Thanks for the link Jonathan.
Above you see a vid from Centcom showing US jets plinking targets in Iraq. Multi-million dollar jets are being worn out, pilots are being put at risk of torture or worse, all to drop bombs on 1/4 ton pickup trucks.
All this because ISIS murdered two journalist that defied US State Dept advice and knowingly, willingly and foolishly traveled to an active war zone.
Because of these journalists' life ending decision, an entire nation is headed to war. More people died in Chicago last night but these two are the reason why we go off to combat once again in the Middle East.
But if that isn't bad enough check this out from Janes...
By attacking ISIS in Syria, we're supporting Bashar al-Assad...even if its just a secondary effect.
By attacking ISIS in Syria and Iraq, we're strengthening and reinforcing...even its a secondary effect Hizbullah...which might allow them to eventually grow to rival ISIS in strength...they're already more powerful than AQ.
By attacking ISIS we're taking sides in what is essentially a Shia vs. Sunni war!
We might be priming a regional religious war...and no one is talking about it.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are restructuring their defences along the Lebanese border after recent intelligence evaluations indicated that the militant Shia group Hizbullah is planning to send hundreds of well-armed fighters into northern Israel in any future conflict....However, having gained considerable experience in co-ordinating ground assaults during its intervention in Syria, Hizbullah has added offensive cross-border capabilities to its war plans, according to senior Israeli military officials.The group has sent large numbers of fighters into Syria to support the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. These fighters have been integrated into the chain of command of the Syrian military and loyalist militias and have been involved in capturing and holding rebel-held territory.Do you get the force of connection here?
