So let the other forces in the ME like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, etc. deal with them. Or, for that matter...Iraq.
[when did everyone suddenly become sympathetic to lives of those in the ME?]
Saudi Arabia & Egypt don't want to get actively involved on the side of the US in a war, they have their own extremist factions that might erupt. We don't want Iran involved in Iraq and Iraq itself does not seem very capable maybe they will gain some strength over time.
I purchased a house, and several years later it needs a new roof & boiler. I'm not happy, but I'm an adult. I'll fix it. I was not happy when Bush & CONGRESS went to war over there, but it is what it is. If your guy does not stop ISIS they will set up a Caliphate & destabilize the entire region. It's not fair, it just is what it is. Whining about Bush is not going to fix this.....Obama is in danger of becoming the Neville Chamberlain of our time. And that's all on HIM now. The stupidity of the Left is staggering.
If you have not noticed the whole ME is not stabalized and has not been for awhile.
There is a lot of resistance from within those countries to show any semblance of cooperation with the US, they have their own problems. Several months ago we were at odds with Syria to say the lease but now we have a common enemy. I don't see other Arab countries supporting the US for obvious reasons.
You have reversed which country should be supporting other countries. When IS controls borders with Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, it won't be the U.S. in danger of ceasing to exist, or you and I who'll be refugees or have our heads cut off. If those nations won't get their hands dirty, too bad.
That's nonsense - I'm no fan of Obama, but I do know a lot about the Mid-East and read many foreign Media and Blogs. Obama has nothing to do with "creating" ISIL/ISIS/IS, unless you want to count allowing them to grow due to inaction in Syria and Iraq.
He sure didn't arm them - that would take an action of some sort and Team Obama spends all their time on trying to avoid actions and Leadership.
Who is ready to add Kurdistan to the list of countries in the world?
I am and it should have been 12 yrs ago.
