The gist of the RWNJ response to the Egyptian air strikes against ISIS seems to be that strong leaders like Egypt’s Sisi and Jordan’s Abdullah are willing to take action while President Obama sits on his hands or actively encourages the terrorists.

These people are beyond stupid. The US has in fact conducted more than 600 air strikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria plus an unknown but possibly substantial number of special forces ground operations. Beyond this, we are bankrolling Iraqi government and Kurdish efforts against ISIS and providing substantial logistical support to the participating allies. It is not as though any of this is a secret and there is no doubt at all about the extreme butthurt the head-choppers feel over the US actions.
