I want a pony
If it keeps American soldiers from being killed and wounded I’m all for it.
Sounds like a bold vision to me.
The article needed editing. Maybe it was translated from Arabic.
And....ill just bet the USA is intended to be a member of this pact with Satan. And that there’s a mutual defense clause. And that its designed to protect Sunni supremacy.
No thanks. I see no need for it.
I want an absolute demand that if the USA is treaty bound to their defense, that these bastards hold elections, allow women freedom, allow other religions, and allow anyone including Jews to visit Mecca.
Screw all this Sunni free ride crap.
Be careful what you wish for...
We shouldn’t be making arms deals with these assholes. If they want to help eliminate IS, fine. Other than that they can screw off.
Trump didn’t run on making arms deals with Arabs.
They will still be Muslims.
Pro: let them police the region and get all our people out of there.
Con: a united Arab military force is a big threat to Israel, as in end times military action against Israel.
For the last 50 years, the great advantage that Israel has had in the Middle East is that the Muslim armies are not well trained, disorganized and fragmented along national, tribal, ethnic and sectarian lines.
Developing a mechanism or an organization that would have a chance of uniting the Arab/Muslim world would be a huge mistake.
That would be like swimming in cancer.
So trumps right hand man is some kind of strict jew and a friend of Bibi.....and israel is still getting screwed over.
Why are we helping to construct a new caliphate—and sending it hundreds of billions in advanced weaponry?
Why?
Pres Trump has been doing the heavy lifting and laying the preliminaries on a Nato-type ME coalition for months. It’s time the ME took care of their own regional conflicts and problems instead of relying on foreigners which they can then turn around and demonize. If Trump can pull it off, it will be YUGE!
The official revealed ... According to a Washington Post report
Sounds like more FakeNews.
Of course he is....but you would not know it from the hum of Comey firings and Trumps is a raving lunatic who does not know what he is doing...He is turning the moderate arab world into a group that will declare war on the jihadists so we don’t have to send American troops to every hot spot in the Arab world. Saudi Arabia has as much to fear from Iran as we do so the coming together is natural...we need to ask why no other POTUS came up with this thought.
I know the president means well, but any US involvement will do more to foster the growth of Islam than to stifle it.
Forming a NATO-like organization of muslim states would be the international equivalent of forming a Neighborhood Watch group comprised of all the local burglars, muggers, housebreakers and sexual predators in the neighborhood.
“after eliminating ISIS” ...
snort
This will never happen or happen in name only. There have been ISIS-like groups in the MENA for over 1,000 years. Their ideology is embedded within Islam itself, so they are not going to be “eliminated” by some NATO-like force ... or anyone else.
Also, MENA countries will never be able to get along to become a NATO-like force. Sunni and Shia religious civil war (which has been going on for over 1,000 years) will prevent that from happening.
What it will be is like what we have now .... Muslim countries get non-Mulsim countries to fight their civil war for them.
It’s been tried before.
It did not work.
The Arabs squabble to much among themselves and the biggest ones have big agendas in the region of their own.
Better the U,S. have a Middle East “foreign legion” of its own, open only to Middle East recruits. U.S. leaders and material backing, Middle East “boots on the ground”.
Not just no, but F no.
