Smart Gawker comment: As long as it is limited to protecting US personnel, this is not Iraq 2.0. However, actually neutralizing ISIS would require significant military action. So where do we go from here? If we leave them combat-capable, were just delaying the inevitable. If we go in and destroy them, regardless of what we do next, the tensions will likely spill over again after we leave, just like last time. Thats Iraq 2.0, and it can happen even if Obama is as reluctant about it as Bush was enthusiastic. We refuse to wash our hands of the region, but we refuse to resolve the conflict with force (i.e. destruction, presumably in favor of one party), so we cannot bring resolution to this conflict. gawker/as-long-as-it-is-limited-to-protecting-us-personnel-th-1617996391
