>They will throw down arms so fast after that.
Are you fucking high? No amount of brutality on the part of an invading power has resulted in pacification, not from more than a damned continent away.
Learn some goddamn history, faggot, or some basic fucking psychology.
Cut the military budget, repurpose it to oil alternatives, and GET THE FUCK OUT. We have one thing we want in the entire shithole sandbox, and we STILL do not have it because we're playing patsy for the people who do.
Alternatively, sieze the fucking oilfields, set up a DMZ wide enough that you can't just ignite the oilfields with small arms fire, and tell all of the natives to fuck right off.
Options A and B are semi-viable. Option C has so far given us forty years of increasing hostilities and bloodshed, including on our own soil. "Moar torture" is literally failing to learn from the last forty years of our involvement, it's practically institutional retardation.
>ISIS would lose morale so fucking fast
>We have telegraphed every attack on them. They know their families are safe.
ISIS would gain manpower and FUNDING so fucking fast. They get it from us hitting their civilians accidentally with Hellfire missiles, What the fuck do you think some torture vid's going to do when you put it next to their children covered in napalm? No one's gonna give a shit, apart from it being more cemented in their minds that ISIS is fighting a holy cause against a great evil.
And since you seem a bit slow, I'll explain that under the Geneva conventions, incendiaries against civilians or in civilian areas are war crimes, specifically because of the propensity for and unpredictability of collateral damage. I'll also remind you that Obama's launched them into (at last count, could be more by now) seven separate predominantly-muslim nations in the Middle East, most of which WE ARE NOT AT WAR WITH.
And you fuckers wonder why something like ISIS got started.
