Barack Obama’s emphatic and repeated promise not to deploy new American combat forces in Iraq now appears to have put the president into an extremely awkward and possibly indefensible position.
Reports from various news sources show that Obama’s limited air campaign against ISIS has failed to stop the aggressive onslaught by the terror organization. And number of military experts have recently criticized the president’s “no boots on the ground” approach as anemic and ineffective.
A senior government official in Iraq is now claiming that up to 10,000 armed fighters for the Islamic State are amassed at the very gates of Baghdad, poised to assault the capital, according to The Telegraph.
Iraqi officials have issued a desperate plea for America to bring US ground troops back to the embattled country, as heavily armed Islamic State militants came within striking distance of Baghdad.
Amid reports that Isil forces have advanced as far as Abu Ghraib, a town that is effectively a suburb of Baghdad…Sabah al-Karhout, president of the provisional council of Anbar Province, [warned that] the vast desert province to the west of Baghdad has now largely fallen under jihadist control.

If they’re all at the gates, then let the bombs drop. Easy target.
Obama doesn’t have an anti-terror plan...he has a pro-terror plan. Obama is a muslim and is doing nothing to stop muslim terror; he is helping them every way he can get away with.
What a mess. A competently negotiated SOFA would have averted most of this.
On the other hand, ultimate blame rests on the failed civilization that is the middle east and Islam.
The problem is more fundamental than either Bush or Obama.
It’s the textbook war college prescription for massed armies. Rolling Thunder strikes.
Well, it was before the war colleges started teaching ROP propaganda. Now we cannot use the B52s because it’s not proportional force and we have to give them an opportunity to kill us equally. It’s only fair.
If you look closely, you will notice that the same names often match up to the more vocal Romneybots.
Cheshire conservatives, The Freeper left...call them what you will. But they share responsibility for the RINOs that assisted Obama in his treason. After all, it was them that insisted on electing RINOs ‘No matter what”.
Well he sure as hell can’t send the mighty Screaming Eagles. As we sit here the 101st Airborne has been deployed to fight Ebola.
RINOs are a means to accomplish conservative ends, given political reality as it actually exists, you pathetic benighted goofball.
Dumbunnies like you are just another obstacle for true conservatives to overcome.
Who would have guessed that the Democrats would hand the Republicans such an October surprise as: We lost a war.
Your side has saying that idiocy for 30 years. Look at the result of your cunning plan.
Own the fail.
“My side” is conservatism that is willing to acknowledge reality. I want to crush the left but I know that means being crafty. I want to beat these leftist a-holes, and to do that we’re going to have to be as shrewd as serpents, like the scripture says. Let’s not sabotage ourselves with brittle perfectionism.
B52 ping
One day I think they only did seven air strikes one day. With 4 confirmed fighters dead.
No doubt they'll come to their senses, soon. Maybe a few more White House press conferences and Hollywood fundraisers will do the trick?
Will the islamists give us the same break?
What anti-terror plan?
And the proper term is counter terror.

Balony! ISIS , and all of its different named affiliates]has accomplished exactly what Obama planned for it to do. He [Obama] underestimated the fighting spirit of the Egyptians that overthrew the Obama goons and took their Country , to a certain extent back. And thus far they have not got rid of Assad. But other that that, ISIS has done pretty well for Obama. They have slaughtered a lot of Christians and that has warmed the cockles of Obama’s heart immensely and the hearts of his disciples even more.
