There’s plenty of military power in the Middle East to confront the threat of the jihadist group, Will argued:
Look what’s in the neighborhood: Saudi Arabia has 250 highly competent aircraft and an AWAC system [Airborne Warning and Control System] to control it. You’ve got Iran and Iraq, [who] are enemies of ISIS, so [are] Syria, Jordan, and the Kurds, who are, for all intents and purposes, a nation right now. So you’ve got six nations in the neighborhood.
“If they can’t do it,” Will concluded, “we shouldn’t.”
