Preach it, Brother Woody, preach it!

Scorched earth should be the order of the day. Find a way to reincarnate Blackjack Pershing and put him in charge. Maybe add Genghis Khan as his XO.

As to the OP, no, I don't want us to "invade" Iraq again. We have enough troubles here and now without escalating our troop involvement.

That said, war is Hell and ISIS/ISIL should have that point brought to their immediate and focused attention.
