US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet foreign ministers from around the world in Paris on Monday to discuss how to defeat Islamic State (IS) militants.
French President Francois Hollande said the beheading of a British aid worker showed the world must act against IS.
About 40 countries, including 10 Arab states, have signed up to a coalition to help fight IS in Iraq and Syria.
Several Arab countries have offered to take part in air strikes on IS fighters in Iraq, US officials say.
Mr Kerry says he is "extremely encouraged" by promises of military assistance to tackle the militant group.
He spoke after a whirlwind tour of the Middle East to try to drum up support for a plan of action unveiled by US President Barack Obama last week.

About 40 countries, including 10 Arab states, have signed up to a coalition to help fight IS in Iraq and Syria. And who will put boots on the ground?
Yeah. Australia.
That's it.

He isn’t known as John “French” Kerry for nothing.

Excellent, those professional diplomats should have this little issue wrapped up in no time at all!
Well, except for the part about nobody wanting to participate militarily. And the part about the new President of Iraq not wanting anybody's help. And the part about 0bama stating there won't be any boots on the ground, but perhaps we can issue the troops flip-flops. Other than that, it will be Nobel Peace Prizes for everyone!

Has a familiar ring to it.

Do they know he was in Vietnam?

Does John know who and what ISIS is?
To: BenLurkin
There ya go! That’s the ticket! TALKS. Democrats are REAL good at talkin’. Mostly lyin’, but talkin’.
Surely their talk will resolve all the beheadings, murders, rapes, kidnappings, and thefts.
John Kerry, OUR hero with a cape.

Yeah. Just us. I wish I could dig up the article of a German MP after 9/11 who said, basically, let the US shed their blood and treasure.

Is Kerry going to talks at Paris with IS or ISIS or ISIL or any of the Muslim head choppers? Who’s going to lead? Do the EU foreign ministers have a plan? I guarantee Kerry doesn’t. Kerry doesn’t know what planet he is on.
To: RushIsMyTeddyBear
I can't tell either, but that sure looks like Jimi Hendrix in the back on the left.
