Only a few months in office, and everything is falling apart. Tump is interested only in talking about himself, the media, and about how unfairly others treat him.

US 'absent' from global leadership role, Iraq says - CNN.com

The United States has no clear plan for dealing with the various crises it faces in the Middle East, according to one of the top US allies in the fight against ISIS.

The Iraqi Vice President, Ayad Allawi, said the US was "absent" from its traditional role in maintaining global stability.

"There is a vacuum in the overall leadership in the world," Allawi told CNN's Christiane Amanpour, in an interview airing Friday. "The Americans need to ... get back to their role as an international power, an important international power."

"To me, there is no international strategy -- no strategy for the alliances that are fighting and have helped us in this part of the fight."

Great news, thanks for reporting.

It's far past time for us to let these fools around the world blow themselves up and that includes Europe.

With all due respect, there is nothing "IF" about it

He should shut his piehole about America. He needs to realize that Muslims need to do more. Muslims boots on the ground, not American boots on the ground. That is how HE should do it.

Trump and Syria is another topic.

Pulling out would be one thing, but we are still there, and spending money, but without any plan, goal or direction, so I am not sure why its good news.

Iraqis have boots on the ground, and have taken back almost all of their country from ISIS. They are the ones taking all the casualties, so give them some credit.

But how are we giving up our role in the world if we're still involving ourselves in someone else's civil war? Personally, I'd be very happy if Allawi was correct, I just don't see it happening.

I said, they should do MORE and he should shut his mouth about America.

if that means I did not give them credit, then so be it.
