Re: Pitfalls of yet another U.S. war on Muslims

My qualm is not that ISIS are or are not a risk … I think we have established they are a huge risk, but they are more than that, they are already a problem for the Arabs. The risk to wayward Westerners who have gotten too close is not yet a problem - so long as other good people from the West - stay away. ISIS’s real intent is to gain power over the life blood of war … The oil … Doing something about ISIS will be more to do with securing oil rather than anything to do with risk to people …
ISIS are playing in to the hands of the dominant media … they are the gem of the propaganda game by choosing to infuriate the Western elite by slowing down the oil stream exiting Iraq they have raised a few concerns, so the media has been dispatched to pick up on some of their most heinous acts and used those to create a huge monster out of just another problem group - additionally ISIS believe they are making an impact and will continue doing those subhuman acts.
Trust me ISIS will not be allowed to get a foothold … too much at stake … however, the interim condition is beneficial on the media level - so the West are milking it … There was enough to take out ISIS early … but no one on the planet would have known about them … by letting them be for a while - ISIS gained and are gaining a bit of infamy - taking them out after a bit of a delay will be more satisfying for the West. Even then they can’t afford to crush them completely … they need them for instability purposes.
This is no conspiracy theory - it makes perfect military sense to destablise the region and keep it in that state. It also makes sense to never admit this to a public ear … People want to hear that their country is on moral high ground.
My personal plan would be this:
Stop giving ISIS a media voice
Walk in troops to the areas that need protecting - i.e. resources/ oil fields …
A few soldiers die - so be it - that is what they are there for …
Find the organised, sane and majority voice and give them legitimacy.
Walk out of the area.
This formula does not involve securing oil … but it is the one that will work for peace.
