The question is -- is that the real question.... or should it be can IS be ousted without the Iranians, Russians, and Turks? We need a change on the ground in leadership in theater - we need Grant to show up and wage a different war that focuses not on terrain but on the enemy forces and their destruction.

Ideally, we leave Syria alone and only deal with IS in Iraq. That would be a much cleaner issue to deal with. Syria really complicates things as their are no good guys, only varying level of bad guys there.
Militarily, we don't need the Iranians, Russians or Turks. But for success in the long run, you need local support and involvement. Its going to be a tough nut to crack.

Honestly we need to get out of Syria and leave the Russian's to that sector.
They have the will to fight the way that the terrorists understand.

I think we need a Smedly Butler about right now - someone who has the charisma that folks want to follow and who could give us an advantage we do not have right now.
