I would argue it should be a policy to defeat ISIS where they are, where they exist and prevent them from coming into the United States.

We have to defeat ISIS. We have to make certain that we destroy them and that we push them back.

The war against terrorism is one we must win.

We have to face the fact that ISIS and its army of like-minded jihadists are determined to win that war and believe they are on the path to victory. They may well be right.

We are running out of time. We need a strategy to win in Iraq or an exit strategy to leave.

Hamas's strategy is resistance and survival. As long as they survive, this is a victory.

After spending the 1980s building up Saddam's Iraq as a counterweight to Iran, U.S. policy abruptly reversed course with his invasion of Kuwait and has since tried to cut him down to size. The policy is called 'containment,' but the question is, containment of what?

If your goal is to destroy ISIS, there needs to be a ground force. It could be American or foreign.

Despite what you hear in the news from the Obama administration and the military, our strategy of conducting infrequent airstrikes and re-taking pockets of Iraq and Syria terrain will only help us achieve short-lived tactical victories.
