"This rag-tag army of 30,000 medieval butcher bastards is doing a pretty good job of avoiding complete destruction by billions of dollars worth of western might."

Well there's two reasons for that. The first is that many in the Sunni community regard IS as acceptable, and preferrable to either US occupation, or occupation by Shiite forces loyal to the crooked official Iraqi government. The second is that not only did the CIA train and arm many people now fighting for IS or allied factions, but having poured weapons into both Iraq, Syria and Libya, these weapons are now inevitably being captured and used by IS (if not actively sold to IS by bent officials).

Do the Yank government really think that occasional bombing and pouring in more weapons will help?
