" fight Isis using their so called religion to work against them. Bomb the crap out of them using not bombs, but pamphlets distributed everywhere amongst them, saying that if any of Isis fighters were captured they would be castrated, and executed. None of the 79 virgins would then want them in the afterlife and they would always remain in limbo.
Also, the remains of suicide boomers would be gathered up and fed to the pigs. Apparently that would be absolutely abhorrent to them as the most horrible thing that could happen in the Islamic religion. That is the way they think."
He also suggested that their means of finance should be cut off by preventing them from buying oil from Turkey and on-selling it, which is their main source of income which supports them in getting arms and munitions.

I was quite amazed to hear that, but that is what he learned fighting Taleban and Al Quaeda in those countries.

1412300 2015-12-04 05:30:00 So what's your solution?? Give them all aid and hope that they will go away?? Unlikely, they'll just spread thru the middle east and Africa..

Quite simple, cut off their supplies. Realize that Turkey is not an Allies, that they are allowing supplies to go through, and profiting from oil sales. This will not stop the cells that are already outside Syria & Iraq. They are very difficult to locate and masquerade as normal residents until activated. USA created ISIS by removing Saddam Hussein. All because the Bush family wanted cheaper oil. Bombing Syria will not serve any purpose apart from converting locals to ISIS. If you are going to be treated as a terrorist you may as well be one.

America has never got even close to mastering foreign policy to the extent pioneered by the Brits, and ISIS is the result.

Sound thinking.

Here's some inspired statesmanship from the UK Left or if anyone objects to that tag, then at least give credit where it's due, a superb speech:
