#1 In order to create targets, intelligence is needed. And without the presence of intelligence personnel and special forces on the ground, there is not sufficient information, it turns out, to stop the advance of IS.

Here's a time-tested tactic with minimal battlefield intelligence required. Orchestrate a Kurdish strategic withdrawl using 'phase lines' Bomb and kill everything that approaches the vacated phase lines in turn. Ideally the same phase lines [kill boxes] can be used repeatedly, somewhat like the billows of an accordion.

A battle strategy the Romans were pretty good at, too.

#4 IMO the real issue here is any likely Saudi-led GCC mil response to the new Shia stronghold in Yemen, or alternat the lack of same by the GCC which will induce one or more of its nervousy twitchy Sunni Member-States [read, QATAR] to ask for foreign or outside mil help agz the Shias = Houthi rebs from the ISIS/ISIL + Qaeda Boyz, etal.

WHAT IS GLOBALIST OBAMA ANDOR HIS POSSIBLY SIMIL GLOBALIST POTUS SUCCESSOR AFTER JAN. 2017 GOING TO DO THEN???
