ISIL is contained, being defeated, destroyed.

We can't occupy Iraq and Syria! We don't want to! Congress won't even authorize it!

There are innocent civilians everywhere ISIL is. We can't carpet bomb to oblivion!

Our civil liberties and values make it difficult to stop every homegrown terrorist, especially the self-radicalized.

The argument we are faced with is no matter what we do and accomplish, the terrorist has to get it right just once!

We can look at that as a failure, or we can do something about it!
