As usual, Greetings posts are accurate.

The New American published an article asking if ISIS has roots in Russia: http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/20321-the-russian-roots-of-isis

I think ISIS is mainly the remnants of Saddam’s army and maybe some elements of AQ combined; got a foothold in Syria where there was widespread dissatisfaction.

55% of the French want a military operation against ISIS in Syria: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/05/24/uk-mideast-crisis-syria-france-idUKKBN0O80N120150524?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews

Former UK military chief wants UK to send up to 5000 troops to battle ISIS: http://www.itv.com/news/update/2015-05-24/ex-army-chief-uk-must-consider-ground-troops-in-syria/

So, the above are clear-thinking. Hope we can have the same or at least, a more invigorating air campaign.

I read that New American article and the only thing that came to mind as I was reading was Obama’s not meant for public consumption remark to Medvedev about ‘after the election having more flexibility’.

Then I read the comments. Overwhelmingly questioning the content and credibility of the author.

I suppose one could accuse them of being Putin plants but they sounded more angry at Obama and his abuse of our government.
