Turkey isn’t an Arab country, nice going, West.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are doing as much as the US (if you count not dropping supplies into the laps of ISIS, even more) in the form of air support for the Peshmerga.

Syria is attacking the forces which would otherwise be attacking ISIS, or attacking at the same time as ISIS, which means Assad is fighting on the same side as ISIS, no matter how it is spun.

Iran, also not an Arab country (although its dictatorial oligarchy is is deeply connected to the Arabs), is doing nothing to fight ISIS, and this isn’t surprising, since they have a shared interest with the Turks — getting the Kurds killed fighting ISIS with too few arms.

Iraq, a mostly Arab pseudostate, not only has been giving ground, its army has abandoned heavy weapons to ISIS as it has turned tail and run from ISIS; an Iraqi leader claims that no one should be intervening from outside the country to defeat ISIS. Does that sound like an anti-ISIS position?

And BTW, the agitation for Neo-Soviet and pro-mullahacracy talking points on FR sickens me.
