How long before we start sending them aid?
We already have sent the “Army of the ISIS Caliphate” a good deal of aid. They just pick up the weapons and materiel dropped by the Iraqi army as they are either annihilated or flee in panicked retreat.
Actually, our earlier attempt to send them aid, while they were still pretty much engaged in Syria, went a little awry when the events of September 11, 2012 got out of hand. The original intent was to ship the weaponry no longer needed for the “pacification” of Libya to Syria, to be used by the various “liberators” arrayed against Bashar al-Assad, among which was to be this really fanatical group, now the self-styled Caliphate. But the holders and custodians of those weapons got a little restive and resistant to giving up this cache of war materiel, and we had the shootout, which caused the Obama High Command no little degree of consternation, as it wasn’t supposed to happen this way.
There is a chain that ties all this together, and it is inexorably tightening. The mischief it shall cause so much of the world is going to be a fearsome price to pay for wrongful ideology of several varieties, and the absolute certainty “that could never happen”.
Pessimism and reality often end up at the same place. The rationalization later may be different, but they are bound together, if only because of the human penchant for making all the wrong choices first, before there is only one right thing to do in the end.
Probably next week since they are King Obama's people.
I'd bet we already send them aid.
