President Obama said Thursday that United States military aircraft had dropped food and water to thousands of Iraqis besieged by Islamic militants on a mountaintop in northern Iraq.
Speaking from the State Dining Room at the White House, the president said he had directed the United States military forces to conduct targeted airstrikes on the militants if they moved to take Erbil, threatening the American citizens and military personnel there.

That’s because we have a “limited” president.
Quoth Obonbon:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Not going to happen. Even shiites are not that nuts.
That is a fact hidden by the fog of war by the MSM to protect its king.
Add in a few ark light missions too.
Congress? “Present” also.
And so, another Democrat gets us into a war on the installment plan. Will he be personally selecting targets from the White House (sorry, from the golf course) the way that LBJ did?

he’s feeding the beseiged so they can be well fed before they’re beheaded.
That Obama, as decisive as ever.
Yes these are the people we shuttled arms to thru Benghazi where 30 cia operatves were at work when Steven and 3 other brave men were killed.
We helped to created this monster with our taxpayers dollars.
Of the many weapons we gave them there were also stinger missiles and I would bet that one of those were use when 30 special forces were killed when Extortion 17 was shot down. Maybe this is why the Government has made that investigattion so clouded.
Your Goverment at work, Obamas Transformative Foreign Policy.
And you cant ever be allowed to tell the truth because thr Regime and the New Ameican Pravda will not tolerate any misalignment to their political ideology, facts be damned.
Not to worry. Kerry says they’ll be incredibly small. They’ll probably send in a squadron of 1/72 scale Revells.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner strikes again!
oh and a vote from the UN !
Obama’s Illegal War !!!!!!!!!!
I am sure the left will be marching in the streets to protest this illegal war!!!

The President is enforcing or perhaps even establishing the new borders of the nations emerging from the former Iraq.
Once the understanding is reached for the Kurdish border, the pressure will switch to the south and a de facto border between the Sunni and Shia areas north of Baghdad.
Then, Allepo will be taken and perhaps part of Lebanon.
There, NY Slimes. Fixed.
Our _resident has drawn his rainbow line in the mud.
Look out now ISIS, next you will get an all CAPS letter.
Once again, “present”
Surprise is, he didn’t order airstrikes in SUPPORT of ISIS.
Bernard Shaw is hiding under his desk already..
Those low poll ratings got under his skin.
