Why should the US taxpayer foot the bill? These air support missions are costing $500 million or more a month and accelerating. Are the Gulf States offering to sell their oil at 1/2 the world price to the US for doing their dirty work? Fuck no!
Although you make a good point on a humanitarian basis, the US just spent and continues to spend $4 trillion to $6 trillion dollars in Iraq and Afghan war costs. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...a60_story.html
Vaporizing ISIS might be cost efficient but we will have to resort to conventional weapons and that might cost a few billion a month. One of Osama's plans was to cost Western civilization a great economic cost -- in that he succeeded.
