Whether he did or not, he is probably just back from, or enroute to a fund-raiser.

The NY Times wrote this to focus test the idea. Their mission is to provide cover and air support for Obama.

I agree. It might be Putin filling the American vacuum and defending Western values against the throwbacks.

Air power could solve a LOT of problems domestically too.

Baghdad (AFP) - A spokesman for the Kurdish peshmerga force said US warplanes on Thursday bombed Islamic State jihadist targets in two areas of northern Iraq.

“F-16s first entered Iraqi airspace on a reconnaissance mission and are now targeting Daash (Islamic State) in Gwer and in the Sinjar region,” Holgard Hekmat told AFP around 2100 GMT.

Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said that reports of US air strikes were false. “No such action taken,” he said on Twitter.

The Kurdish official said: “They just struck the bridge linking Mosul to Gwer. The bridge had been used by Daash to channel reinforcements and ammunition to Gwer.”

Press reports that US has conducted airstrikes in Iraq completely false. No such action taken.— Rear Adm. John Kirby (@PentagonPresSec) August 7, 2014

Agreed. Get the Valerie Jarretts (And J EFFING Kerrys) out of the way and start pounding these terrorist bastards. Enough of the tentative ‘considering’ BS and give go-ahead orders to commence pulverizing ISIS. Sorry, VJ.. Grab more hankies, ladies..

It isn’t us. Could be the Iranians, though.

Don’t stop with HAMAS and ISIS. Go to the roots, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan. Kill them all, EVERY SINGLE ONE, then irradiate the area so nothing can live there for 5000 years.
