and all their offshoots.

You are correct when you state that the Arab countries should fight the battle on the ground but empty promises leave these countries unwilling to go it alone. They cannot count on the US after the Syria, Libya and Iraq debacles. Until we have leadership that will step up and truly support these countries, you will see the Middle East collapse further into the hands of terrorists hell bent on the destruction of the civilized world.

We currently have less than 5 specialist boots on the ground with a promise of 50 more? By most realist's standards, this administration's foreign policy has been a disaster and the next president is going to have one hell of a mess on their hands

The solution isn't playing wack-a-mole with the terrorists all over the globe for the next 10000000 years. The way the threat currently is and fought the enemy will never be conquered and this back and forth goes on forever.

Unfortunatley I would say that is the new normal. You don't stop wiping your ass because your going to have to shit later in the day. The same way you don't stop fighting terrorism because their will be new terrorist.
Obama has let them grow stronger, smarter, and bolder. The longer you wait the harder it is to fight them.
You fight them the way the russians fight them. You catch a terrorist then you kill his family, his dog, and and his mailman...kill the roots and all.

bomb them, bomb their armies, bomb their convoys, bomb their cars, bomb their homes, bomb their families, bomb their cities, bomb their strongholds, bomb them into submission, bomb them back to the middle ages

when a talking head shows his face, but a bullet through his mouth

when they kill one person, we kill 1,000

when somebody is found to help them in any capacity, water board, or hand them over to the Columbia Cartel

defeat them like we defeated our enemies before TV

they believe we're submissive paper Tigers, they've been right so far, we need to scare reality into them

Willie99 has the solution. That is it. These savages only understand brute force and you have to kick the shit out of them so badly that you eliminate the threat of them doing anything. I would kill their leaders, wipe out their wives because they are the breeders of future war mongers and unfortunately take out their families too. These kids, are taught from the moment they are born to hate and try and destroy the west. Take no prisoners and show no mercy on this enemy.

According to Sergeant OBAMA...send 10 more troops in.

After all...OBama has them on the run.

Once again, how do you bomb an enemy if you don't know exactly who or where they are?

if France (or others) knew who these extremists were prior to Friday night, I'm sure they would've done their best to catch them. But the reality is that these were likely just normal-looking guys walking around. They didn't tell their neighbors they were with ISIS. They didn't hang an ISIS flag out their windows.

I don't understand the "just bomb them" strategy without any other insight. That works if you're fighting North Korea. I don't see how it works with ISIS.

Thats like saying we should have just killed the Columbine students before their school shooting. Well we didn't know those kids were going to do it until they had already committed their violent acts.

They need to send in specialized tactical units to take these sick fuckers out and anyone that has spoken to them. Don't just smack them on the wrist.


Certainly can't be passive, they feed off of this and seem to have everyone on the defensive.

Now we're letting all kinds of Syrian refugees into the US. If you were ISIS why wouldn't you take advantage of this?

You're talking rationality, common sense to people who are angry and want a visceral reaction. You're right, of course. No one can or will answer your questions. The response involves nuanced thought.

But we do know where they are. They are driving around in the toyota trucks built in texas with 50 cal machine guns that they got from us.

You have 2,000 people on a terrorist watch list in France. The first thing you do is send them back to the country of the origin. Second your close your borders to people from the Middle East. Third you dismantle all the mosques in France. This is the breeding place for all radicalism. Then you put a collation of troops on the ground. Just bombing will not get the job done. This is door to door, house to house fight. Enough boots on the ground from a collation of countries will do it.

Only thing you can do is make the death of these people as cruel and unusual as possible when you catch them.
Come up with the most painful, longest lasting death that the human mind can think of and maybe that will scare some of them away from attempting to pull off these crimes

So stupid to hear what extensive screening we are doing on the 10,000 we are letting in. What data do they even have for background checks in their own countries? These f*cks all have false id's yet we are sure we have screened them. Hah!
I personally am arming myself to the t. Looking the other way and trusting our government to take care of us is stupid. Get ready for terror coming to a theatre near you !

What do we do as in the U.S., what does France to or what does NATO do? Can you clarify the question?
