Secretary of State John Kerry plunged into an intensive series of meetings here with Arab officials on Thursday to coordinate strategy against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
The meetings are being hosted by Saudi Arabia, which has agreed to provide bases for the training of moderate Syrian rebels who are battling the Sunni militants and the Assad government in Damascus.
The talks will also include the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq.
The Obama administration is eager for the campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, to be perceived as a broad international effort that includes prominent Sunni states, rather than as a clash of civilizations that pits the United States against radical Islam.

Are his knee pads worn-out yet?
Oh wait, Obama says ISIL (ISIS) is not "Islamic".
Didn't you get the memo New York Times?
One wonders how much money its going to cost the U.S. to buy the “support” from Arab countries and other “allies”? Kerry is over there with a big checkbook. You can be certain of that.
Kerry obviously did not get the memo.
Saudi military strategist: “Mister Kerry, the strategy we have outlined for you contains several elements extrapolated from the Zaitsev Variation of the Ruy Lopez strategy in chess, that fit very well with the diplomatic-military paradigm, and have been confirmed with Pentagon war gaming.”
John Kerry: “So all I have to do is jump their pieces and they king me?”
Saudi military strategist: “Uh...er...why yes, Mister Kerry. I’m impressed by your...grasp...of what we are doing here. Would you like some more fig ice cream?”
John Kerry: “Oh, no thanks. I’m full of it. I’m so full of it that it’s running out my ears.”
islamist facilitator consults with islamists about defeating islamism and what type of islamism should follow, which will be the same islamism no mater what the islamists say.
He just borrowed a case of new ones from Chuck Hagel.
The Saudis are laughing...
How about this?
No, you Wahabi bassturds, fight your own stinking battles. You started this with your despicable osama bin laden. Take care of it immediately or else. The US is NOT for hire. Good luck and goodbye.
No doubt Kerry is trying to convince the Saudis that if we dither long enough sea level rise from AGW will drowned ISIS.
NO BLOOD FOR OIL!
