US Special forces did a rescue incursion that failed, what else would you right wing whack jobs have us do?
Shades of Jimmy Carter!
Here's what we should do: We should partner with the Kurds and anyone else who will help and utterly destroy ISIS/ISIL.
Turn about is fair play: What would you moonbats have us do? Sit back and watch while ISIS takes over all of the Sunni Arab world, and sends its robotic Western converts to infiltrate and terrorize the 'infidel' nations?

You've got that last part completely backwards. The 3 jihadis who just executed this journalist are BRITS. They were raised and radicalized in London, and went to Syria and elsewhere to do their thing.
Also, like al Qaeda before it, ISIS is not a static group of people you can exterminate. ISIS is an ideology, a perverse, twisted idea of Islam.
You can't bomb, capture, or kill an ideology, you can only hope that it's followers, present and future, come up with something better to do with their time. Extremism will always be around - I suspect that in a year or two we won't even be discussing ISIS, but some other group will have taken their place. The best thing we can do is help the region grow economically, so that people have hope, and support political stability that reflects what the people actually want.
We can identify and arrest the specific people who did this terrible crime, and we will. But they will be martyrs for their cause, it won't be a deterrent.
eeewww, you're starting to sound like G. W.
yuck, poo
