I wonder what would happen if we just pulled our troops out of the cities and placed them in the deserts between towns and at the borders. We are really good at finding people when there are no buildings to hide in or trees to hide under. We can randomly stop some cars or trucks. We can safely train the Iraqi police and troops far away from the cities.
Or there has to be other options, but when the American public isn't sure of what the administration is trying to accomplish because they won't come out and say it. (i.e. No Sharia law, no Islamic state, Iran stays out of it, the US gets cheap oil deals, they continue to price oil in dollars, no civil war, they buy things from our international companies, they won't be a threat to Israel, women can drive and not wear burkas,....)
