Arab League to join war against ISIS

Arab League foreign ministers meeting in Cairo have agreed to pool their resources and join the fight against Islamic State.

The resolution passed at the end of the meeting hinted at some kind of League military action and tacitly supported US and Iraqi efforts to combat ISIS.

NBC:

The Arab League also endorsed in the closing statement of its meeting in Cairo a U.N. Security Council resolution passed last month calling on member states to "act to suppress the flow of foreign fighters, financing and other support to Islamist extremist groups in Iraq and Syria."

Baghdad had earlier submitted a draft resolution endorsing its own efforts to confront militants who have seized large areas for a cross-border caliphate and to condemn ISIS' actions as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Diplomatic sources said before the meeting that Arab foreign ministers were set to endorse a U.S. aerial campaign against the group and Egypt's official Mena news agency said the ministers would agree to coordinate with the United States.

The final text did not directly endorse either the Iraqi or U.S. campaign against ISIS, but diplomatic sources said the wording clearly offered Arab cooperation to U.S. and Iraqi efforts and could be read as a tacit agreement to back Washington's campaign against the group.

Arab League chief Nabil al-Arabi told the session that the rise of the group in Iraq challenged not merely the authority of the state but "its very existence and the existence of other states" and called for a decisive resolution to confront terrorism militarily, politically, economically and culturally.

Hopefully this is significant, although I have a bad feeling that there’s more down the road.

The League wants nothing to do with the Obizmo alliance involving Iran, or Turkey.

This is exactly what should happen - Muslim countries should supply boots on ground to defeat ISIS. These Muslim dictators are next so it is in their interest and oiurs to stop ISIS.

I used to say this as snark… But now I’m starting to think it is actually true:

Biraq Insane 0bama thinks he is the 12th Imam who will reunite the Sunni and Shia to finally destroy the infidel, and that he will then become the Caliph of the world.

Because:
Obama may say “we don’t have a strategy yet” for beating ISIS. Growing American operations on the ground paint a different picture—one with Iranian hues.

.............................................

Plus, Biraq is starting another war, this one in West Africa: 0bama says he will send US Military to fight Ebola in West Africa.

Someone tell this douche that a pen and a phone, nor a bullet or a drone will kill a virus.

(Although “the Ripley Solution would probably work)

..............................

Plus +:
You probably knew that ISIS has an Air Force:

But did you know they have a Navy now too?
