American Patriot

How to deal with ISIS, many seem perplexed by this question. But there is a real and effective solution to this problem. It would involve no American boots on the ground and it would work if implemented correctly. It would involve continued and escalated air support from the US. There is a group in Iraq called the Kurds, they are our ally and their government is much like ours it is democratic. The Kurds have been successfully defending their territory in northern Iraq against ISIS and they have literally kicked their ass. But the Kurds want ISIS out of Iraq as they see them as a regional threat. What the Kurds need is state of the art weapons, including heavy weapons like tanks and armored personnel carriers as well as field artillery. The US could supply the Kurds with these weapons and provide all important air cover and strikes to assist their efforts. The Kurds are fierce fighters and they do not turn tail in combat they would defeat the ISIS forces if they had these resources and America could provide them with it. Their tiny enclave in northern Iraq has already requested this aid from the US and their ambassador has assured the US of victory against ISIS if they receive this aid. It is interesting in that they did not ask for money only the weapons they need to meet the ISIS threat. It is something to really consider and think seriously about, after all it is their country and this is about the only group there willing to actually defend their country against ISIS.
