Isn’t it amazing? All he had to do was keep a small force there working with the Iraqi military and continue to work with the Iraq leadership to bring more opposition into the government and this would never have gone down this way.

Could do some damage to the Democrats in the run-up to the elections. Big question - how did ISIS get so powerful in the first place? Was Obama asleep at the switch? If Obama had acted in a timely manner, could all of this been avoided?

This ‘bombing’ is Obama’s “aspirin factory”, designed to try to bolster the democrats ahead of the mid-terms. He’ll find a few isolated targets, when he should done this while they were enroute to the cities and no wait until they got embedded. In true jihadist fashion, they’ll be hiding behind civilians.

Barry has tried so hard to be the “anti-Bush”, but it’s backfired on him, and he’s repeating all the things he blamed Bush for...and much worse.

Yazidi Member of Iraqi Parliament “Fiyan Dakheel” (of the Kurdistan Alliance) collapses in tears after calling upon Humanity to rescue the Yazidis from Genocide. The Iraqi Parliament came together on 5 August 2014 to discuss the latest developments inside Iraq.

(Video at link)

Obama has become a mouse that tried to roar and he barely even squeaked, he suffers from a horrid leftist ideological disease which threatens our nation and international order.

The West should be fighting ISIS with all we have got, and Obama is not even forming a coalition of states to stop these MSM hidden crimes against humanity.The MSM is just NOT covering this. Meanwhile WWIII looms over the world. Its 1925 all over again.

Obama is just paying lip service to stopping these barbarians. Obama needs to be pilloried.He should be organizing a coalition to stop them, but now he has no friends in the ME, except the Muslim Brotherhood. We cannot allow this to continue.

..makes sense not to start a new war before finishing the current one.

Someone should clue the Golfer in Chief that wars are not ended by facing the "enemy" and pronouncing 3 times "I win" as one would in the ṭalāq divorce where the husband pronounces the phrase "I divorce you" (in Arabic, talaq) to his wife, three times.

Not dragged. We will go yippity-skippity into a war, because the genius pulled the troops out too early so he could say he “ended the war.”

Too bad there is no person, force, or organized political community called "Humanity".

I'm still wondering how the wonderful Iraqi Army, with all of its training and equipment, was so rotten it fell apart at first contact with ISIS, while Assad still holds out.

The Sunni Muslim was financed by illegal overseas contributions in the millions from Qatar and other Muslim front groups. Barry is a Sunni Kenyan Muslim.

this phony air strike is a pathetic diversion.
It was meaningless.
A pin prick.

He gave this terrorist group the weapons in Syria.

The entire disaster in Benghazi was a CIA - Barry - Hillary operation to funnel weapons to this terrorist group now in Iraqi.

This is no coincidence.

scary stuff.
