I guess I just don’t get it.

There is intel that says who and where the attack is? Just bomb the crap out of them.

ISIS advances in Iraq and Syria while our F/A-18 pilots are ordered by Traitor Team Obama to bomb empty buildings and refugees' grain silos..

Pres. Bush took Baghdad from Saddam then Pres. Hussein gave it to ISIS.

On an earlier thread about the troops in Baghdad, where Obama was claiming that no combat troops had been deployed to Iraq...I posted that their being combat troops depended on whether or not they were getting shot at or not...We shall see...

This is all going as planned. I find it amazing what this nation is putting up with. We don’t seem to have a “ this far, and no farther” moment when it comes to what he is allowed to do.

If they do, they will abandon the largest and most expensive US embassy building in the world.

"Will the United States abandon Baghdad in the next hour, embassy and military personal?"

Count on it. No act of abandonment or cowardice is too shameful for Democrats.
