And pissing off powerful Arab militaries won't help them much either. It's tough to mount offensives when you can't move a convoy out in the open without getting cratered. Traveling WAYYYY out in the open is pretty much the only way to get from city to city in that region.

What's Obama supposed to do? Send Johnny from Iowa to die? Not that Isis isn't a threat to the homeland sometime in the future, but 100 times more people die every day from the flu.

It's easy to not get killed by ISIS. Don't go to the middle east.
