So, it's taken Obama two weeks to decide what to do? The time to act was prior to ISIS' seizing control of dams that could produce an even worse catastrophe for the population.

 

The Christians' peril wasn't enough, so he sent ½-gallon of water for each practitioner of a pagan religion stuck on a mountain? How's that going to work when there's no ground support to prevent losing it?

 

He ordered two bombs to destroy a truck and its munitions? There are over 10,000 ISIS/Caliphate butchers loose in Syria and (now) Iraq!

  

So, you approve of Obama's bombing, when neither the Kurds nor the Yezidis contributed to the destruction of New York and Washington, DC during the 9/11 attack?

According to the UN, it's too little too late for at least 5600 of Iraqi civilians.

Excerpt:

"...The best time and way to act in Iraq would have been to preserve those gains by getting a Status of Forces Agreement and leaving some troops in a relatively stable country to guide Iraqi troops and maintain influence on the increasingly problematic Maliki.

The next best time to act would have been any of the time between ISIS’ debut and now, when rolling back its gains would have been easier.

But here we are, and I fear that what President Obama has planned won’t be enough to stop these varsity jihadists with huge ambitions. Further, I’m afraid that neither the American people nor the American president are interested in what might actually derail ISIS in a meaningful way. In which case, does our current military action actually end up achieving anything?"

A lot of work for nothing...

"...But with Obama’s latest decision to launch airstrikes against the Islamic State in the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), the Obama Doctrine has now come into focus: pretend to give a damn about suffering of innocents when it hits the headlines, ignore it the rest of the time…

'Looks like Obama avoided another Benghazi...

Did Obama say we are going to be in this war for a while??

IF the US had maintained a US runway in Iraq, we wouldn't need to send air support from a carrier in the Mediterranean Sea, which is 1700 miles away from Kurdish territory. (Our favored ally in the region).
