Obama said what he had to say last Wed. But of course there are no real coalitions out there. I have not heard anyone willing to put troops on the ground. So if NATO countries are not sending troops nor are Arab countries, then it is impossible to destroy ISIS. It will be a prolonged war of attrition.
Couple of years ago I considered Spain to be best sporting nation in the world. They were the world champions in soccer, second best in basketball and had Rafael Nadal and many other great tennis players. But since then, Spain has lost badly in the World Cup, lost in the quarter final in basketball as host country, and Rafael Nadal is injured and no longer number one. So fortunes can come and go quickly.
U.S. wins world championship in basketball by destroying all competition. This is a team without James, Durant, Paul, Howard, Anthony, Love, Griffin. Any other country would not field a decent team without seven of their best players. But the U.S. won easily. It was felt that since the original Dream Team, the gap had closed significantly between international teams and the U.S. But with this tournament it seems the gap had widened again.
