Dean Obeidallah, Daily Beast: It's Time to Send in the Troops to Kick ISIS’s Ass
I don’t want to sound like a neocon, and troops aren’t the only answer. But enough’s enough. People need help that only we can provide.
ISIS is truly winning. It’s that simple. And unless we change our approach, they will continue to take more land, grow in recruits, and slaughter more people, especially Muslims, on a daily basis.
That’s not just my sentiment, but also the view of Laith Alkhouri, a NBC News counterterrorism expert and director of research and analysis for the Middle East at Flashpoint. As Alkhouri noted on my SiriusXM radio show, this past Saturday, if you think ISIS is just a run-of-the-mill terrorist group that can be lumped in with Al Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, etc., then you have no idea what’s going on.
“ISIS is not a terrorist group, it’s a terrorist army that is building a nation,” Alkhouri explained, adding, “They have intelligent units, surveillance drones, a secret service, and they even provide social services.”
