    Seriously though, how is that region ever going to stabilize if the moderates continue to flee?

    At some point the masses need to decide they've had enough of this bullshit and rise up. Until that day, the extremists will continue to rule. Instead we let them into our countries where they bring their religion and culture, and then eventually the extremists follow them here.

    This system is not working.

    There has to be a way of stabilizing the Middle East.

    It doesn't really work that way, ISIS or some other militia roles up to your house and says either join them or they will kill your family. Sure, you have a gun but there is 20 of them. Or ISIS is in your city, you stay hidden in your apartment building as best you can. The US, Syria, even Russia just keep dropping bombs trying to destroy the ISIS strongholds. You going to stay and stabilize or run like hell with your family?

    The vast majority of people leaving Syria are just looking for someplace safe for their families. They're going to Europe because middle eastern counties aren't helping much.

    Threaten to take the World Cup from Qatar unless they start taking refugees would be a good start.

    But my point is, if they all run, it will never change.

    Band together. Get fed up. Fight back.

    Example - the people of Mexico have gotten fed up with the cartels and got tired of the government not doing anything. They rose up and started murdering the bastards. Eventually the people will get tired of the bullshit and fight back. But if we let them run to the west, that won't happen.

    Sly holds all the cards. I had zero power anyway. I was just a puppet for the man.

    >>> Check and perhaps those that are doing the fight here.

    >>> Check

    >>> Check

    >>>Perhaps you are correct since we no longer have any Battleships.
    However, before you select the tactics, it is a good idea to realize you are in a war and with whom.

    So i dont know if this has been brought up but it seems trucks are even more deadly than assault rifles. What is the obama administration going to do about banning large heavy trucks?

    Driving large trucks from the United States to France is already banned by the Atlantic Ocean.

    Sadly the only way would be to completely destroy ISIS, which isn't done by simply dropping bombs. Sadly, I think the US government is happy with the instability of the Middle East, and their content to let ISIS grow. Why? Because a stronger force means a longer war which means more profit for the bank.

    We need to infiltrate ISIS.. We need some KGB level spying going so we know what's going on within the faction day to day. Slowly but surely take them down from the inside.

    That's impossible with the CIA and the spector of political intervention and congressional oversight. The reason why they KGB were so effective with plants and double agents like Kim Philby is they worked on a level of counterintelligence America couldn't fathom much less replicate. Somebody like James Angleton could be made useful now but wouldn't be allowed to due to bureaucratic incompetence and having to stay political transparent. You want to infiltrate a doomsday cult like ISIS you keep the puppet masters to a few key people. And the likelihood of infiltrating a doomsday cult like that at the highest level with its sheer fantasticm is unlikely any way. Americans have never been very effective at counterintelligence like the Russians are.

    it's not the truck, it's the capacity of the gas tank. ban large capacity gas tanks. if large trucks had a 5 gallon gas tank they'd bee so busy filling up they'd never hit people
