So let me get this straight -- so far we have the following countries actively participating in airstrikes or some other form of military action:

1. USA
2. Iraq?
3. Jordan
4. Egypt
5. France

President Obama has officially submitted a request to Congress for combat troops on the ground against ISIS. How long will it be until there's a full-blown worldwide campaign against ISIS?

I, for one, would 100% support it and I don't see how anyone in their right mind could be against it. We must eliminate the threat they pose before it grows larger and hits us on our shores in a major way (such as an attack on a 9/11 scale).

Like all coalitions, they wait until the US goes in before they do. Daddy has to show the kids how it is done.

There will have to be something massive done by ISIL that triggers the world to act. Right now they're a coordinated insurgent organization, but they don't exactly have a territory and they things they do don't call for world wide outrage yet.

I have little faith in Jordan or Egypt to sustain an offensive campaign against ISIS. Call me a doubting Thomas if you will.

Can you explain the benefit of troops on the ground to me?

For that to be effective we need to know where isis is, there need to be large numbers of isis members identifiable so that we may engage.

Otherwise we have troops getting sneak attacked while running convoys to nowhere with ieds and random attacks then disappearing again.

Airstrikes and Intel will work just fine for now

There is already 20+ nations in the "coalition" but none of them do anything. They let the US pay for it and carry it out. Jordan is active now since they killed their pilot. This is a US action, as usual.

How is it that every time a country is provoked into entering into war against ISIS, they seem to already know where their training facilities and weapon caches are? So we all have the intel, but are sitting around on our dicks?

Be honest, if they just shot guys instead of burning and beheading them, would you be supporting such action?

We could end this in a day if we used nuclear weapons but nobody in Washington has the balls to do it.

All of these countries that are doing this seem to have ignored radical islam for a while thinking it was either not an issue, too sensitive of an issue, or someone else's issue. Now those savages are attacking their people in their countries, and executing prisoners from their countries. I would imagine that they will have enough sooner than later. People will only put up with so much before a spark is lit.
