#3 I still say the proper solution is line up howitzers hub to hub in a line 500m across, and walk the fire in straight line followed 1km behind by D9's clearing the ground. Bisect the city N/S then E/W. Then do the same in each quadrant. Give you a giant cleared grid. any of the grid sqares falls to isis, it gets mined completely around, and reduced by artillery. Eventually the city is either pacified, or erased. Either way, no great loss of anything of value.

#4 Bonus is a lot of nice 500m wide patrol roads. Or free-fire zones if you want to do it that way.

#5 None of the above. Let the various bastards fight it out until one side is is bleed white. If any one one of em shows danger to the U.S. , nuke the fuck out of them.
