I say the same thing I said before the Bush loony toons invaded Iraq. It's easy to go in, but there's no easy out. Especially when your opponent is begging for a holy war to draw more followers to their side. The US is playing the terrorist's game since 2001.

Jeb Bush aside, who's as informed as a donkey's ass when it comes to foreign policy, ISIS has right now about 30.000 active followers. And that's taking the highest estimates. If the US wants to run their PR campaigns, they just have to continue as they do, or escalate.
