Isn't this the case in every conflict? By the looks of things quite a few members of the Coalition Of The Willing supplied little more than, er, willingness. I'd love to know if there's anyone out there with a full grasp of who's fighting who and why in Syria. Beats the shit out of me.

It is obvious. They are more interested to fight the militias pro or anti Assad, all sides. Since IS founded their Caliphate their declared themselves neutral so they are not the main targets

Several members of the US-led coalition attacking the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria are doing “nothing at all” to help destroy the jihadists, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has said.

Surprise, surprise Smiley. ...and some other coalition members are doing even too much... but unfortunately on the other side Smiley.

Self-criticism is a good beginning of the way to redemption.

Several members of the US-led coalition attacking the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria are doing “nothing at all” to help destroy the jihadists, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has said.

His comments mark a departure from the Pentagon’s typical depiction of the 65-member coalition, which carries the slogan “One mission, many nations,” and is frequently touted to highlight global resolve in the predominantly US effort to defeat the Isis group.

“Many of them are not doing enough, or are doing nothing at all,” Carter said in an interview with CNBC on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
