        @MaxBoot my proposal to send a single QRF brigade of unicorns to Syria is just as politically and militarily feasible and more strategic.

        @peterwsinger Don't think serious analysts need to be bound by what's "politically feasible" now--politics can change.As in Iraq surge.

        @MaxBoot yeah, sorry, I forgot the line in Clausewutz about how war was NOT about politics.

        @peterwsinger I'd say politically easier to send 25K troops now to Iraq than it was in 2007.

        @MaxBoot Woe be it on the single Battalion QRF they propose to be stuck on the ground IN SYRIA. Let alone the global strategy side.

        @peterwsinger Recall early in Syria war proposals to create "liberated" enclaves. Still a possibility.

        @ChMadar I assume the title is a joke. Neither shows sign of having studied modern war. Or more accurately, learning from their study.

      @MaxBoot a "strategy" that isolates the tactical problem of ISIS is doomed to fail. ISIS is a symptom - not the problem @TheStudyofWar
