Some of it is also a reflexive reaction to the Sunni concern trolls in Congress, the White House, the media, and so on. Where were these concern trolls when Iraqi Christians were being driven out of Iraq? Why hasn't the White House agitated for air attacks on Sudan over the 200,000 Christians and animists slaughtered by Sunni Arabs there? Look - I'd take the complete destruction of the Sunni Arab regime in Sudan in exchange for the toppling or Assad. But that's obviously not in the cards. Are we the mamluks - the military slaves of the Sunni Arab world - doing what they want without pay?

Follow the money — anyone in or out of gov’t who is opposed to US energy production should be considered as funded by OPEC and/or one or more of its member states.
