Re: Obama’s speech....
He didn’t say anything more than what is already known,...so this was likely just a PR speech...for whose benefit is questionable at best....few if any believe him, both here and abroad. Looks more to me like he’s stroking Muslim feathers more than anything else.
-”airstrikes with Iraqi forces as they go on offense.”
(no guarantees they’ll help...they ran before)
-”send additional 475 service members to Iraq....to support Iraqi and Kurdish forces with training, intelligence and equipment.”
(simply more money and support to Muslim nations ...might be also re-staffing the Embassasy with the people he took out when this started)
-”assistance to the Syrian opposition additional authorities and resources to train and equip these fighters.”
(still arming and funding terrorists who align with ISIS and ARE ISIS)
- “in two weeks, I will chair a meeting of the UN Security Council to mobilize the international community around this effort. “
( So he doesn’t have it yet...so why the speech )
-”providing humanitarian assistance civilians.... includes Sunni and Shia Muslims.”
(assisting Muslims again, they need to care for their own...this is simply spreading America’s wealth to Arab nations)
-”Kerry to promote unity across the Middle East and Europe to enlist more partners...especially Arab nations”
( they don’t have the Muslim nations support or he wouldn’t be doing this now...further Turkey has absolutely refused to be on board..not surprisingly.)
Think you nailed it Caww. Am reading differing reports (as usual) and looking for concrete info (as usual) regarding coalition. Those joining coalition are dealing with same as us. Crazy moslems. Media reporting verses what is (is) continues in its lacking and those that praised the zer0 speech have to insane. Why congress is lining up behind zer0 is curious. zer0 is not trusted by anyone (except dingy harry and pelousi) or trusted by any nation is the only fact clear that is clear. Why congress is lining up behind zer0 remains unclear.
