Telegraph: Reports " Air war on Isil 'could last years' says John Kerry..US secretary of state praises ground advances against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant but adds campaign will continue "for as long as it takes" "
Lets Get Real:
As the article notes these land victories against IS have been on the margins of IS control, when it comes to taking on the larger areas of Iraq and Syria it will require US and UK Special Forces and it might even need combat troops to take the towns, The West has to be careful that it gives IS to much time, lets recall IS has its own currency or is planning its own currency, it teaches the young the values of IS with brutal sick videos, it has aspects of a State and those roots can not be allowed to grow. Thus after the air was has done all it can do the Oval and its allies will have to have real talks on a ground plan for Syria and Iraq, the Oval wants to pass the problem the next US Administration, it might not have the time, if IS grows it could attack Jordan or Lebanon, allies of the West, Also as noted the US has to be kept an eye on a nuclear Iran, that is a major threat to Middle East security.
