Over the weekend, the King of Jordan made a request for drone ownership and capability, while King Abdullah was here. Obama refused to give that country any of our drone arsenal, and the King left, frustrated and angry.
The Peshmerga and Kurdish fighting forces have beeb begging for arms and ammunition for months, but because Obama is concerned about "over reacting," (he call this "getting on your high hoorse"), he refuses to their requests, all the while pretending that he wants to ISIS to be Middle East problem with Middle Eastern solutions. It is the Peshmerga that defeated al Qaeda/ISIS in Kobani, just one week ago, on the border between Syria and Iraq. It was the Kurds who saved hundreds of their countrymen, trapped in the mountains, by the ISIS hordes. Obama refuses to grant their request, as well.
The burning death of the Jordanian pilot increased the emotional determination of much of the Middle Eastern Muslim population against ISIS. Obama has refused to take the lead in crafting a "native" force that would end the nightmare, arguing for "strategic patience" instead of using the emotions of the moment to gain an upper hand, as ISIS continues to slaughter men, women, and children.
Here at home, he called, what must be considered, an emergency meeting of Islamic sympathizers, to the White House during this week. He is being secretive as to the names of those in attendance, but it had to include CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, both radical Islamic groups as well as Mosque leadership and cabinet members sympathetic to the advance of Islam within this country. This, in part, is what he meant, when he spoke of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America."
Now you know . . . . a shame you were ignorant of this circumstance before now. Clearly, when Obama denies arms to those who fight in our stead, he is not serious about winning the war against ISIS.

Coalition airstrikes again pounded ISIS positions in Iraq and Syria on Saturday, including at least a dozen strikes on Mosul, where anti-ISIS forces have been trying to weaken targets ahead of an anticipated fight to wrest Iraq's second largest city from the terror group.
Obama is now taking credit for what Jordan and UAE is doing? Look, our generals are telling us, before these last two days, we have averaged only 7 sorties per day, and 70% of those were in the very north of Iraq. In Desert Storm, we averaged 1100 sorties per day, and in Operation Freedom, we averaged 700 sorties per day.
Deletewhen are you going to learn Obama is not the world's chief of police. Arab nations need to deal with this and they are. They will take out their own trash. You want us to end up where Bush put us ... in a horrible recession?
DeleteBush did not put us anywhere. That is silly. Was he complicit? Yes. But that was because Bus coh was and is "big government." His ideas as to the economy, were ALL Democrat ideas. Dems complained on Bush's spending, but under Obama, argue that "all government spending is stimulus." It was the Senate and House banking committees, both controlled by Dem leadership, that told us all that everything was fine . . . and they told us so in 2007 and, again, six weeks before the collapse in 2008. Affordable Housing was the cause of the recession and that was and is much more a Democrat fairy tale program for the working poor, than it was/is a GOP program.
DeleteAs to being the world's police, the fact of the matter is this: we are in a global economy. What happens in the Middle East has much to do with the health and welfare of our nation. More than this, a common sense of humanity requires us, the US, to be involved in a problem we helped create. It is your side of the aisle that is fond of quoting scripture, of late. Well, scripture teaches a "love requirement" for the world.
