The Kurds are probably one of our best allies in the region. They are very good fighters and if we supply them with the equipment they should get the job done. Make no mistake this new group ISIS is no JV unit. They are well organized, well funded, and well trained. They are a major threat and should they take complete control in the region the dynamics in the reagion are going to change and not for the good. This may require boots on the ground as we cannot let ISIS win this fight. The first approach is to make sure those that are fighting against ISIS get the equipment they need to wage the battle. If we ignore this threat we will be very sorry in the future. ISIS will strike the USA if they get a chance and they will have no problem with killing anyone, that includes women and children. One of the biggest threat to us currently is there is at least 100 Americans fighting with ISIS. These individuals will be very hard to identify if they decide to return to wage war inside the US. This is a very scary time in history. With the trouble in Iraq, Russia, and Israel one cannot wonder whether the end time may be just around the corner.

This about sums it up.
