While Biden threatens ISIS, he and Obama don’t even meet Kurdish minimal needs.

has no plans to do so in the future.
If you have no strategy how could you have plans?
This is pathetic.
It’s not Bush’s fault any more!!!

I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised. He’s cavalier about ISIS threat to the US. He wants to claim he ended terrorism and the war in Iraq. Reality doesn’t fit his narrative, so he tries to micro manage the response, like LBJ in Vietnam.

You don’t mean the Kurds weren’t heartened by the threat to ‘bring the criminals to justice’?

Sorry, guys, but you don’t get it. Our Golfer-in-Chief did not intend that the aid be effective. It was all p.r. eyewash for consumption by the fawning US news media.

Silly Kurds. Don't they know.....?

There are two heads to this snake that need to be cut off. The one in Iraq is Mosul and the other in Syria is Raqqa.
What do you know...the man has a PLAN on how to defeat ISIS.

How many rounds of golf did the Kurds play to come up with a strategy? Zero!

I have no problem giving heavy arms to the Kurdish peshmerga.
Arm them up and let them take care of business!

I guess that is what happens when your leader has no plan.
It would be nice if, just once, instead of posing for the TV cameras the Obama administration officials could at least try to figure out what they are supposed to be doing.

The immediacy of their situation makes them approach ISIS more seriously than Barry...
Because Barry doesn’t understand the immediacy of OUR situation.

If the Kurds were smart, they would open up some swanky golf courses and offer free rounds and a five star hotel or two to hold lavish fund raisers. They might also consider some Wagu Beef and giant lobster spreads for Moochelle and her traveling entourage of courtiers at the hotels.
That would get 0bama's attention and maybe he could help if they threw in some big campaign cash for The Team.

Apparently, Obama does. The posted article is today's. The link below is to one about two weeks old.

"Give the Kurds anything they want"
And half of it will end being used against the Turkish military as the Kurds try to carve out a homeland in southern Turkey and northern Iraq.
