ISIS has been defeated on the ground in Iraq, according to Iraqi and U.S.. military officials. After years of barbarism and slaughter of Christians in the region, their reign of terror and genocide is over and a new hope resides in the streets.

In Baghdad Iraqi Christians are proudly displaying a 30-foot tall Christmas tree and passers by have been taking photos and selfies in front of it all weekend long.

Dear Christians: Take this short interlude of peace to arm yourselves to the teeth. Learn some offensive and defensive tactics. And Merry Christmas.

...slaughter of Christians in the region which Obama did relatively little to stop.

ISIS was viewed as a strategic tool by the Saudis and Obama/Clinton and the US Establishment (for example, John McCain), to wage proxy-civil war on Assad, poke Russia and Iran in the eye, and dominate pipeline politics in the region. It was assumed ISIS would be contained once those goals were met. Russia's unexpected intervention put a check-mate on that plan. We all know US weapons were supplied directly to jihadi groups, and many went into ISIS hands. Notice how quickly ISIS was routed once the US President changed.

Obama is directly responsible for the genocide of Christians in Iraq.

The USAF deserves a lot of credit for this. Ever since the new CIC turned them loose, they have been having at it. My son is working today over there to make sure they have plenty of bombs. He said targets are getting real scarce.

You are absolutely right to compare Obama. He had eight years to gain experience as Commander In Chief. But he had no desire to be a real President.

Now that I think about it, hearing about this might upset Obama’s Kwanza. Bitter Clingers are celebrating Christmas somewhere? Not even masking it with ‘Happy Holidays’?

The NeoCons were perfectly happy to let the Christians in Iraq and Syria be cleansed under Bush.

also note 30-50% of Palistians are christian
