Well I am afraid thats the plan,but it might not go as smooth as some would like to think it will...The remains of ISIS will be a chilling nightmare for the rest of the world specially for the ones who once helped and encouraged them.

One good thing is all the Bad fish are in the same barrel.....why not wipe them out over there ?Rather than have to deal with them at home?
Obama has the power to do it.......order more air strikes and send in the drones......

Here's the areas ISIS controls. Where would you suggest bombing considering many innocents live all over?

It seems they can just blend in inside the U.S. and other countries much easier than Al Qaeda ever could. Some of these Europeans are educated White guys who speak perfect English. No more stereotyping what a so called "terrorist" looks like these days.

Unfortunately we will be dealing with them at home..........sooner than you think.........they're gonna commit their own brand of 9-11 before the year is out. Actually it will make 9-11 look like a picnic. They're going to stage coordinated attacks at the same time in big cities nationwide. Just a gut feeling. Thankfully, I'm most times wrong. Hopefully this time too.

McCain and Kastigar were inseparable in high school, according to numerous sources who knew both young men. Both loved basketball and were described as goofy and likeable. Kastigar reportedly would bring food to homeless people, McCain later worked with the disabled. While both had brushes with the law, neither stood out as troubled teens, friends who knew both said. “These kids went to good schools and they weren’t like living in the streets,” one high school classmate of both slain extremists told NBC News. “They were loving their moms, loving their friends." So how did their paths go so astray? The answer could lie in the troubling trend of homegrown radicals in the heartland of the U.S. Friends of McCain and Kastigar say both were fun – but “easily persuaded.” “In high school, you never seen one of those guys separated from one another,” one former classmate told NBC News, describing McCain as more of a follower to Kastigar’s leader. “They were always together. And both were the type to be persuaded.”
Kastigar’s mother, Julie Ann Boada, said after McCain’s death that both boys “were sort of searching." “I think both of them had a really strong desire to be needed and (be) of value,” Boada told the New York Daily News. Minnesota has the largest concentration of Somalis in the country has been been a hotbed of recruitment for Al-Shabaab. Al-Shabaab — a loosely affiliated band of militia insurgents in southern Somalia that has close ties to al Qaeda - was behind the deadly assault on the Westgate shopping complex in Kenya’s capital, slaughtering at least 67 people in a drawn-out siege.
Kastigar’s mother also told the Daily News that her son and McCain both "had quite a few friends in school who were Somali immigrants and an African American friend whose family was Muslim." Like McCain, Kastigar was a convert. Media reports from the time of Kastigar’s 2009 disappearance note that he played on a traveling basketball team with several Somalis – but spoke little of his descent into radical Islam. That path became crystal clear after Kastigar’s death in Mogadishu in September 2009 – about 10 months after he left Minnesota, according to numerous reports. The young man – who had come to be known as “Abdurahman the American” - was praised as one of the “Minnesotan martyrs” in an al-Shabaab recruiting video that was viewed by The Associated Press last year. In the video, titled “The Path to Paradise,” a smiling Kastigar is shown urging others to join the cause and take up arms in Somalia.

The media is making it seem like "everyone" is joining Isis. It's the new "IN" thing!
300 US citizens out of 350+ million? Not exactly a large percentile of the population, really, and considering many of them have ethnic roots to that part of the world, not surprising at all. I'm actually surprised it isn't more.
What we really need to be afraid of is the amount of Jihadis/isis perhaps already here in the West, willing to die for 72 virgins. It's much easier to kill us here than it is to kill us over there.
