The Islamic state is now desperately using human shields to try and deter our attacks against them. This is a strategy that is doomed to failure for multiple reasons, the biggest being the civilians they are using aren't going to tolerate that shit forever, and will probably start resisting and escaping. The next biggest, America doesn't really show restraint when they want to bomb a target and civilians are present. I mean, we generally go out of our way to not blow up the nearby children's hospital, but the second we suspect Bin Laden's cousin is in there 7000 drones start swarming.
