The Guardian<\/a> reports that Fran\u00e7ois Hollande will ask Obama to get serious about attacking ISIS in Syria and Iraq when they meet next week. According to a “European diplomat”, Hollande believes that US’ attacks on ISIS aren’t as successful as the Obama administration would have us believe and that lack of success is destabilizing Europe. This is where I remind my readers, once again, that Hollande’s first act as president of France was to announce the early withdrawal of French troops from Afghanistan – the fulfillment of his campaign promise to get France out of the war against terror – much like Obama’s campaign promise to get US troops out of Iraq.<\/p>\n

Noting the debate raging among governments over how to handle the biggest movement of people to Europe since the second world war, he added: \u201cIt\u2019s the foreign fighters but it\u2019s also the migrants crisis which is dividing the Europeans, destabilising the continent, so we have to act quickly, telling the US administration the core interests of the Europeans, your best allies, are at stake.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funny how a scant months ago everyone was telling us how there was no military solution to the problems in the middle east, that the diplomats would have to solve it, you know, so we didn’t need a large military intervention in Iraq and Syria, but now, suddenly, the diplomats are calling for more military action. <\/p>\n

Because the West squandered their opportunities to solve the Syrian civil war years ago, no matter what happens there now, it will end in a blood bath. And, the Europeans are calling for US troops to be in that blood bath, without any offer of their own military beyond some airstrikes, for their own political benefit.<\/p>\n

While I stand with France against terrorism, they need to step up for themselves, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
