Thank you for posting this. I would not be surprised if Obama is “forced” to do more than he planned on last night. Someone or something is pushing him to do this.

So, I guess we know how to destroy our own equipment.
It’s good to protect the Kurds. It is good to kill ISIS.
Prayers up for the safety of our airmen.

Are these carrier based or land based strikes?

Obama knew he would be blamed by history for letting Iraqi kids die on Mount Sinjar and Irbil falling while he went on his Martha’s Vineyard vacation without doing anything.

So, I guess we know how to destroy our own equipment. CNN was saying last night that ISIS had acquired all kind of good stuff when the Iraqi Army deserted.

Obama is not responsible for any of this, that or things to come over there.
He’s more than happy to let the DoD take credit*.
*Taking credit for that which does not bathe the Democrat party and the “Commander-In-Chief” in negative light while assigning blame to Republicans for that which does, is the exclusive right of Barack Obama, State-run media and the Democrat party.

Mostly I want to be optimistic about this move, but am unsure. It sounds like a good start. Though I don’t want to hear or read, in a year, 2, 5 or ever about another Islamic (arab ‘any’ season, shia, etc..) this or that rising its ugly head once again. So jury is out for awhile. Wait & see.
