Turkish government says it will not allow a US-led military coalition to use its air bases in order to launch attacks on IS terrorists’ hideouts in neighboring Iraq and Syria.

Obama's incompetence extends to, well, anything and everything.

I'm all for taking out ISIS, but I'm beginning to think we may just have to let the problem fester until we get a new President.

This idiot can't tie his shows, much less run a country. I hope the drones who elected a slogan are satisfied with their handiwork.

It's afraid that being part of the group which attacks ISIS will make it a target since there are now millions of refugees from Syria and Iraq in Turkey some of whom, no doubt, support Islamic extremism. That isn't to say Turkey wouldn't be happy if ISIS is gone but basically they're trying to free ride and hope others will take care of the problem while they won't have to risk anything.

Oh, and there is also the issue of the 40 odd hostages ISIS is holding from when it over ran the Turkish consulate in Iraqi Kurdistan. If Turkey agreed then some or all of those hostages would be executed. Sadly, this defacto means Turkey is paying a ransom to the terrorists in the form of policy decisions (I.E. not taking part).

We SHOULD quit wasting American lives and money fighting for the people of the Middle East. If they want ISIS gone, they can do the fighting and dying. Stopping ISIS's actions in the ME is not worth an American life.

We created ISIS.
We trained them in Jordon and gave them weapons to fight and overthrow Assad.

Let's all take a trip down memory lane. When W. invaded Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing was thirty countries. Despite that fact, liberals soiled their panties and claimed Wild West George W. Bush was "going it alone" in the Middle East.

My guess is we won't hear anything of the sort from our hypocritical and intellectually dishonest friends on the left.
David Cameron said today, that British air strikes are not off the table, and that the other comment, which was made by someone else, was on regards to last year. No one has asked Germany to participate in air strikes.

When are all of you going to wake up and realize you are all being played for as dumbasses. My party this, my party that. You are all so brainwashed you can't even see what is really going on around you.

We have one party, The War Party. It does not take a lot of thinking to realize that. It's a big business America is operating. Get away from the MSM and you will start to see the truth. I did years ago and it's so obvious what is happening with "The War on Terror". They are chasing a planted boogieman.

The US is also not in any financial condition to go back to war.

The US people should also be livid.

I want Congress to impose a War Tax to pay for this instead of shrugging and adding to the debt. Maybe then we'll see how the people really feel.
