Kerry and Barack were too busy opening the (back?) door to homosexuals into Ambassadorships.

Obama to make a statement that the White House did respond, via email, but the cheap government computers lost them.

Like with the Tsarnaevs, this poshitus sure likes to give our enemies elbow room and peace and quiet to work.

...a major foreign official has accused Obama’s America of being a fickle, disengaged ally.

That's because Obama has been a fickle, disengaged President.

I remember Christopher Hitchens (famous atheist and Iraq-war supporter) saying from the beginning that the Kurds were the only reasonable actor in that region, and that from the end of the First Gulf War in 1991, they were the only ones who were naturally developing a relatively normal system of government that wasn’t based solely on Islam or the utterings of some crazy Imam.

I worked PSD in Iraq for a few years. Used to take folks to see Barzani and other high ranking Kurdish officials. The differences between the Kurds and the arabs were ridiculous. They were so hospitable and friendly. Of course, all the Kurds were guarded by the Peshmerga, who’d chop your head off just as quick as they’d offer you some chai. But, they saved all that aggression for the arabs. When we went to the other Iraqi compounds it was gross.

They took offense to foreign PSD teams having visible weapons, so teams were required to leave their rifles in their vehicles and had to conceal their pistols. As far as the Peshmerga was concerned, they could and did handle their problems.

What’s interesting, is that right before I gave up working over there, three of the big hotel chains were in the process of building hotels in the Kurdistan. The Kurds are normal and want normal relations with the rest of the world, unlike the savages/idiots to the south.

I didn't get past this:

"That’s the second time in four days that a major foreign official has accused Obama’s America of being a fickle, disengaged ally. "

Obama may be fickle. But that is not why he ignored the Kurds. He is a Sunni. He is pulling for the Sunnis. ISIS is Sunni.

Connect the dots. There are dots in Syria. There are dots in Egypt. There are dots in Libya. There are dots in Afghanistan. And now there are dots in Iraq.

This is not Rocket Science.

If ISIS is more radically moslem than the kurds, then obama will back ISIS. he ALWAYS supports the most radical, most anti-American side in any conflict

When Iraq, in concert with their Iranian and Russian allies, finally clean out ISIS their next target will be the Kurds. Obama will not care.

I am thinking the US (AND especially the MSM) won't budge one way or another UNTIL/UNLESS the terrorists F with Jordan.

THAT will be the deal breaker... always assuming this administration is capable of making/holding to agreements of ANY kind with leaders IN or OUT of the ME!

HOWEVER, given the track record of this President, it is always entirely possible that, for whatever reason (or for NO reason at all) any perfectly sound and logical plan for US involvement/non involvement will be turned into a dog's breakfast by this a$# hat in the White House. This is what you get when you put treasonous and un vetted idiots in power.

. . .will fuel Republican charges that the Obama administration has been dangerously disengaged from the Middle East. . . .

obama is not disengaged, but probably working to help help ISIS behind the scenes any way he can, so I doubt there will be any serious military action that would, in reality, damage their cause. Whatever he does will be designed for public consumption so he can claim to be helping, while really doing nothing. We will probably see pictures of bombs harmlessly going off in the desert or on abandoned buildings. They are just trying to figure out how to stage the illusion.
