No, I don't think so. Iran wants Shiites in control of Iraq, but if it has to deal with Sunnis from the north and central areas, it doesn't want them to be ISIS. Iran is reportedly helping Iraq build up the Shiite militias. But, I'm only repeating what I read.

Obama is such a dumbass. Why announce that you won’t send in ground forces? Let them worry that you might. It’s like playing poker and giving two cards back to the dealer.

He will stall, while the world gets more dangerous, until he gets out of office.

If there was another attack like the one in NY, he would draw a red line and go on vacation.

We should have kept permanent bases there like Germany and South Korea.

So dropping bombs there and strafing aren’t “acts of war”. What does Clown Prince nobama think...that he’s playing tiddlywinks? What a buffoon, poltroon and feckless wonder.

President Barack Obama says the United States can’t and shouldn’t intervene in every world crisis. But he says when innocent people face a massacre and the U.S. has the ability to stop it, the nation shouldn’t look away. […] Obama says he won’t allow the U.S. to be dragged into another war in Iraq

This is amazingly unbelievable. The only reason any of this is happening is due to Obama's policies and decisions. It could have been stopped before it got anywhere near to this point. Instead, he sat on his hands and did nothing, mocked those who said ISIS was a threat by calling them "JV League" as though they were just minor pests, and just sat and watched and they took over more and more territory and now are using the resources they have plundered to make themselves an increasingly powerful force. They should have been stopped right as they started - they knew they were there, what they were planning, and Obama and his administration just sat around and chose to do nothing...again, and again, and again. Now they are entrenched in many cities, large and small, and continuing to advance. The Kurds have attempted to purchase weapons to defend their own territory, and Obama refused to allow the transfer of the supplies to the Kurds.
