Full Title: Al Qaeda-inspired militant group vows to march on Baghdad; President calls escalating violence an ‘emergency situation’////

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has taken Iraq's second-largest city Mosul and Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit in recent days and vowed Thursday to take over the capital.

President Obama says additional American assistance is necessary to help the current Iraqi government fight off the threat posed by rampaging Islamic insurgents.

The President, speaking at the White House, offered no specifics as hostilities once again heat up in the nation formerly run by dictator Sadaam Hussein.

But Obama left the door open for a variety of responses: “I don’t rule out anything,” he said, adding that Iraq is “clearly in an emergency situation.”

Obama said he wanted to insure jihadists don’t gain any traction in Iraq, beset by violence since U.S. forces withdrew in late 2011.

He can let a few more bearded savages out of Gitmo. That should appease them.

Really now, anything else the US sends over there for others to use will just be pillaged and used against the US and its allies. Butt out, Kenyan, you’ve done plenty.

“The decapitated heads of policeman and soldiers are lining the streets of Iraq’s second biggest city, a displaced Iraqi woman has revealed today.

Speaking from a refugee camp to which she fled after jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (also known as ISIS) invaded the northern city of Mosul on Tuesday, the woman told of the horrific treatment meted out to those who do not bow to their rapidly expanding rule.

It would appear the occupation of Mosul was made easier by the fact a reported 30,000 soldiers fled, leaving behind tanks and firearms as just 800 fighters approached.”

Looks like the Iraqi army we left behind is the same one that ran away during DESERT STORM.

Except we didn’t cut off their heads and line the streets with them.

and today obama is bloviating about not letting the barbarians “get a foothold?”

Well, well, well.

Taliban Mullah in Chief Obama is finally getting his chance to silence the skeptics of his Obamadrone Military Strategy.

Will the advancing hordes of Islamic Terriorists be held at bay by the mighty attacks from Obamadrones?

Will Taliban Mullah in Chief Hussein Obama prove that he didn’t need no stinking Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq?

Wiil the VA be ready for the sprained finger casualties of the Obamadrone Joystick Pilots during and after this epic, high-tech, razzle-dazzle battle?

Sit back folks and marvel as the old-style boots-on-the-ground bad guys confront the mighty Obamadrones of Obamanation!

MOVING FORWARD!

As you pointed out earlier, Hilly and Hussein are made for each other.

Monkey see - - - - monkey do.

In Fem-speak: monkey see-see - - - monkey do-do.
