White House press secretary Josh Earnest has rejected Washington’s plans for bombing militants in Iraq, saying the US has no military solution to the ISIL threat in the country.
"There are no American military solutions to the problems in Iraq," Earnest told reporters on Thursday.
"These problems can only be solved with Iraqi political solutions.”
He added that Washington may choose military action if the country's interests fall in danger.

ISIL thanks Josh Ernest for sharing our plans.

I’m pretty sure this news is, at least, hours old and something more is expected from Obama later. Something weak and vacillating no doubt, pledges and promises devoid of any real action.

What will the response be if the cargo planes delivering humanitarian aid to the refugees crouched on the mountain side in Iraq get blown out of the air by a succession of SAM missiles?

The slaughter may now recommence.
The administration apologizes for the delay and any false hopes of sanity that this may have caused.

ISIL cannot be dislodged short of full on re-invasion of Iraq AND Syria. Americans are in no mood to fight a war on Iran’s behalf.

Not really a surprise.
ISIS derived from Obama’s “rebels” and are allied
with Obama’s Hamas.
America is now firmly behind slavery and genocide
under the undocumented Tyrant and his MSM-puppets.

Odumbo abandoned the Iraqi people and has no intentions of helping them again and it has nothing to do with what is right or wrong.
Way to many of our young people were lost or maimed for life and for NOTHING. I cannot and will not, ever forgive odumbo for his disdain for our military. He best pray to his Allah that our military never turns on him.

All the Kurds need is ammo. Anything less is slavish, nothing less than open support for ISIS and their enablers in Turkey and Qatar. Particularly the Turks, who wouldn't urinate on the Kurds if they were on fire.
God forgive those who elected this monster.

Why would we attack ISIL? We helped to create ISIL. Don’t be fooled - it’s still all about Syria and then Iran.

America is becoming a “Gun Free” zone to the world. In Obama’s mind we are the “great Satan”

Is it “political winds shift” or political wind shifts?” “political winds shifts” doesn’t sound right.
