Iraq is starting to resemble Serbia exactly 100 years ago today.

He's calling this attack on ISIS "An attack on Iraq". Does that mean he considers Iraq belonging to ISIS?

I know Obama supported ISIS in Syria... so I guess he wants them to win in Iraq too. Wonderful.

Maybe he’s worried that bombing Syria will increase global warming.

Well at least they’re heading east. They will be dropping any ordnance in the precious Mediterranean.

What he’s doing is already considering ISIS the victors and new rulers of Iraq, but no surprise there-this is what happens when we have blatant hardcore traitors in the highest levels of government.

That’s what it sounds like. Since Obama failed to score an ISIS victory in Syria, he’s going to push for one in Iraq... which should make it possible for them to try again in Syria later.

It’s simple: We’re in with ISIS if they’re in Syria, trying to overthrow Assad. But we’re against them in Iraq, where they’re trying to establish a caliphate. But we’re for them if our enemy Assad bombs them. See?
