    The US should step back from micromanaging the Middle East. It no longer holds the importance that it once did.

    Why not just arm Turkey to, along with the few countries we might have not yet armed over there yet?

    Step back, let the Muslims slaughter each other. Maybe make some money off the affair. Block all refugees from migrating to the West. Publically offer to act as a neutral mediator when the waring parties wish for peace.

    And frack here.

    I would add the need for the occasional Tomahawk against terrorist training camps as well as the intelligence agencies within the countries where they are allowed to operate. Seize funds associated with the group as well as those proven to be sponsoring them. Root out extremism at home under legislation that prohibits the practice of Sharia and shut down mosques that are known to propagate extremism.

    The only problem with fracking is the breakeven cost point. The only way to manage that is to not purchase foreign oil. That includes Canadian oil. Gas prices would be about $6 a gallon if we did that.

    And you don't think that stopping our incessant "beehive poking " would help that ?

    Relevance? We've armed almost everyone other there pretty much against each other and occasionally against us. Reaserach not required Peter. Are they evil? That doesn't matter we've armed Saddam and indirectly ISIS. Are they already more than capable of buying their own weapons? That shouldn't stop us .We've armed the Saudis and Israelis .
    Also it was sarcasm.
