IS Diminished in Iraq - War on Terror 2


Lets Get Real:

IF the US and its allies had enough special forces in Iraq then they could push back IS with the help of Iraqi Forces and the Kurds, but the possibility that IS leader has been killed can not be built on because of the lack of boots on the ground.   If the IS leader has been killed then there will be internal fights with IS as to who becomes the new leader, this would have been an excellent time for the West to take more of Iraq and Syria back, but on the moment strategy of the West does not help when you have this kind of luck and can not push it further, IF the US had troops on the ground in Syria and Iraq it could destroy IS in a few weeks, not in the years as expected.   IF you have lucky run, you push it further, the present strategy does not do that at the moment.
