WASHINGTON—The U.S. military launched four airstrikes Saturday in northern Iraq designed to defend members of the Yazidi religious minority who were coming under attack from Islamic extremists, U.S. officials said.
American aircraft also conducted a third airdrop of food and water for thousands of Yazidis stranded on Mount Sinjar, officials said. One C-17 and two C-130 aircraft dropped 3,800 gallons of drinking water and 16,128 meals, and were supported by U.S. fighter aircraft.

In the first, U.S. fighters and drones struck one of two Islamic State armored personnel carriers seen firing on Yazidi civilians near the town of Sinjar, and destroyed it.
In the second strike following soon after, U.S. forces struck three more Islamic State vehicles—two more armed carriers and a technical vehicle.
In the third strike, U.S. aircraft located and fired on two additional carriers and an armed truck, and were successful in destroying the intended targets.
In the fourth strike, the U.S. located and struck another armed personnel carrier near Sinjar, with indications that the strike was successful in destroying it, military officials said. All aircraft safely exited the area, the officials said.

Didn’t Obama and Kerry claim that ALL conflicts could be resolved by talking with our enemies?

Tough to remember the exact quote, but Kerry said something to the effect that we would all be harmony if we just all rode pink little girl’s bikes.
Four? Do you know how many missions were flown during World War II?
I could hardly stop laughing.

He must be chain-chewing Viagra gum on his dates with Jar Jar Binks.
Just thinking about such an undertaking is a deadly boner-killer.
We don’t have armed drones up there that can loiter much longer than those FA-18’s from the USS George Bush?
And each mission over Europe could have thousands of bombers, I have read some of that.
Rashad asks Obama for Valery’s “hand” in marriage; “How Much Is That Dowery In the White House? The one with the unbelievable tales. I do hope that Dowery’s for sale!”
Maybe, but the Rockies are probably going to surround themselves with Yazidis, and they'll be bombed, too.
No telling how many Yazidi were squashed by air-dropped pallets
What did Johnny K. play, the Acoustic Troubadour version of “Kung Fu Fighting?”
