Ok here is what no one will tell you, ISIL is funded by these larger developed Middle Eastern Countries. The US will continue to be brash and ignorant and get involved in "skirmishes" every year, and waste resources. These developed Middle Eastern countries (Iran, Saudi, Jordan) will continue to grow their economies and defenses while America is concerned with the next small Islamic militant group. The U.S. needs to focus on rebuilding the middle class and our economy. Is ISIL a threat to U.S. Citizens? Yes. But ISIL is causing issues in the MIDDLE EAST, not EAST New Jersey. Saudi will have to step to the plate and do something otherwise ISIL will continue to be destructive right in their backyard. We have bigger issues than small Islamic militant groups.
