I would disagree that we have to clean up the ME. The Egyptian President gave a truly remarkable speech just a couple of weeks ago. Telling the Clerics of the Sunni Doctrine that it falls on them. They have to get out and start talking to the youth. Take back their religion from the Heretics looking to dominate and take control of it. Now that's where it starts and then with other Muslims going after these heretics despite any belief they have in Sharia Law.
Which we still have the Arab countries telling us.....they cannot do it on their own. That's where we come and others come in as it is everybody's problem.
But you are Right about dealing with those so called Allies.
US should stop Syria not ISIS: Saudi prince.....

US should stop Syria not ISIS: Saudi Prince.
I would tell the Saud to shut up and get to work.....Now! Since they are the cause of this a whole issue with Syria.
