They may have 30k fighters but I guarentee the vast majority of them will stop fighting once the top dogs are wiped out. That's why I firmly believe that sending special troops and using air strikes is the right way to go. Remove that Al-Baghdadi character who they worship and then some of the leaders and commanders below him and the rest will give up.
The rest might well give up but they'll have been sufficiently brainwashed to follow the next man singing the same song as soon as he emerges. There won't be a shortage of leaders who want to enjoy a high degree power before a US drone sends them to hell. Or alternatively until a US drone sends them to martyrdom.
