But didn’t Obama say George Bush should not have gone into Iraq? Why is it OK for him? There were Americans living there after 9/11, right? And Saddam was killing innocent people. What’s the difference?

Just yesterday he said there is no military solution to what's going on in Iraq, that it required an Iraqi political solution.

Also, remember that there were news reports that air strikes had already occurred, but the White House and Pentagon denied both it.

Well, it seems in his view, war is never the answer, right? Except when it is.

Several hours after denying it, they say they have authorized limited air strikes.

I think some pilots had had enough of seeing children being beheaded and their heads being displayed on pikes, and Obama doing nothing about it, and they decided to take matters into their own hands. I think Obama's after-the-fact "authorization" is just his attempt to cover up a mutiny.

Limited airstrikes means limited ISIS casualties.

U.S. warplanes patrolling the skies over northern Iraq have a "green light" to go after perceived ISIS threats to the Kurdish capital, Irbil, or to minority populations, said deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes.

A subtle expansion of mission from what Obama said last night. A welcoming expansion.

Anything Obama does with the military will be extremely limited.

I don't think he will ever send troops to war. If he does that there will be some this time that will DEMAND to see Obama's birth certificate and the white house knows he does not have one.

The white house got away with covering up the truth about Obama's past the first time but too much has been made public since then I believe even the white house knows if a group of military men challenge his legitimacy as Commander N Chief, Obama is toast.

The truth about this man is going to come out

Could you imagine how beneficial this would have been when those greasy, hooded rapists were driving their Toyotas across the desert?

Not to worry. The current unpleasantries in Iraq will vaporize
as soon as the American MSM realizes that Obama is again stuck
in an over-his-head quandry. They will divert attention to some
new crisis or event and the American public will forget about the
40K Christian civilians and others under the threat of genocide
by the ISIS devils. Obama saved, problem solved.

I wonder how the determination is being made as to what to target? Are we taking suggestions from the Iraqi government? Satellite photos? What?

Or have we inserted some special ops teams to “light up” the targets? Inquiring minds want to know.

ISIS is the same group of “moderate Muslims” as Hillary Clinton and John Kerry called them, that were part of Arab Spring. Assad must be getting a good laugh, now that the USA is helping him fight the same rebels that it had funded.

What this Prez has allowed to happen in Iraq is just jaw dropping and heart breaking. The American people have a share in the blame as well.

The people that voted Democrat imo spit on the US Military,. The Iraqi people and Christ

Did Obama make sure he warned ISIS ahead of time?

Come back after we have dropped 200 laser-guided bombs and missiles. Then I will take our actions seriously.

Where the hell is napalm when you need it?

It appears that most airlines have suspended their flights over Iraq to and from middle east cities. The first radar op until recently was a constant maze of planes flying over Iraq.

The link below will show you the planes flying over Irag:

The link below will take you to the live radar op at Baghdad Airport. Air traffic to and from Baghdad has slowed down to basically Iraqi Air planes.
