1. What you are suggesting is disgusting and it’s a war crime, the fact that other countries do it doesn’t make it right.

2. You’re wrong, the US and Iraq have gained a huge amount of territory back from ISIS and are going to recapture Mosul shortly

Your chance of being killed in a terror attack is minuscule, more US citizens were killed by lightning than by terror attacks in 2015

The entire idea that the war against ISIS is in-effective is a blatant lie from the Trump camp, it is being won, and it’s being won without having to resort to war crimes. Sorry if that doesn’t satisfy your warped sense of revenge.
