It took about 600 years from first contact with the Muzzies for the Europeans to mount a solid defense and finally push them back starting at the Gates of Vienna on Sept. 11, 1683.

Where is this so called coalition 0 talked about? It’s invisible.

Our Allies in the past are tired of being sold down the river for Obamas gain.
Also tired of the fact there is no coherent plans...like going day by day while looking at the polls before deciding the next course of action.

Ask yourself, would you want Obama in the foxhole with you? Would you risk life and limb relying on Obama to cover you? Would you even turn your back on him?

Obama spit in the face of every ally we had. And they know Obama will abandon anyone and everyone as soon as it is politically expedient.

I remember the song parody “Under My Bus” by Alfonzo Raphael on PJTV, and feel like playing it right now. Obama really is a bull in a China shop.

The ‘Mid east Allies’ he wants actually support the beliefs of ISIS, especially Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia. The Sunnis in Mosul actually embraced ISIS when the fighters arrived.

Any potential allies want to have positive results with no skin in the game. Then when things go awry, they can self righteously cast blame on the U.S.

They’re about to be taken over by ISIS.

High tide for muslim expansion was The Battle of Tours, 732 A.D., where the French (Francks?) defeated them. Then the Spanish kicked them out of Spain in 1492.

Obama is a dangerous friend and a feckless impotent enemy.

Why would Obama go after ISIS? He created them. He armed them. He trained them. Again, why should Obama want to go after ISIS?

Obama has made a cottage industry of insulting our true allies, and he expects them to rush to his aid? He needs to read “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”.

It’s amazing how his actions are judged by those not encumbered with the political correctness of affirmative action.
