Now that the war against ISIS now involves both Iraq and Syria I decided to post a new thread so that the same arguments don't occur in both threads.
This thread is about the war between a coalition led by the United States against the terror group ISIL (also known as Daesh, ISIS and IS).
Some of the latest information:

So it looks like we will have a drone base in Iraqi Kurdistan. And the plan in Iraq and Syria will be multi-faceted involving local troops and US airstrikes.
What do you think of the situation in Iraq and Syria? What is your opinion of the President's plan?
