#1 The problem is that the default condition of tribal areas infested with islam is to revert to a caliphate.

You cannot bomb them out of it, it's the lowest default state.

#2 #1 having been said, the opportunity is that ISIS claims it is a caliphate, controls territory, recruits new members worldwide to move to the territory, collects taxes and in many respects is a nation-state (whether or not other nation-states have extended recognition). This is not true for proto-caliphates like Pakistan. ISIS has also declared war on us.

#3 ISIS recruits jihadis from other countries? Big deal. The only threat they pose to us is when we allow people from those countries into our country. You attack ISIS in Iraq and Syria and they will do what Arabs always do, scatter and regroup later. You attack them in this country, shoot them and arrest them and send them back to their cat boxes and the problem is solved. But you are frustrated because we have a president who won't fight them at all, here or there, probably sympathizes with them.

#4 My guess is Putin understand the Caliphate. Russia has been dealing with Muslims since Stalin tranported the population of Chechnya to the middle of nowhere Kazhikstan. Putin just wants to finish off the rebels first because he won't have the same lee-way afterwards.
