Support of local armed forces and rebels and no full scale war until there is a well-thought out post-war solution that doesn't try to piss off interest groups to an extent where intent to cause a civil war almost looks like a reasonable answer as to why things were done this way.
basically dont repeat iraq
We can bulldozer over them in 5 minutes if we want, this isn't the problem. Long term stability has nothing to do with quick intervention, it has everything to do with what happens after that. The problem is that means major financial aid and while everybody is on board with killemall nobody really is on the whole opening up the purse side, which means we are going to repeat this dance a few more times.

The second Gulf war was basically pointless and caused a big mess, yes.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to fix things now.
We should take those fuckers out. Islamic State is an apocalyptic death cult - Al-Qaeda was a fundamentalist group but it essentially had secular goals. IS literally wants to bring about the apocalypse.
