No..that's not going to happen. What (I feel) should happen is Saudi Arabia get up off of their asses and start joining other countries in the region on this (another) holy war. If they need SOME help...ok. Doing the whole thing for them?. Hell no.

The only way to defeat ISIS is with other Muslim Countries doing the job. Muslim against Muslim will not add to ISIS ranks.

It's time to realize we can do no good in the region, no matter what our intent, and up to this time our intent has not been honorable or good. The best thing we can do is close all bases and remove all military presence in the region.

While we are at it we should close all bases in the EU also, their GDP is higher than that of the US, let them defend themselves, bring our troops home and let their salaries contribute to the GDP of the US.

That doesn't mean we need to go in there and make it worse. It was the use of military force that created the problem. I would not look to military force for the solution. I'd like to see the U.S. involved in an effort toward a non-violent solution.

Halliburton, and all the other war profiteers, the ever-name-changing Blackwater/Academi, etc.

I am so thankful we have Bernie. He's the real deal.
