I think it's a vindication of Obama's 'hands off' foreign policy. If we don't rush in and do it for them, the regional countries that are the one's actually threatened by ISIS will get off their asses and take action, lest THEY become part of the New Caliphate!


Precisely!

Well, it's extremely difficult for Obama to figure out WHAT to do after George Jr. left the Mideast in such a mess..

George Jr. GAVE Iraq to Iran so now there's this big Sectarian battle going on.

In the past Saddam Hussein provided a 'check' on Iran but Bush removed that check and actually gave Iran a new ally.

Now the Saudis, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt are terrified of this new powerhouse in Iran that Bush created.

I'll bet anything that the Saudis are now doing everything to acquire their own nukes...
