WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. fighters dropped bombs on Islamic militants in Iraq Friday, the Pentagon said, carrying out President Barack Obama's promise of military force to counter the advancing militants and confront the threat they pose to Iraqi civilians and Americans still stationed there.

Knowing Obummer, whatever our military is allowed to do, it won’t be enough to make a difference.
do you remember the scenes of B-52 contrails , high in the sky , over Afghanistan , in November 2001 ?
THAT is what we need to see again . And our enemy needs to be subjected to the rolling thunder .
The United States needs to be reminded the world of our unparalleled military might .
What are they actually hitting with those airstrikes? The only photo i have seen it looks like part of the desert.
See #5.
What, another bomb or two? Obanam is such an ars.
See #5,
Obama is working off of that script!
Fuuny thing about Obama, when he has clear discretion he moves in baby steps, when he has no authority he uses mass action with executive orders. Bizzaro world.
remember when clintoon bombed an aspirin factory
The US Navy has been drafted as the air force for ISIS.
There will be a number of awkward deliveries of bomb loads that somehow will go astray, not slowing ISIS in the least, and the murders of Chaldean Christians and Yezidis will continue apace. Even Sunni Muslims, if they are not sufficiently “motivated”, will suffer a similar fate.
This was never supposed to be a Crusade. Somehow, the Islamic jihadist militants never got the memo.
Invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them all (to some other religion BESIDES Islam).
We (Obama) are really getting serious!
Invoking the RTP doctrine in Iraq!
bump
Bombing dirt and sand will get the job done. Wouldn’t want to kill anybody./s
No aspirin factory is safe.
After they bombed the Hell out of Germany. Similar is needed right now!!!...>>>... This incurable Cancer of Islam is spreading rapidly around the world. If you don’t risking being beheaded in the future, there’s only ONE solution. Like in 1944-45 bombing the Hell out of Germany. And as President Truman courageously sent the Japs a few “Warnings” resulting in where these countries are today. Bomb the Hell out of Mecca/Medina until the cancer is uprooted. However, our problem is that we, unfortunately, have allowed an Islamic Jihadist administration out of Kenya to ruin our country and the whole world. There are NO other solutions, or we are doomed, mark my words!!!
“We’re Leaving Behind a Sovereign, Stable and Self-Reliant Iraq!”
Hopey-Changey!!!
I hope our pilots and their commanders take the initiative and identify enough threats to target more than the Obamanation reluctantly gave them authority to hit. This can’t end with just feeding and watering the desperate refugees in the mountains for a few days. A path for their excape must be opened through the terrorists’ territory lest they be salughtered, so IMO more strikes necessary then.
