#4 Ok, so we need six squadrons of B-52s, loaded to the gills with iron bombs, to clear a path to the interior of the city. One strike every six minutes until ISIS either croaks or surrenders.

Defense lines cannot survive an ARCLIGHT strike. The concussion alone would kill everyone on the receiving end. We just don't have the balls to do it, and no one else has the ability.

#5 OP, ISIS would just bring in all the children, ducks, and fluffy bunnies they could find as human shields.

Of course, using human shields is a way crime, but ISIS knows we are not allowed to attack if there are any civilians in the area.

#6 Classic trench warfare. Verdun. At least from Daesh side. And this is old news, known for many months.
