Vilken sida är Obama på?

Obama stoppar vapensändningar till Kurderna - de kan ju stoppa ISIS. Obama har ingen aning om vad han sysslar med.

“There is simply no strategic approach. There is a lack of coordination in selecting targets, and there is no overall plan for defeating Isis.” Indeed. The President keeps forcing people to ask the question, Which side is he on?

“US blocks attempts by Arab allies to fly heavy weapons directly to Kurds to fight Islamic State,” by Con Coughlin,Telegraph, July 2, 2015:
The United States has blocked attempts by its Middle East allies to fly heavy weapons directly to the Kurds fighting Islamic State jihadists in Iraq, The Telegraph has learnt.

Some of America’s closest allies say President Barack Obama and other Western leaders, including David Cameron, are failing to show strategic leadership over the world’s gravest security crisis for decades.

They now say they are willing to “go it alone” in supplying heavy weapons to the Kurds, even if means defying the Iraqi authorities and their American backers, who demand all weapons be channelled through Baghdad.

High level officials from Gulf and other states have told this newspaper that all attempts to persuade Mr Obama of the need to arm the Kurds directly as part of more vigorous plans to take on Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) have failed. The Senate voted down one attempt by supporters of the Kurdish cause last month.

The officials say they are looking at new ways to take the fight to Isis without seeking US approval.

“If the Americans and the West are not prepared to do anything serious about defeating Isis, then we will have to find new ways of dealing with the threat,” said a senior Arab government official. “With Isis making ground all the time we simply cannot afford to wait for Washington to wake up to the enormity of the threat we face.”…

The US has also infuriated its allies, particularly Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Gulf states, by what they perceive to be a lack of clear purpose and vacillation in how they conduct the bombing campaign. Other members of the coalition say they have identified clear Isis targets but then been blocked by US veto from firing at them.

“There is simply no strategic approach,” one senior Gulf official said. “There is a lack of coordination in selecting targets, and there is no overall plan for defeating Isis.”
