ISIS, according to Oliver North, is stretched thin over a large territory. Their command-and-control base is in Syria, and they're vulnerable to a concerted attack from the air. Or they would be if we had President willing to take the initiative and wipe them out, as they so richly deserve.
We were winning the Long War against worldwide Islamo-fascism, before this administration came into power. It is scary to imagine how much more we will lose over the next two and a half years—maybe the entire Middle East, including Israel?
Yes, it's 'political'.

You think we were winning before Obama? Man, I would hate to see losing. I would argue our invasion whipped up the fervor to a fever pitch. Do you remember terrorists running rampant through Iraq before Bush invaded?
As far as air attacks, you just can't bomb indiscriminately over a large land mass comprising multiple nations. Ask Laos how our air war on communism in SE Asia worked out for them. There are US bombs all over their country to this day.
