On September 11, both Britain and Germany made clear that they will not be participating in President Obama's planned airstrikes against ISIS.

This came one day after Obama assured Americans that the United States would be "joined by a broad coalition of partners" against ISIS.

According to HotAir.com, Britain and Germany do not plan on being part of that "broad coalition," as far as airstrikes are concerned. British foreign secretary Philip Hammond said Parliament decided against participating in airstrikes in 2013, and it won't be "revisiting" the matter. German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said his country would not participate either.

Steinmeier's exact words: "To be quite clear, we have not been asked to do so and neither will we do so."

This draws attention to a crucial, tactical distinction between Obama and George W. Bush concerning their respective fights against Islamic militants. Against Saddam Hussein, Bush had a coalition of 18 other countries. But Newsbusters.org reports Obama's "broad coalition" consists of only 9 countries who have agreed to fight against ISIS.

In February 2003, just one month before the U.S. invaded Iraq, the Media Research Center reported Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) accused Bush of "[threatening] to go it alone" because his coalition against Hussein only contained 18 other countries.

"Steinmeier's exact words: "To be quite clear, we have not been asked to do so and neither will we do so."
Obama's including countries in his "broad coalition" that he hasn't even talked to?  God, please?  Make it stop!

Well, to be fair, the exact words of our Foreign Secretary is that we will not be taking part in airstrikes in Syria.

Why do I get the feeling that this whole thing is going to blow up in our faces?

More proof, that they all 'know' exactly what Barry's game plan REALLY is in Syria.  To help ISIS overthrow Assad.  And to actually impede local opposition militias that are finding the courage to face ISIS. 

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

It's a pretty transparent scheme isn't it?  Being pressured to eradicate ISIS - Obama & Co have decided to make it look like they're fighting ISIS, but in reality - they will be helping ISIS.  Everyone is starting to see it now.

And we call follow this all the way back Benghazi which I believe was overseeing the movement of weapons to the Syrian rebels.

Let's see how many of the LIV actually believe that Bush's "unilateral, go it alone" coalition of 18 other countries was not as strong as Obama's "broad coalition" of only 9.

And that it doesn't include either Great Britain OR Germany........

Betcha any money that the illiterate, brain-dead left still believe that Obama got other countries to go along with him, and Bush didn't.

Idiots.

One wonders if Obuttocks discussed his plans at all with our allies before he opened up his big mouth about coalitions and allies.

They are simply learning what people at this site have known for years; Obama is untrustworthy and anything he says is probably a lie.  Would you go to war with someone like that?

At the same time, I have no doubt whatsoever that if it was George W. Bush, they'd be locked arm in arm together in going after these troglodytes.
