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.

This is SO uncharacteristic for Obama. You can see he is squirming and keeps shining his Nobel Peace Prize asking himself, “how can I bomb anybody, gee whiz, they might take this award away from me”.
Obama chastises Israel for bombing ISIS types (HAMAS) in Israel's backyard yet he sends US fighters 15,000 miles away to hit Jihadis who should have wiped out a year ago.

Double standard...

[Cowgirl]

Hey news media, I would think you could mention the Christians who are being slaughtered. Oh I get it, the bombs are just about Yazidis, not those Christians.

[jospehm20]

Obama looks gay doing anything.

[Netz]

Christians?? They’re just fleeing for their lives from the entire Middle East except...ISRAEL!

[angry elephant]

But in one of bummer’s recent statements he said that Bibi had higher poll ratings than he did and Bibi was lobbying all those missiles at Gaza.

[angry elephant]

lobbing missiles, not lobbying.

[MarMema]

I know. I enjoyed watching him squirm as he made the announcement.

I still love it. Only good ISIS is a dead one.

[Daffynition]

LOL

Woof! Hussein supremacy = Wag the dog!

[Daffynition]

Amen to that.

Obama also told Thomas (the NYT’s KAPO Jew) Friedman that the only way Israel would make concessions is if the Israeli DEMOCRATIC populace apply pressure to him. In other words, Obama is calling on the Israeli voter to force Netanyahu to cave in the HAMAS demands. This is not the first time Obaam has called on the Israelis to push Netanyahu aside so he (Obama) could get on with the business of weakening Israel. He did this on his last visit to Israel as well. All this means is that Obama and his administration have little sway in applying direct opressure on Israel.
Facts are, NOBODY RESPECTS OR IS LISTENING TO Obama right now, not even reliable allies like Israel. Israelis know Obama is working for the Muslim Brotherhood.

The attacks on the Mahdi’s forces are mere pinpricks anger them and the aid to the Yazidis stranded on Mount Sinjar are drops in a bucket. ISIS in it’s anger may concentrate on wiping out Mount Sinjar.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Four?

This is Obama's version of "shock and awe." /S

[itssme]

oboma is Sunni..he sides with our enemies...I have visions of the type of punishments that should be administered to this traitor...like a wood-chipper for instance. No jail time for these enemies, obama, jarrett, etc. Just the wood chipper, one minuscule piece of their flesh for every man, woman & child who have suffered & died because of their evil, traitorous way. We have a Stalin/Hitler/ISIS-Sunni sympathizer/Jew hater in OUR White House. obozo is Sunni & won't kill one of his own..notice how it pains him to bomb them. When this is all over, when we Conservatives win back the White House, our Constitution, liberty & freedom, wood chipper punishment is the word, for every traitor in our govt. These are the thoughts that run thru me head when I am so enraged and frustrated over the fact that our enemy IS our GOVT in OUR White House...they cannot be destroyed fast enough to suit me.

i would recommend EVERYONE listen to this interview Savage had with Walid Shoebat yesterday, this guy knows his sh*t, imho and also his website is always the RAW truth, he reveals a lot of different info/videos and usually the first to reveal such things that you will NEVER see in our media!

Listening now.

[lee martell]

Uhmmm...Is John Kerry at the podium, holding two gigantic petrified turds? The next question would be, for what purpose?

[Netz]

I think we can leave out the wood chipper part. Saddam Hussein used to put his enemies through machines of that sort so let's calm down ok?
The fact that the government is currently being led by a weak and traitor-like administration should only double our efforts to put up a solid, Republican (or other) candidate that can lead us to a landslide Conservative victory in November 2016.
There is no doubt that Obama seems to be siding with our enemies, time and time again. This is not just a happenstance set of actions on his part. He believes is “fundamentally changing America” as he promised. The problem is that half the voting public did not understand that this meant an Islamic FIUNDAMNENTALIST change...

[itssme]

Note that I stated that when I get frustrated & angry over the state of events, I have ways of letting off steam, and thoughts of punishing obozo comes to mind. Hence the mention of the wood chipper, so don't be concerned about my “calming down.”

Otherwise, your commentary reflects that of my own.

[Netz]

OK, we’re all frustrated, angry and deeply worried where the nation and the world is going (to Hell in a handbasket).
We must STOP Shrilliary Clintoon and we must put a REAL leader in the WH ASAP.
