Just out of curiosity what more should be done?
They are not a country, so economic sanctions will be ineffective.
The US has, as of about a month ago, ran over 6,300 bombing runs on Daesh known supply routes and bases (news article in the paper the other day indicated we are scrambling for more bombs because we are exhausting our supplies). We have been using targeted drone strikes (which the media vilifies the President for, as if they are worse than bombings and/or soldiers when it comes to civilian casualties).
Our allies combined have only attributed about a quarter (1/4) of that amount.
That the President is trying to keep our soldiers, for the most part, out of the conflict is, in my opinion, a good idea. Of course that the US contributes to these things in the first place is just as stupid, but a policy we have followed for decades (centuries?)
