Clinton v Trump: Does either have a plan to beat ISIL?


Both US presidential nominees agree that the group is a threat, but does either have a viable strategy to defeat it?


Both US presidential nominees agree that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) armed group poses a threat to America and the world, but disagree on how to beat it. 
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump blames his rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton, and President Barack Obama for the rise of ISIL. He's also criticised NATO for not doing enough to fight "terrorism".
So far, Trump has not outlined a detailed plan to fight ISIL.
But he has said that he's willing to work with Russia in Syria, rather than alienate it.
Clinton supports intensifying air strikes on the group's fighters, and going after its leaders.
She says fighting in Syria and Iraq has contributed to ISIL's spread, and insists that resolving those conflicts is key to beating the group.
