I am no fan of the UN.
But I am a fan of a multinational approach to financing and policing the damned place so we can get it ship-shape to get the hell out of there, letting them run it themselves eventually. We are going to get bogged down a one hell of a Nation-Building mess for our US military. We are in a difficult position.
Delivering clear threatening ultimatums to Syria and Iran over their borders as transhipment points for the jihadi starting to stream in to Dodge City for the Big Showdown with Uncle Sam, would be good for starters.
Whether that is in the iron will of the Administration, only the hallway walls in Foggy Bottom could show us, if they could only speak.
