What if Obama simply told the Arabic League to take care of ISIS?

I mean, it's their geopolitical region of influence.

Good Luck.

You are on your own.

We learned our lessons. We won't kill Muslims anymore in the Middle-East. Nope.

We are confident that the Arabic League knows how to handle this situation. You can do this. We are proud of you and your achievements. Who can forget the hard-earned diplomatic victories the Arabic League achieved in Libya and Syria?



Obama should straight up ask for a meeting with the Arabic League and tell them: "I'm sorry, this doesn't work. Without help from you guys, our bombing-campaign is futile. We are out. Here's all the intelligence we have on ISIS. Go get 'em, Tiger."



Would this be enough to get them of their asses?

(I know, my suggestion is bullshit, if only for humanitarian reasons. But it really itches me that the West has to clean this up while all they do is sit on the sidelines and talk. Or finance ISIS.)
