We need to do some “humanitarian” carpet bombing at the same time.

We were told that the US was not at war with Islam — but Islam is at war with us, and the rest of the civilized world.

Airdrops only effective in defensible areas.

Who will defend these areas?

The Berlin Airlift, 1948–1949, took several months.

The psycho, criminal Islamists are crowded together. A few MOABs will solve the ISIS problem in short order.

Big difference, we had troops on the ground in Berlin to distribute the goods.

Just dropping them is asking for trouble as people fight over the goods.

The Obama airlift. Quiche, a fine Merlot, roasted oysters, Lemon Chiffon pie and a healthy salad.

Opps. Sorry. That is the White House dinner menu.

MRE’s for the masses in Iraq. They are actually good, according to my son who ate one a day during operations in Iraq. Sandstorm of biblical proportions stopped all ground supply operations, even in the 100 mile long convoy he was driving in. MREs came through.

The only thing Obama is going to drop is the phase, “Drop Dead” to our Kurdish allies and refugee Shiites and other ethnic minorities fleeing from the Hitlerian ISIS.

Shades of the Cambodia/Laos/S. Vietnam sell-out by the Democrats, esp. the racist from Arkansas, Sen. Fulbright, Sen. Church, Sen. McGovern, and the reds in the House, when they cut funding for all US air ops in Indochina after August 1973. Gave Hanoi and the Khmer Rouge the red light to go on the offensive, just as Obama’s sudden withdrawal from Iraq has given ISIS the “green light” to launch their religious genocidal offensive.

Obama: GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES AND COWARDICE!

I hope we included AKs and ammo so these people can defend themselves.

Better late then never I guess. It has been going on for about 2 months already. So we know now that Obama has a 2 month decision time response. The perfect person to be in charge of the football.

I hope this story is true. It can’t be soon enough, for water and food.

Shocking the WH spxmn, Earnest Josh, didn’t know anything about this action, but stood there like a loon saying the administration was, “concerned”, and watching this development.

With that food, they should also be dropping ammo for the Kurds.

Let’s hope there’s a few pallets of grenades and other ammo to kill ISIS with, because they are going to want those MRE’s.

So after the Islamists finish the slaughter they can eat. Killing is simply famishing.

It is the least Obama could do. And I really mean the least.
