Mark Pomerleau, The Hill: Can the US really destroy terrorist groups like ISIS?
The stated goal of Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led global anti-Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) coalition, is to "degrade and destroy" the organization. However, some have taken issue with this policy as unrealistic, even questioning the feasibility of destroying the group altogether. This debate merits a wider reflection as to other U.S. battles with terrorism and whether terrorist groups can be fully destroyed at all.
WNU Editor: A country like the U.S. .... unless it commits the entire country to a massive war effort and an occupation that will probably last for decades .... will not be able to defeat ISIS by itself. This is a war where our allies and a good part of the Middle Eastern population must be committed to its destruction .... but in view of the deepening Sunni - Shiite divide and the growth of sectarianism .... this does not look like it is going to happen any-time in the near future.

With a Hashtag "Bring back our Girls"

Actually come to think of it Michelle did do more than Barack.
