Arab League Vows to Confront ISIS

CAIRO — Arab League foreign ministers agreed on Sunday to take all necessary measures to confront ISIS and cooperate with international, regional and national efforts to combat militants who have overrun swathes of Iraq and Syria.

The Arab League also endorsed in the closing statement of its meeting in Cairo a U.N. Security Council resolution passed last month calling on member states to "act to suppress the flow of foreign fighters, financing and other support to Islamist extremist groups in Iraq and Syria."

Baghdad had earlier submitted a draft resolution endorsing its own efforts to confront militants who have seized large areas for a cross-border caliphate and to condemn ISIS' actions as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Diplomatic sources said before the meeting that Arab foreign ministers were set to endorse a U.S. aerial campaign against the group and Egypt's official Mena news agency said the ministers would agree to coordinate with the United States.

For all those who wonder when the Middle East would come together to fight ISIS, well here you go.

This is an excellent start!

Next, we need to see them start committing their own resources, and in a large way.

I'm talking THEIR troops on the ground, THEIR planes taking out targets.

I want to see them start solving their OWN regional problems, and soon.

I can't wait for them to tell us oil will pay for the whole thing.

I hope these guys don't fight like The Iraqi Army.

lol what a puppet show...

The Isrealis handed them their walking papers a few times now.....I don't expect they'll actually do much better against the ISIL crowd.....
