ISIS threat against Military families and Peter Kassig

The latest news changed my opinion (Threat against our families and Veteran Kassig).

In my opinion... we should go all out... Every allied commando drop into Syria/Iraq to try to save Peter Kassig.

Followed by an all out immediate attack by all available forces (NATO and others).

Inform the local population that they have 72 hours to get out of the war zones.

Inform all NATO/other Allies that they either stand with us now or they will be no longer part of NATO... for example - Turkey - use their ground forces from the north. Israel and Iraq from the south.

Stop using precision bombs against ISIS strongholds... use the area bombs.

A1C Markus Frank, it feels good to think like that. I wish we could attack ISIL that way, but two things: (1) It would probably cost American lives, and our country is war-weary; and (2) That would result in a lot of (innocent) civilian casualties, and we can't do that.

Now, stepping up the pressure and putting more into the whole effort ... I'm all for that. Your idea about NATO allies is a very interesting one. Very interesting. It would take guts to do something like that.
