American military forces bombed at least two targets in northern Iraq on Thursday night to rout Islamist insurgents who have trapped tens of thousands of religious minorities in Kurdish areas, Kurdish officials said.
Word of the bombings, reported on Kurdish television from the city of Erbil, came as President Obama was preparing to make a statement in Washington.

“Arch Light.”
I believe you meant Arc Light. In any event, I agree that is what is needed.
Arc Light, unless you’re renaming arch as in triumphal?
Might be Iraqi fighters. They have a few F16s and Sukhoi 25s.
CNN: 100 American advisers in danger from ISIS advances.
shocking! /s
whatever
some of us remember exactly what that was
We need to deploy that strategy again .
Iraqi Air Force, no doubt.
No, that oil will always be a constant cause of tension and strife. Get rid of it all. Almost every country on Earth has reserves they can drill but haven’t.
Obola will F*** it up.

If we screw up that humanitarian drop the food and water could end up with ISIS, so bombing ISIS should be the first thing to happen around the exterior of that mountain, so the Christian refugees actually get the food/water dropped.

Woo hoo!! And the first 40% is in!! Thank you all very much!! |
It’s the Iraqi AF, certainly, but the US was refusing even to give them logistical or materiel support and something has obviously changed. My question is why Bambi is suddenly permitting support for an operation that challenges his beloved Islamists.

Certainly a good thing. Unless we provide arm and resupply to the Kurds, not thru Baghdad, and unless we strike at Isis where we see them in the vicinity, this may only allow many to die with a full stomach. Hopefully I'm wrong. If we were going to act, I wish we had in a more timely fashion. Children dying of dehydration today might have been saved three or four days ago.
It’s a show. ISIS was/will be given plenty of notice of when and where these strikes will happen.
Now maybe ISIS will support impeachment.
Why would Obama want to bomb those he trained and armed.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
DING! DING ! DING!
We have a WINNAH!
Exactly, and a lot of those arms are from the Libyan arsenal.Obama is now fighting a sword he himself created.
What a laugh.Obama is the biggest loser of any president in history. Every secret op he has initiated has gone “out of control,”.....just as Obama the usurper wanted. Our allies no longer trust us in the least, and the Republicans have gone soft in the head, except for a few like Gowdy and Cruz.
Obama send an aerial camel train to show he is helping the Yazidis. Its just a futile gesture for public consumption.Obama should be delivering thousands of tons of ordnance to the Pesh Merga, but Obacide is happening, Obama does not want to make Malik’s life too difficult with an armed independent Kurdistan, Obama would rather see tens of thousands of bodies laying in genocidal splendour.
