If you were the President of the United States how would you deal with ISIS?

Bombs. Lost of them. Guided, unguided, incendiary, non-incendiary.. drop it all.

To the members of ISIS this is President Eashman.

My message to you is simple. I will not intervene in your so called civil war, however, as soon as you step foot on the grounds of the US Embassy in Baghdad, I will wipe you off the face of the earth. Thank you and God Bless the United States of America

I say let 'em kill each other all they want, but the minute they look like they want to think about touching the American Embassy......bombs away!

Hey ISIS you want to terrorize innocent people who just want to live their life and feed their families, well I have some folk that want to have a word with you!
USASOC, 1st,5th,7th,3rd,10th,19th20th Group, 2nd and 3rd Ranger Bat , 82nd AB, 101st AB and 10th Mtn , SEAL Teams 1-6, CCT's, PJ's, A10's, F-22's....

ROE - Call for a ride when you have neutralized the problem: no tied hands, Move on and Destroy the enemy. God Bless America.

I lost my dearest brother in that.............place. 11 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. We paid a very high price in blood, sweat, and tears over the years fighting for that turf and giving it back to the Iraqi people. It is a shame if it falls to a different group of jackholes, but it doesn't mean my brother died for nothing. He gave his life for Iraq to have a chance to forge their own destiny. If they prefer to have their entire army run away and cower at the first sign of trouble, what will us going back again change?

It is not an available option to declare war on a non-nation state. The President can say something akin to it, but the Congress has to deal state to state when declaring war, because it has diplomatic requirements...thus the matter of declaring it before we just start bombing someone. First we would have to recognize ISIS as a sovereign state and then we'd have to attack it. If we took the first step it would bolster that entity's standing in the international community of miscreants, and would cause all sorts of other problems with the states that they actually reside in (since we will be attacking inside of their territorial borders). Not a simple issue. Until it is truly a state and recognized as such, we can't take it to war. We can fight, but we can't declare war. That sort of change to the way we do business would allow us to wage war in the future against any sort of non-state actor...like the KKK or the black-panther party...they aren't a state, but at some point they may become a threat the US doesn't want to deal with anymore. Slippery slope argument, but I'll lay it out there.

No this validates ISIS in my opinion.

To many mindless, spineless, bleeding heart liberals to properly eradicate these scumbag radical jihadist.

King for a day, huh?
Considering that the CINC is pretty much doing what ever he pleases without input from the electorate:
1) I would remove as many non-combatants as humanly possible from the field to safer countries.
2) I would Nuke their ass to oblivion with low yield tactical weapons.
3) I would follow up with small unit SpecOps to eliminate or try for war crimes any, anywhere in the world who managed to escape #2
4) I would institute a massive PR campaign to point out that this would be our sole future response to this type of evil unleased upon the innocent.
5) I would turn off the volume on any world, third party, backlash and whining.
6) I'd sit back and have a beer.

He does love using the Military Intelligence and Special Forces community. Which I love. I suspect he will continue in that line and I think that is a great Idea. I would probably be a little more conservative and less likely to put our guys in any danger. I would probably do the drones with hellfires that seems like an effective technique to me.
