Are the Arabs just afraid or unable to fight, or do they secretly agree with the ISIS agenda? (Iran, Israeli)

Of course the Arab nations are willing to fight... nod, nod, wink, wink...get it? There's a big difference between 'offering' to help, and actually putting your troops against ISIS.
The king of Jordan supports striking ISIS, perhaps because the ISIS leaders want to 'slaughter' him, but no boots for you!
"King Abdullah has made clear that Jordan will not put boots on the ground in Iraq and Syria" http://english.alarabiya.net/en/view...-alliance.html
Lately it seems that if one is not on an ISIS "Slaughter List" then you're nobody. "B" movie stars are screaming at their agents to get them on that list.

Well, in that regard America needn't worry - they are already at the top of the list. But why is everyone always dissing the French?
"If you can kill a disbelieving American or European – especially the spiteful and filthy French – or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever … including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be,”
Our problem is that all those oil-rich countries beg for our help and since our oil-heavy economy relies so much on their products, we're put between a rock and a hard place. Allow the Middle East to destabilize because of groups like ISIL and watch oil prices shoot through the roof or engage in military conflict and spawn more terror groups. It's a double-edged sword that, in my opinion, is only best solved by relinquishing our dependency on foreign oil.
I fear it's bloodbath time at this point, no matter what the US does.
There's a southern rock song whose refrain goes "shoulda picked our own damn cotton". The dream of effortless riches dies hard - and, all too often, the people who didn't benefit die with it.
maybe we ought to start charging for our services.
you want us to fight your enemies? that'll cost you $10M a day.
I agree with you, very good idea, then we need to charge Israel triple that amount, we've been fighting for them for 60 years with any hope for success in the future.
Where is the all mighty ISIL getting funding from? And why not stop any and ALL sources funding them?
Reportedly, they are pulling in $1-6 million a day, every day. They are selling deeply discounted Syrian oil along the Turkish border and then there are " angel donors" though to be wealthy Arabs, potentially from Qatar and Kuwait.
According to the Jordanian King, they are paying foreign fighters about $1200 /month which is the equivalent an upper middle class wage and promising them girls/wives.
many people want to get next to you here.
many people there want to get next to you.
people often want to get next to you for other reasons than they like you.
landlords employers and men who want to get married should think really hard about these issues.
The Arabs states are begging for the US to send in troops to fight ISIS. Well, what the hell are THEY doing? It's in their own damn backyard! Yes, I do want US troops on the ground because they are the only ones who seem to have the courage to fight, with the exception of the Kurds (men and women). The Christians would sure as hell fight, but they are not allowed to possess weapons apparently.
Turkey wants us to fight against Assad, not ISIS. They don't even want to let us use their airbases. And why isn't ISIS attacking Turkey... because they are on the same side.

All these countries are US allies so where is the problem ? it should be an easy fix ?
