Somewhere between 5 and 30% of those currently under arms is my guesstimate. The problem I see is with killing them without killing too many non-combatants. Bombing is not really accurate enough and will piss off enough people that jihadist recruitment still works. The main task is identifying people and locations where to take them out.

One of the things I cannot understand is that there seems to be no effort to gather information maps from refugees (which might also be useful to vet/check the accuracy of info given about their origin). Also build a database of pictures and origin locations, verify with other refugees, do that as a routine task each week - might make it harder for jihadists to enter that way or at least identify clustered false info to map out such teams. No need to give out location in guest land, so safety should be provided if somebody looking for their neighbors with bad intentions finds those pics. Giving out false/fabricated info should be reason to send back immediately - clauses giving safe harbour on humanitarian grounds in international law are stupid and should be circumvented with the ease Dublin was lifted (No EU resolution, no new agreement, no vote in german parliament...)

Another option could be to have training camps in Turkey, where standard of living is much higher than in other refugee camps, trying to filter down there for possible resistance troops.

Which is the reason offered by some to segregate the area into shiite, sunnite, kurdic and jasidic territories/states, even seeing the danger that such states could become hotbeds for terrorist training camps and activities within a few years. At least then you could smash those then as they did not police their own population. Having oil distributed unevenly in the area does not help in such thought experiments ;-)
