Opinion from the desk of the Editor:
I keep hearing pundits slap the prez on the back for putting together this “Coalition” of nations in the fight against ISIS…..some have even called it impressive. To that I say……..WTF?
If true the coalition has about 40 or 50 nations that have signed on for this new fight…..signed on to do what?
A couple of days ago we started the long anticipated war in Syria….and with those strikes 5 nations joined in……Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Bahrain and since then NOTHING!
It appears that this was the token attack and their part is through……so what will the remaining 35-45 nations have to do to prove their worth?
Obama said in a speech to the UN that “this fight is not America’s alone”…..so far about 90% of it is on America’s hands.
I am still waiting for the impressive part.
Correction: After I wrote this draft news came out that the latest attacks on ISIS the UAE and Saudis were involved in the action…….good news that someone else is helping with the heavy lifting….but I am still not very impressed……
How about you?
Word is the Saudis dropped most bombs. About time, but it is impressive that the Arabs are actually talking publicly about it. Also, about time…
My fave story was that Qatar was part of the mission but did not participate…..we they making drinks or what?
I agree about time….but confusing since they are the home of wahabbism the very root of extremism…interesting what did we have to promise them?
