So either we pay for it now, or we pay for it later when it's become much larger, more powerful… and more expensive.
BTW, anyone with even a little understanding of what ISIS is all about, knows that the legitimacy of this so-called "caliphate", even under their wacked out version of 7th century Islam, totally depends on having territory to govern. In other words, no territory = no "caliphate". So the longer they keep control of a base of operations, the more it succeeds (and grows) as an international recruiting tool.
The same clown Europeans who are always moaning about the US warmongering in Iraq and Afghanistan suddenly want the US to flex it's muscles for them. The French and Germans should have backed thei ally in Iraq, right or wrong, thats what allies do. Dont come crying to daddy now that you've got problems in the same region we wanted to clean up. Tae some responsibility and start contributing to your own defense you pansies.

I'm in favor of non-intervention anywhere that doesn't represent a direct and imminent threat to the US.
