Zenon Evans Says the ISIS War Won’t End With Bullets or Bombs

The U.S. is a long way from resolving “Operation
Inherent Resolve”, the name given to our new and undeclared war in
Iraq and Syria. President Barack Obama says it’s
“going to be a long-term campaign. There are not quick fixes
involved. … As with any military effort, there will be days of
progress and there are going to be periods of setback.” We’re only
four months into what the president suggests could be
a three-year
fight to “degrade and destroy” the Islamic State
(ISIS).

The looming question is, how does war with a totalitarian
Jihadist group actually end successfully, rather than morph from
one military campaign into another ad infinitum? Zenon Evans spoke
to a range of policy analysts who say it’s going to take more than
just bullets and bombs. And it’s not going to be a simple “we
win, they lose” scenario.
