They are the same group, sometimes called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (”ISIL”), or, alternatively, the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (”ISIS”).

“...what the hell happened?”

I might easily come up with a bit of sarcasm, but the overall situation is just too depressing.

In fact, I cannot stand to listen to him or see videos or pictures of his smug mug. Whatever I know of the press remarks comes from this thread and the other one floating around in the forum. I gather that this is just a very token effort.

The mission objective is to appear to be doing something while hoping Iraq goes off of the “front page” news as fast as possible.

Barack Obama Deploys Special Forces to Iraq For Training ...

Obama: US sending up to 300 military advisers to Iraq, holding back from airstrikes

When coupled with previously announced steps, Obama’s actions could put about 600 additional U.S. troops back on the ground in Iraq. The 300 military advisers he announced Thursday would join up to 275 being positioned in and around Iraq to provide security and support for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and other American interests.

But he was adamant that U.S. troops would not be returning to combat.

“We do not have the ability to simply solve this problem by sending in tens of thousands of troops and committing the kinds of blood and treasure that has already been expended in Iraq,” Obama told reporters in the White House briefing room. “Ultimately, this is something that is going to have to be solved by Iraqis.”

Sketching a dire situation, Obama called this a moment when “the state of Iraq hangs in the balance” and cautioned that “there’s not going to be a simple military solution.”

“Let’s not plunge this back into the abyss,” he said.
those leaders “must rise above their differences and come together” for the sake of their nation.

Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters that he’s long called on Obama to take more action against terrorism, which he said has “increased exponentially” under this administration.

“You look at this presidency, and you can’t help but get the sense that the wheels are coming off,” Boehner said.

How’d they get him off the golf course? Or did he do the presser on the green?

During the Clinton years, they were called “presstitutes.” I like that one better.

that’s how he really talks without his magic teleprompter that turns him into the most eloquent speaker to ever grace the planet/puke.
