Drone strikes kill innocent people, period. That fact has been established. The U.S. military knows they kill innocent people when they use drones to bomb targets, and they continue the practice. This is knowingly and purposely killing innocent people.
It is time to send in the Marines! (not). This is none of our concern except for perhaps sympathy for the families.
The West has no part to play in the Arab world except to maintain the flow of oil.
Large parts of it have barely progressed beyond the medieval age and even in a supposedly sophisticated country such as Saudi Arabia women are beheaded in broad daylight on spurious grounds.
Without oil underneath them most of these people would still be living in tents in the desert.
They still have the morals and manners of peasants.
My old dad who fought in the Second World War in the Arabian Peninsula always told me never ever trust an Arab.
Any Arab.
I didn't believe him then but it's mighty hard not to today.
Jordan has a somewhat modern army and airforce. Maybe they will jump into the fight against ISIS.
King of Jordan has made it clear that ISIS is recruiting youth with sign on bonuses, local compensation the equivalent to middle class wages and promises of wives.

since bush couldn't be blamed, I had not heard of it.
Funny how people get all indignant over stuff like this and still support a government that has been proven to drone bomb innocent people (on purpose!), women, children, and other non-combatants. If you don't sympathize with murderers, don't sympathize with ANY of them. Duh.
I think ISIS is a group of the worst kind of scum, but unlike most people in this country, I don't give the U.S. government a pass simply because I live here. Murderers are murderers, and as long as you rely on murderers to get rid of murder, you are stupid.
(Lets here the excuses from the posters who are fine with cold-blooded murder as long as it benefits "their team". Let me guess, innocent people from Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, etc.. are "collateral damage", but innocent people from America, Great Britain, Israel, Jordan, etc... are "victims.")
And how do suggest we stop people who vow to kill us and our allies and are doing everything to prove they are serious. Hugs and kisses? You should be thanking your lucky stars that you live in a country who has people willing to fight for your freedom, even though your attitude is more like a spoiled 14 year old child.
I think there are far fewer "innocent" people being killed that you would like to imagine.

That's probably why the Mayor of London has called ISIS " literally wankers. "

This is a false dichotomy, a logical fallacy. The choice between hugs and kisses and killing over 1,000 people to hit 41 targets only exists in the mind of a simpleton. There is an infinitely huge grey area between those two things.

Nice, you are using personal insults rather than arguing with the actual point I made... that must make you right,.... right?
I have lost freedoms consistently for the last decade and a half... thank god someone is protecting my freedom though!

Based on what, your blind patriotism? I have provided links, these numbers are CONFIRMED. Yeah, I think a head smack IS appropriate.
Just dismissing confirmed numbers based on your feelings.... yeah, you should be taken seriously.
It's a shame so many innocents are getting slaughtered because of Obama's failed foreign policy.
