Over 50 diplomats at the U.S. State Department signed a memo, leaked on Thursday, that was critical of the Obama administration’s Syria policy and called for targeted military strikes against Assad’s government.

What's this? Dissension? Naw couldn't be. . . Obama's policy in Sysia is working just fine. After being being sidelined by Putin, its been going downhill for the administration's approach.

I find it interesting that the two "like minded" leaders are meeting to discuss what was "desired" and "wanted" by both have now become "thorns" in their "unstated and undeclared" but most probably intended effort to change the "world order". (Obama's use of ISIL and not ISIS also is an indicator besides his refusal to use Islamic terrorist, radical or not.)

Both Iran and ISIS have served their purpose, one to give nuclear power to another Muslim nation in the Middle East that is controlled by Islamic Imams and to start a Muslim based movement in the entire world. Syria and ISIS were both very effective distractions to make sure Iran got their nuclear deal. (Russia and China too were conveniently "used" as distractions as well as tools. They both provided the technology and the military resources that allowed all of that to come to pass. Unfortunately, N Korea was used by China as their cover in that effort. )

ISIS have started to make Muslims worldwide such as the Palestinians, Hamas, Al Quida and others aware and unite as a"religious" group and movement and to eliminate and displace those that may oppose. It also helped to create the mass exodus of unwanted populations from areas that were difficult and undesirable for a centralized Muslim authority. They got the territories and the resources within those territories while they created instability and weakness in Europe and the Mediterranean (Judeo/Christian countries.)

The problem is ISIS as a military group has served its purpose as a distraction and have become a liability. No one wants another Muslim State that is entirely military, anywhere. If that is not the reason, then why did all the nations including the USA (Obama) hold back till now? To begin with, why did USA "leave behind" such massive armaments to begin with? Why did ISIS get to the oil? Also why is all the modern armaments being shipped to so called allies?

Given every statement, silence, rhetoric, action, and inaction by both world leaders (one a Judeo/Christian based USA and the other a Islam based Saudi Arabia) throughout the the last 7 years shows a trend, a direction which paints a scenario that is moving the world toward a major and drastic change. It is exactly what Obama has promised, his "agenda for change" repeated during both elections.

It will be interesting to know what they will announce and what they will allow to happen besides what they will do together and separately.

(There is no indication that the change that is happening is radical terrorism. All indications are that it is a well designed and coordinated religious war.This meeting has very little to do with oil. Obama assured and Clinton confirmed that USA shall not use its oil.)

So Obama "discusses" ISIS with the top sponsor of ISIS. Surely, a brilliant result will come from the the meeting of these two parties...

Saudi Arabia funds and exports Islamic extremism: The truth behind the toxic U.S. relationship with the theocratic monarchy

One important thought...

The key is "communication". What does this meeting "communicate" to the world?

What is/are the message/s that this meeting is sending to the world?

If Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize was the signal for the beginning of Muslim Spring, what does this signal?

Or was there other signals earlier that prompted this meeting?

Would be nice to know...

Looks like the regressive left is not even aware of the consistent and ongoing funding of radical Sunni islamist groups by Saudi Arabia. The mind boggles. Some people are truly living in a bubble.
