Post-America is trying to get Turkey do do more, but the Kurds, for understandable reasons, don't want any big-time Turkish involvement.
But it's the Most Equal Comrade's choice of models for how to deal with jihad that once again demonstrates his utter cluelessness about life on planet Earth:
President Obama has held up Yemen as a successful cast of counterterrorism, when describing what he believes ought to be done about ISIS.
About that…SAN’A, Yemen—Two suicide bombers struck in Yemen on Thursday—one targeting a gathering of Shiite rebels in the country’s capital and the other hitting a military outpost in the south—in attacks that killed nearly 70 people, officials said.
The bombings underscored Yemen’s highly volatile situation following last month’s takeover of the capital, San’a, by the Shiite Houthi rebels, whose blitz surprised the impoverished Arab nation on the southern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. The Houthis’ push into San’a also prompted threats of retaliation from their Sunni militant foes in al Qaeda’s Yemen branch.
If Yemen is the model for successful counterterrorism, then the Islamic State is here to stay.
It's a post-American world.
