Press secretary mentioned several times there will be NO boots on the ground.
ISIS has 40K surrounded on a mountain. No one is permitted off the mountain. If we try to send in humanitarian help, ISIS is going to use some of our own weapons against us. ISIS will kill two birds with one stone. Take out our aircraft and kill 40K people.
They are going to have to take out ISIS at the same time they sent food and water to them

Obama would rather 40k DIE instead of offering any help. FUBO
It's the principle of his anti-war supporters. No War for Peace!

In Obamaspeak, “mulls” or “considers” means NO! Looks like a death sentence for 40,000 Christians on that mountain.

That’s this Administration in a nutshell. Only thinking about the symbolics instead of realities on the ground.

Thats this Administration in a nutshell. Only thinking about the symbolics instead of realities on the ground.As a Platoon Leader, Obama would have been relieved within six months.
The day after I flunked my first ARTEP (with a platoon assigned to me on the day the evaluation began), I heard noises that I might be relieved within 30 days. Typical Air Defense Artillery, whose motto is "We Eat Our Young".
I learned from that experience. It's not easy being a Platoon Leader for two platoons at the same time. Time management was a beyotch, trying to allocate the same # of hours to each.
Anyhow, from that point on, my attitude was "ok, if my neck is going to be on the line, then stay the hell out of my way." I wasn't perfect, but it worked. I loved the 18+ months I spent as a Platoon Leader.
I can only imagine the fun Obama would have during exercises: while he was mulling his next move, he'd be hit with a sniper attack, or somesuch. No doubt he'd drive his platoon sergeant and squad leaders batty.

That is the UN’s job, not ours. If the UN won’t do it, it just proves that they are what I’ve called them for years- Useless Nothings.

‘Religious minorities’? Aren't they Christians?
You wouldn't be hiding the fact that Christians are being brutally persecuted by your beloved slimes, are you NYT?
