Islamic State fighters take Yazidi town; killings and abductions reported
Wasington Post ^ | Aug 15, 2014 | Liz Sly

Extremist fighters swarmed into a besieged Yazidi village Friday and killed or captured dozens of residents, according to Yazidis and Kurdish commanders, offering a reminder that the ancient minority sect is still in danger despite President Obama’s conclusion that the risk had passed for a group stranded on Mount Sinjar.

The alleged killings came a day after Obama called off plans for a military evacuation of Yazidis trapped on Mount Sinjar, saying they were no longer at risk.

But although the airstrikes appear to have helped those trapped on the mountain reach safety, people who did not join the initial exodus are still at risk, Yazidis say.

Obama stopped the attacks on the Islamic terrorists as soon as he could... his announcements that the problem has been solved are clearly not supported by reality.

To be fair, their needs are interfering with his golf game, and it’s much more important to get a 6 under par round than it is to save Christians from getting their heads cut off.../s

Is Obama invoking the field-tested, Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule for the US to not prevent the ongoing genocide of Christians, and Yazidis in current US Ally Iraq?

BTW, the Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule is as follows:

“1.) ALWAYS STAND DOWN WHEN MUSLIMS ATTACK,
2.) WAIT FOR THE MUSLIMS TO FINISH THEIR BLOOD SPORT KILLING, AND
3.) THEN DO NOTHING.”

I think the ISIS have come up with a pretty good idea : CONVERT OR DIE !
This is exactly the strategy that needs to be applied to them . Surely they will understand ..... Convert to Christianity ( or Judeism ) or die . Upon live capture give them 5 minutes to decide . The world has to find the resolve to start filling mass graves with these cretins . Not only ISIS but Hamas , the Taliban , Boko Haram , all smells of al Qaeda, abu Sayaf , al Shadab , etc etc. The world needs to declare ‘ open season ‘ ....$ 200 per pair of ears...

“My War”

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them
You don’t want to see me live
You don’t want me to give
cause you’re one of them

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them
I might not know what a friend is
All I know is what you’re not
cause you’re one of them

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them
I have a prediction, it lives in my brain
It’s with me every day, it drives me insane
I feel it in my heart, that if I has a gun
I feel it in my heart, I’d wanna kill some
I feel it in my heart, the end will come Come on!

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them
Tell me that I’m wrong
Try to sing me your ego song
You’re one of them

My war you’re one of them
You say that you’re my friend
But you’re one of them My War.

-Black Flag-Rollins

It will be literally He’ll on Earth for those who are captured by these savages. I would pray for death rather than that kind of life.

Some Yazidis chose not to leave the mountain cuz they believed crisis isn’t over. And it won’t be until IS is completely disintegrated. This is a long term war. We can’t claim victory unless no more IS or any type of Islamist. There have been talks to try regroup the Sahwa to help fight IS now that Iraq has a new PM. I don’t know if this is feasible.

Syrian Kurds had more to do with helping the Yazidi off of the mountains. Clearly, whenever ISIS find Yazidi they’ll kill them. I believe our best efforts to route ISIS are to arm the Kurds with newer and better weapons and use airpower to take out ISIS heavy weapons and transport vehicles. Once the playing field is leveled, the Kurds will finish the job.

obozo has blood dripping from his hands. He will do anything to save his muzzie jihad cohorts, ISIS, Hamas, etc. obozo is a muzzie collaborator..he's no practicing muzzie, believes in no God, except his own imagined image of one. Don't people notice that he always sides “with the wrong people”, with the wrong political group, because he is protecting them, these very people who bombed us on 9/11, the enemy of We the People, and obozo’s friends.

When Obama-the-lying-Moslem said the attacks were “over”,
THAT was the ‘green light” to his ISIS troops to attack.

6 under par? DemocRATs like 0dumb0sh_t cheat & lie about everything. The only way that 0dumb0 will shoot a 6 under par is to not count every 3rd shot and to claim a mulligan every time he tees off.

You’re right. Syrian Kurds are also known as PKK. They’ve been fight IS in Iraq too last couple of months helping Peshmerga. I read many Kurds are now wanting the US to remove PKK from its list of ‘terrorist grps’.
