The whole situation over there is pretty effed with ISIS... so long as we go into this with diplomacy in mind I would support aiding our allies in defending this threat. I do get concerned about how many recruits ISIS is managing to muster despite our bombing runs and I wonder if boots on the ground would cause more harm than good (it can be argued that this has been the case thus far in the middle east). Either way, I know we can't just keep banging our heads against the wall with air support if it is not effectively reducing their sphere of influence.
