WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. fighters dropped bombs on Islamic militants in Iraq Friday, the Pentagon said, carrying out President Barack Obama's promise of military force to counter the advancing militants and confront the threat they pose to Iraqi civilians and Americans still stationed there.

When do we start seeing video of all the poor ISIS children brought to hospitals in the style of hamas or the so-called plo? Certainly we must be maiming and killing innocent children. They certainly have cameras enough with all the heads hanging everywhere.

What gives?

Speaking about ISIS in January, Obama said: The analogy we use around here . . is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant.

No a better analogy is, it makes them like, Vlad the Impaler

We bombed a towed piece of artillery and the truck pulling it.

Just like the President said, we should use other weapons besides our military. Let’s send Nancy Pelosi over there to chase them like she chases Republicans. We could send Paleface Lizzy Warren over there to lecture them. We can send Bill de Blasio over there to improve their diet. Harry Reid can scold them while he steals from them. Dianne Feinstein could make them stop calling her “Ma’am”. Every homosexual in the US could go over there and have a group wedding. Al Gore could take them polar bear hunting.

Have you ever seen a bigger pile of nothing than the leaders of the Democrat Party? They could screw up an automatic car wash.

Well it looks like the CVN-77 George Bush aviators are now
getting some live target practice. Where back into the 1990's
mode of operations in northern Iraq. Lets see where things
go this time around.

You have such a way of making the point so only a complete dummy doesn’t get it. Thanks as usual.

The president cast the mission to assist the Yazidis as part of the American mandate to assist around the world when the U.S. has the unique capabilities to help avert a massacre...oh, sort of like we did in Iraq back in the days when Saddam was running 100k or so of his own people through the plastic shredders each year.......
