That was my favorite of the war... “Baby Milk Plant” spray-painted on a broken piece of plywood, propped up against a bombed-out mosque/weapons storage building.

And it was in English.

I gather you didn't read the article.

A senior administration official said that the humanitarian effort would continue as needed, and that he expected further airdrops. “We expect that need to continue,” he said.

The BBC announced today that the UK will also be airdropping food and water.

[McGruff]

This is what Iraq should be looking like today.

WTF?

Obama to Iraq: Your Problem Now June 13, 2014 (about one month ago)

I did read the article. I was merely noting that 8,000 MRE’s per day for 40,000 people isn’t sufficient. If they ramp it up every day or if the UK is airdropping more (as you pointed out), then they’ll be fine.

Thanks for the added info.

- Napalm

- Fuel-Air bombs

- Nukes

- Balack Hussein Ebola Junior is planning on buying expensive mid east oil for the USA and building up the Caliphate and strengthing Islam to invade/attack America to take our oil, coal, natural gas

- Vlad Putin knows this and has his own huge problems with the crazy Muslims (Boston Marathon anyone? - More than a few radical terrorist Muslims in the Ukraine.) as do the ChiComs - Putin recently mentioned “pragmatic solutions” which Hussein Tu ignored.

but Obama might bomb the Yazidi and drop food to ISIS

we’ll have to wait and see

Obama is an idiot. This entire mess is a result of his incompetence. Actually, it’s worse than that. It’s a direct result of his “electioneering” which is tantamount to treason.

This entire mess is a result of his incompetence

You're being kind and gentlemanly putting it into those terms.

I'd conclude the "incompetence" is really cover for the intentional infliction of DESTRUCTION on the America way.

Obumbler's "CHANGE" is to fix what was never broken.

[Monorprise]

Hopefully our good Generals can stretch that ‘order’ to the limit.

"Bernard Shaw is hiding under his desk already.."

LOL! I remember watching CNN that night. He was on the phone live from his hotel room while the bombs were falling. He said he was calling from under the bed. I'm sure Peter Arnett was right there next to him.

Christians are being murdered all over the world while Obama sides with the Muslims.

The amount of blood on his hands ensures him a special place in hell.

Why are Christians in Iraq more valuable than Christians in Nigeria?

[JohnBrowdie]

I think the air strikes are there specifically to keep slaughtered Christians and Iraq out of the headlines until after November. think : Afghanistan surge. he used that to keep Afghanistan out of the headlines for a couple of election cycles - having absolutely no interest in actually winning there.
