At least he speaks French, that should come in handy talking away the
unilateral surrender strategy Barack Obama has paraded before the world;
U.S. Secretary of State
John Kerry
joined top Middle East diplomats for talks Thursday in Saudi
Arabia aimed at building a regional coalition to fight extremists of the
Islamic State, a day after President
Barack Obama
declared America's intention to eradicate the militant group.
The
talks in Jeddah were to be attended by the foreign ministers of Jordan,
Egypt and the six members a Gulf regional bloc, along with Turkey. The
agenda included U.S. plans for expanded American airstrikes against
Islamic State in Syria and Iraq and more support for moderate rebels
opposed both to the Islamic State and Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad.
Moderate rebels. Should be thick on the ground in the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia has agreed to host a
training center where U.S. military officials would lead efforts to
train and arm moderate insurgents, U.S. State Department officials said.
Mr. Kerry was discussing the program Thursday with Saudi Arabia's
King Abdullah
and Foreign Minister
Saud al-Faisal,
the officials said.
No extremists need apply, in Wahhabist Saudi Arabia.
