When they take off their "Club ISIS" t-shirts, how do you know who they are
?
That's the problem with destroying any insurgent movement. As soon as they decide to just blend back in with the public, you won't get them all unless you're willing to be one of the bad guys by:
A) Turning the whole area into 1 sheet of glass (obviously killing a TON of innocent civilians
B) Operating as an iron fist dictator, killing anyone who's even under suspicion, threatening families, etc. And note, even this choice doesn't work in the long run because it just creates longer term hate.
I don't advocate the US or any of our allies nuking the whole area or becoming the tyrannical brutally oppressive dictator. The problem can not be solved in the short run, unless you are willing to be a big time bad guy.
