WASHINGTON President Obama said on Saturday that the airstrikes and humanitarian assistance drops he ordered last week in Iraq could go on for months, preparing Americans for an extended military presence in the skies there as Iraqs leaders try to build a new government.
I dont think were going to solve this problem in weeks, Mr. Obama told reporters before leaving for a two-week golf-and-beach vacation on Marthas Vineyard. This is going to be a long-term project.
The president repeated his insistence that his administration would not send ground troops back to Iraq after ending an unpopular, decade-long war and withdrawing the last troops in 2011. But two days after emphasizing the limited scope of the mission in a White House address, he pledged that the United States would stand with Iraq if it could form a unified and inclusive government to counter the Sunni militants who threaten its future.

Of course he diddn’t deserve to get the Nobel Peace Prize (even he admiitted that), and when he got it the committee couldn’t dream that instead of peace he would create violence and destruction everywhere he meddled.
Gosh, such moronic comments. Did he just figure it out? Maybe if they hadn't equipped and supported Islamists to overthrow the Syrian government, they wouldn't be having problems in Iraq now. Don't do "with one hand giveth and other taketh.. on second thought, he could invite ISIS to tea or maybe burgers and discuss a resolution.
Yea, my mistake. I wish there was an edit button.
Giggity.
Not satisiefd with leaving his replacement in a bind with the economy, Obama Care, and 1000 other atrocities, he intends to leave the next guy a smoking heap of a world to deal with. If we don’t prevail, it will be interesting to see if Hillary gets to blame Bush for everything.
The air strikes were made by F-18’s and DRONES
We learned in Afghanistan that the pacifist leftist wackos approve of drones.
The protection of the Kurds will be accomplished (attempted) by Drones.
Yes, they will. So will the trolls on FR.
I predict the appearacnce,,,,of CIndy Sheehan at a new encampment near Martha’s Vineyard before the Obie Vacation is over
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!

“Barry is a loser...time to impeach and get a real leader in the WH!”
That is really funny to contemplate. Two years without Obama is two years with Biden. Time for more gaffs than a fishing fleet. Preferable, of course, to BO.

no-no-—my apologies...the entire Obama Administration...no Biden or the rest of them...shut it down - repeal everything he has done up to this point...and hold accountable all of them - including the RINO’s...and press corp for betraying the US Citizen...all of us...
RC: Awesome !
New tagline, ENGAGED !
ok, needs a little work....
There, all set now
We could always nuke it from orbit or something like that.
3 months, to be exact; the amount of time that slaughtered Christians and rampaging jihadists have to be kept out of the headlines until he can get past another election.
There’s a point early on in a campaign where airstrikes make a difference. Then, it’s flat and stagnant. Toss in the potential for the bad guys to acquire missiles and take down a fighter, and it starts to become another type of conflict.
Unless the Iraqi army suddenly develops courage....I don’t see how this really changes anything. I’ll predict by January that the country is split into three countries, and that Jordan is next on the list for invasion. Unless Egypt comes to their rescue....Jordan will last less than a month before it falls.
