Hey, Mr. President, I have a strategy for you that would bring peace to the Mid East and lessen fears throughout the world. Please get the world leaders working on it.
It’s simple, really. All major nations are skilled in spying and sabotage. Put those skills to work by creating a huge rift between ISIS/ISIL and the rest of Al- Qaeda. Convince each that the other is evil and that God wants them extinguished. Then stand back and let them destroy each other.
Oh, and, one more thing, Mr. President–just talk to the world leaders about this; do NOT try to get Congressional approval or the process will take ten years.
