No boots on the ground? Why? Because a bunch of muslims from somewhere, or Russians maybe, are going to do the fighting for us? Or the Kurds maybe?
Sunni ISIS and Shia Iran agree about one thing. The United States is their greatest enemy. We are the Great Satan. The Kurds are interested in establishing Kurdistan. They have not signed on to be a substitute for the American military. We refuse to arm them so as not offend Turkey. Turkey is a muslim country with a big army, much bigger than ISIS. Are they going to fight ISIS on our behalf? Doesn’t look like it.
This “coalition” that Obama keeps talking about is a fantasy. We either put large numbers of American boots on the ground, or we cede the ground to ISIS. And that ground is not just in Iraq and Syria. It is in Beirut. It is in Russia, Egypt, Libya, Paris, Nigeria. And Minnesota.
Obama wants to import a few hundred thousand Syrian refugees, some of whom will inevitably be trained ISIS soldiers. ISIS doesn’t have a problem with putting boots on the ground.
