This seems to be the whole point that supporters of the U.S. going back in seem to be missing....even if we went back in we'd accomplish nothing. We can't defeat ISIS no matter what we do. Our multi-hundred billion dollar defense budgets are useless in this matter.
Found this excerpt in a piece in the New Statesman that describes the situation perfectly perfectly:
The piece basically explains why it's futile for us to get on the ground there.
Catholicnews.org has posted some graphic videos to apparently confirm the practice of placing the severed heads of children under 12 on stakes in a community park. Channeling their inner Tamerlane, no doubt.

Since late 2011 we have been committed to doing precisely that: nothing.
Why are you using the actions of a few radical extremists to paint all of Islam as violent, hell-bent on our destruction? I could give you tons of examples of Christians slaughtering non-Christians. Doesn't mean all Christians are bigoted murderers.
Show us these tons of examples from MODERN times please.
does that mean nothing to you??...do you have no morals??...where's you heart man??
How many American servicemen and women died for the people of Iraq already? Not another life for the people that failed to do anything to help themselves and often aided in the slaughter of our soldiers.

Heads on sticks is provacative behavior to cause fear in those that are up close and personal and outrage to those thousands of miles away. How about when Japan, and say Canada have had enough we match the number of their children being deployed, one for one.
How many more $ trillions in federal debt are you willing to rack up and pay off to engage in war?
Seems to me for every extremist eliminated, 100 more take his place.
