US/Allies should authorized use of greater military force against Isis.

Thank you for accepting, I look forward to seeing your side of the argument as well!Situation:Isis- Terrorist network that has significant ground forces and has influence on social media. Threatens peace in the Middle East and poses a international threat to the United States of America, Great Britain, France, and several more key world powers. Military Capabilities of ISIS. In the summer of 2014 there was a significant increase in the number of ISIS operatives, which until June was estimated at about 15,000.In recent months thousands of new operatives have enlisted in its ranks from Syria, Iraq and other countries. The rise in number is a result of ISIS’S military successes and the self declaration of the Islamic Caliphate, which made it more attractive. The increase in its revenues after it took over the infrastructure, especially the oil fields , also made it easier to recruit new operatives by promising them high salaries. In ITIC assessment today ISIS has about 25,000 operatives in Iraq and Syria, although there are slightly higher Western estimates. An estimated 12,000 are Syrian and Iraqi (their number and ration rose in the summer of 2014) and more than 13,000 are foreign fighters from the Arab-Muslim world and Western countries. Western estimates of ISIS operatives range from between 20,000 and 30,000. Financial Capabilities of ISIS. ISIS is the richest terrorist organization in the world. It took over most of the oil and gas fields (6-8 oilfields) in Syria and several oilfields in Iraq. Its main source of revenue is the profit it makes from marketing petroleum products, estimated at several million dollars a day. Other sources of revenue include various criminal activities, collecting taxes from local residents or demanding protection money, demanding head taxes from non-Muslims, donations from the rich and ransoming captives. Following the aerial attacks by the Americans and their allies which focused on ISIS’s oil refineries, its oil profits declined to about $1 million a day (Theguardian.com, October 30, 2014). Thus ISIS is an extraordinary example of a terrorist organization that acquired quasi-national financial capabilities though military success. The large sums of money flowing into its coffers every month liberate it from dependence on Al-Qaeda and donors in the Arab-Muslim world, and provide it with financial independence. That enables it to increase the number of its fighters, feeds the momentum of its military successes, allows it to establish alternative governmental systems in its self-declared Caliphate State and to wage an intensive battle for hearts and minds throughout the world to glorify its reputation and increases its capabilities. ISIS is fighting for more land day by day, and everyday taking in millions of dollars, with that money they can acquire more soldiers, more tanks, ammo, weapons, etc. The United States can 'bomb' Isis as much as they want but that will not defeat the terrorist threats. US International Threats Media "More than 20,000 foreigners have gone to fight for ISIS, the terror group that controls portions of Iraq and Syria, experts have told Congress. " 'Three teenage girls who set out from a Denver suburb apparently bound for Syria to join extremists were sent home to their parents after they were stopped in Germany, U.S. officials said. The teens -- two sisters of Somali descent and a friend whose family is Sudanese, according to a Denver community leader -- were detained when their flight landed in Frankfurt on Friday after the FBI flagged their passports.' ISIS encourages US citizens to commit terrorist attacks in our home country. They are constantly recruiting US citizens online to fight against their own homeland, and our allies homeland. ISIS beheads our people and the US does little more to stop this. What we should do. First thing is first, the United States should be cutting off their oil supply which allows them to be able to fight in the middle east. US should start off with increasing bombings. US should no longer trust Iraq to fight ISIS off for us, US military personal should be stationed in Iraq bases. A. Let me clarify. I am not suggesting a full out ground troops war. But Iraq Armed Forces have proved they are unable to fight Isis. If we could launch a large scale counter-attack on the ground from Iraq, that would open the door to begin securing Iraq; as well as encouraging other Allies to do the same. The fact is, if we just do minor bombings, doing minimal damage; we are allowing ISIS to continue growing. Bombings will not defeat ISIS at all! They will continue to grow, becoming more powerful, and more attractive. The country's moral is getting low, we need to take a stand to ISIS and show them that, if you dare to kill our people, our soldiers, then you will get a taste of the power of the United States Airforce, and Army. We should NEVER allow our people to be cruelly murdered at the hand of terrorists who seek to destroy us. Again, they will not, and can not be defeated by simple bombings; as well the US cannot do this alone. The US should encourage our allies to fight with more intensity. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,Nothing is going to get better.
