President Obama is considering airstrikes or airdrops of food and medicine to address a humanitarian crisis among as many as 40,000 religious minorities in Iraq who have been dying of heat and thirst on a mountaintop after death threats from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, administration officials said on Thursday.
The president, in meetings with his national security team at the White House on Thursday morning, has been weighing a series of options ranging from dropping humanitarian supplies on Mount Sinjar to military strikes on the fighters from ISIS now at the base of the mountain, a senior administration official said.
“There could be a humanitarian catastrophe there,” a second administration official said, adding that a decision from Mr. Obama was expected “imminently — this could be a fast-moving train.”

I'm betting the WH pulls out the big guns and lets Michelle have a crack at this. The effect will be devastating.
He has a real problem if he cannot decide whether to conduct airstrikes or food drops on these people... In all likelihood, BHO would prefer to bomb them.
Since he is decimating the military we must have a boatload of MRE’s surplus. Airdrop them in instead. What a doofus.
So Obama considers helping the muslim Kurds but nothing for the Iraqi Christians being murdered and expunged from Iraq by ISIS?
Actually, they are talking about sending humanitarian aid.
Food won’t do these people much good if they are dead.
The Pea brained egit can't manage more than one thing at a time then.!
If that were to happen Putin would become the great historical hero among Christians and Muslims as well.

A fact sure to be unmentioned in the MSM.
My God what a worthless P.O.S. this president is.
They are prepared to drop food but Michelle is reviewing the menu choices.
Ah, but if you’re the president and your regime is sinking fast there’s but one thing to do — bomb something ... anything ... to deflect attention!
LOL. She had better get that done fast; the plane is leaving for Martha’s Vinyard shortly.

And then immediately head off on vacation. There’s lots of golf to be played.
Gee, many of these ISIS terrorists came from and have been primarily assisted by Syria and the almost open border with Iraq.
What a supreme irony that Obama just loves open borders...
Precisely.
Obama must favor Muslims over Christians, but we already knew that.
Yes...these are trial balloons to make sure he has political support.
He’s not man enough to stick his neck out and do what’s right.
Hard to help “bitter clingers”...
I suggest we arm the Kurds heavily and support an independent Kurdistan. It’s way past time that they have their own state. Create safe passage corridors for civilians and allow the warring Shiites and Sunnis to fight it out, because that’s evidently what they want.

Hard to choose what’s right when you were never taught right from wrong. Doubly hard when surrounded by sycophants who do nothing but gush about how your ideas are so smart.
