UAE pulled out of IS fight after pilot capture:

 

Washington (AFP) - The United Arab Emirates pulled out of the air campaign fighting Islamic State militants after the capture of a Jordanian pilot who has since been killed by the extremists, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

The pilot was captured in December and Islamic State militants released a video Tuesday showing the man in a cage being burned alive.

The key US ally in the campaign suspended air strikes in December after the capture, fearing for the fate of its pilots, the Times said, quoting US officials.

WIMPS!  Instead of turning up the heat these wimps stop the fight. As Stormy said earlier in another thread, the US will be asked to go in and when they do all hell will break loose then we'll hear cries about America bad bad.

why is that unexpected. I told you folks yesterday that the burden is on the US and I hope they let it go far enough to really make some of these cowards know the difference between freedom defined in secular terms and Sharia law. ISIS does nothing to t he west. Pretty soon All of Europe will  take away passport rights  of any known to have gone to the battle field. Let them stay where they are
