The war against ISIS in the Syrian town of Kobani is going badly. It's imperative that the town does not fall to ISIS. All means have to be utilized to stop them; Kobani must become their Waterloo! Measures must be taken to stop their advance at all costs.Use crater creating bombs on all major arteries entering and leaving Kobani. This will stop them in their present location and prevent their resupply of food,fuel and ordnance. Once the're bogged down, the coalition and the local militias can stop them and degrade their capability. It would be a severe blow to their bravado, temerity and morale!
