Iraq’s most prominent Christian cleric voiced his disappointment Sunday at the scope of U.S. intervention, which he said offered little hope that jihadists would be defeated and displaced people could go home.

“The position of the American president Obama only to give military assistance to protect Erbil is disappointing,” Chaldean Patriarch Louis Sako wrote in an open letter.

The patriarch described the prospect of having to wait for Iraqi government forces to start fighting alongside the peshmerga as “very depressing.”

This is window dressing, too little, too late,
but Obama WHO CREATED ISIS from the “rebels” he armed.

These murderers were created by Obama, Clinton and McCain.

The whole agenda of the Current Occupant is centered around imposing a Muslim-led supremacy all over the world, and the Christian and Jewish religions pose a serious threat to that hegemony.

The Yazadi folk of Iraq do not form as much of a threat to the Muslim domination, as they can be persuaded to simply pay the jizra, and may be relied upon to not resist their bondage. The Christians, however, keep raising this apostasy of the divinity of Christ, and that is CLEARLY a challenge to The Prophet (P*ss be on his Name).

Didn’t our fearless leader say to the Egyptian foreign minister something like, “Muslims will see what I will do for them” in reference to Israel?

.....In other words to impose worship of SATAN the DEVIL, also called ALLAH instead of the ONE TRUE GOD of the Holy Bible.
