Some choices are: US soldiers sent to Yemen in a combat role to take out the ISIS; withdraw completely from that area and let them fight it out; continue drone strikes against ISIS targets; work with countries in the area for solutions (and rewarding the ones who work with USA and sanctioning those who do not).
Anymore choices?

YES...suggestion.....RECOGNIZE IT AS A PROBLEM !!!
That is what we just will not do, and we need to do that so conress and the WH can collectively deal with it. But we do not seem to even know what or where the problems are.
For P purposes, we had to hang a sign proclaiming this as a success story, and that presents a question as to why we did that a short 16 weeks ago, and if we were not aware the terrorists were taking over...why not.s
I agree with looking into the future but in order to do that correctly, you need to find out why we are where we are. We seem to be reluctant to use our power and the payoff for that is what is happening.
That does not mean...attack and destroy a country in anyway, or invade and conquer, so before you call hawk or whatever the name of the day is, I mean assert ourselves. The world seems to know that we will do nothing offensive...that we are politically stunted because THAT...politics....is seen to be driving what we do. I have no idea of what kind of power is needed or to what extent, but I am hoping that our country knows and will begin to exert it.
When we draw a line in the sand or are negotiating we need to insure that others know that we mean what we say (See Syria and Iran). Do we not know enough about these folks to know that only our power is recognized, otherwise we are simply infidels to be pushed around.
I am not blaming....using a new technique as we have was tried and it is not working. Not even recognizing the threat is a scary thing to me.
