An unnamed senior Gulf official told The Telegraph There is simply no strategic approach, that western powers have a lack of coordination in selecting targets, and there is no overall plan for defeating ISIL. Americas Middle East allies are getting frustrated that Western leaders, Obama and David Cameron, arent showing leadership in the fight against ISIS.
Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Gulf states are upset that they are being blocked by the USaka State Departmentfrom attacking legitimate military targets. The coalition members believe that team Obama does not have clear purpose for conducting a war against ISIS. The Arab countries are preparing to fight for their lives while Obama deals with his perceived dangers to world peace: American Conservatives and Israel.
While the Middle East allies are losing patience with the West for its lack of resolve, ISIS is gaining territory using captured American made equipment abandoned by the Iraqi Army. The Gulf States release the fact that they no longer have time to wait for Obama to make up his mind. They must therefore take matters into their own hands. It will be detrimental to the West when Arab counties later deny the use of forward operating bases, air and shipping routes into Iraq. America will have to deal with the fallout after Obama is out of office and wealthy oil countries are feeling betrayed after having donated millions to Obamas library and the Clintons slush fund.
The only people taking the fight to the Islamic State Jihadists on a consistent basis are the Kurds. They could use modern and heavy weapons to maintain the fight. Arab countries are telling Obama the Kurds need direct support from them and from the West. The Kurds can use modern weapons, radios, vehicles to offset the equipment being used...

Zero’s actions are not surprising when you consider that he’s not on the side of the Kurds.
This is one of those conundrums.
I don’t like our idiot savant but, I constantly rail against countries who have more to lose than we do by not engaging in these wars or skirmishes themselves.
We have been paternalistic for far too many years, with Europe and the Middle East taking advantage of us and using America as an outsourced army.
They should be taking of Shiite themselves.
So, if Middle East Nations want to finally put ISIL down like the rabid dogs they are, then fine by me, even if they “lose patience” with the United States and it’s about time they did and grow up.
a) Weakens America/AmericansThere are NO counter examples.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
Plus the clown needs to understand the difference between the terms “Tactical” and Strategic.”
Arming the Kurds is not a Strategic move......
Obama’s “Strategic” move would be to tell the Sec. of Def. “Beat ISIS into non existence in the next 6 mos..”
His next move would be to stand back and watch it happen.
He won’t do that because he’s not so secretly on ISIS’ side.
traitorous B’tard!
Aye, but after Turkey stabbed us in the back with a last-minute denial of transit of American troops into Iraq, we should have rewarded them by dividing Iraq along ethnic lines and putting a newly minted Kurdistan on their border.
F me?
F YOU!!!
It’s obvious this traitor will sacrifice the country that elected him to help his true love.
And then they invade Kurdistan and we need to decide if we want to help Kurdistan and get into a war against Turkey or watch them fall. The good news now is that the Kurds have stabilized the region pretty well and can probably beat Turkey on their own.
“There Is Simply No Strategic Approach, Obama Blocks Military Aid To the Kurds.:
No surprise here as the Kurds have the best chance to whip Obama’s comrades.....ISIS.
Little pissant countries fighting each other in the middle east? The horror!
Let Turkey’s native Kurd population resist them invading the newly minted Kurdistan.
That would be a bad thing. Right now the Kurds are the closest thing to a functioning Muslim group in the middle east. They aren’t nuts, they aren’t into car bombs and they don’t really hate anybody. Lots of people hate them, but that’s kind of like the dysfunctional family that hates the members that do annoying things like hold down jobs and pay their own bills. If the middle east is ever going to grow the hell up and stop acting like it’s the 13th century the Kurds are going to be one of the major building blocks.
Yup. Kurdistan would ultimately absorb parts of Turkey and Iran, and become a source of stability (such as it is) in the ME.
Besides, this (cough, spit) president has more important business to tend to: like the fundamental transformation (destruction) of our country.
