The title is sarcastic but given the mood after last week's shootings in San Bernardino the GOP is spouting war fever again. Since everyone is talking about bombing here or there, it would make most sense to bomb Kuwait and Qatar, who are actually funding ISIS. It would be rather embarrassing since Kuwait and Qatar are supposed to be our allies. With "friends" like these and all that stuff.
This is going to be the GOPer line 2016 "Obama is weak." The GOPers don't actually have a plan or even an idea. We might have more aggressive monitoring of the internet in order to crack down on those using the web to instigate violence and terror, and crack down on those who are using the web to instigate acts of terror. The dishonesty of the Bush II administration has created a climate of mistrust and confusion.
ISIS can be defeated but it's going to require intellect and the ability to understand complex realities. Macho posturing isn't the solution.
