"To say this complicates the Obama administration's diplomatic outreach is to put it mildly. This administration -- in fairness, not unlike the last few years of the Bush administration -- seems prepared to make an endless series of concessions to Tehran in order to secure a peaceful resolution of the nuclear issue. Yet despite these repeated overtures, the Iranians refuse to budge even an inch and instead make announcements of more centrifuges and new missiles. Now they're launching airstrikes in Iraq."

Why have we heard nothing of this in the MSM?

Iran hitting targets inside of Iraq? Obama is going to cause another WW. This is just another 'sign' of coming attractions.

We’ll run to the UN, that will show them!

Me, I would bomb Kharg Island, and tell them the bombing stops when they destroy the nukes.

But that’s just me.

Just break out the old Clinton playbook:

“You’d better behave, or by golly, I’ll warn you again!”

Looks like Reuters did the obligatory ‘report’.

I was gone most of the day yesterday, so might have missed any reporting on the matter. Sorry if it has already been posted.

Hillary's area hasn't been a concern for anybody in decades.

Turkey has also been using air and ground troops inside Iraq. These attacks are directed at the Kurds who are in Iraq, Turkey, and Iran. There is a long history surrounding “Kurdistan” and the desire of some Kurds to have a separate country. There have been Kurdish raids from inside Iraq into Iran and Turkey.

Notice this happened over the weekend, Obama is manipulating the entire media with “fake monster panic news stories” because things are either going horrible wrong, or what he is doing would be seen as horribly wrong, but either way, the leftist media is providing cover by tossing bread and circuses to the idiot masses ...
