I don’t think it’s going to stop at the ME, and the ISIS leaders have even promised as much. I think the idea that it’s “just” a sectarian conflict or “just” a regional or civil war is a comforting fantasy that Obama and the Dems want us to believe. Obama’s way of dealing with any advance of radical Islam is simply to shrug it off and tell us condescendingly that it’s just “stupid stuff,” kind of like children squabbling on the playground, and he, great lord and master and the only adult, knows that boys will be boys and we shouldn’t worry our little heads about it.
His minimizing or ignoring of crises may be simple stupidity, but I think it’s rather odd that every crisis he ignores results in weakening the US and advancing Islam.
O Drama is to blame for letting all the gains in Iraq just die when he pulled out in 2011. That said this is mostly Sectarian violence in the Sunni-Shiite sectors of Islam.
However, it won’t stay in Iraq, but as of today there are Iraqi’s joining the Iraqi Army and one place has been reclaimed....so we should watch and wait to see if those Generals learned enough to recover their losses. I don’t want us to lose any more soldiers after 4000 died to liberate these people at a cost of over a trillion dollars to rebuild schools, neighborhoods, and have a real election.
O Drama will no doubt do something again now that the Iraqis are picking up arms..and that might not be good for us. Britain’s SOS is offering intelligence to Iraqi army, and we can offer some drone or air support if we can get some of that intelligence to support their putting into practice what they were taught, but by no means is this just going away.
Turkey consulate lost 80 people to kidnapping by ISIL/ISIS yesterday....the march is on by terrorists to re instate much of Saddaam evil.
