Iraq general: 70% of Yazidis on Mount Sinjar are dead By Rick Moran
An Iraqi general told a reporter for The Telegraph - the only western reporter who has flown over Mount Sinjar - that 70% of the Yahidis oin the rocky hill will die because of the lack of humanitarian aid.
I was on board an Iraqi Army helicopter, and watched as hundreds of refugees ran towards it to receive one of the few deliveries of aid to make it to the mountain. The helicopter dropped water and food from its open gun bays to them as they waited below. General Ahmed Ithwany, who led the mission, told me: It is death valley. Up to 70 per cent of them are dead.
Two American aid flights have also made it to the mountain, where they have dropped off more than 36,000 meals and 7,000 gallons of drinking water to help the refugees, and last night two RAF C-130 transport planes were also on the way.
However, Iraqi officials said that much of the US aid had been useless because it was dropped from 15,000ft without parachutes and exploded on impact.

How many more must die because of Obama and his EXEMPT RINOs?
So tragic. I’ve seen some postings on FaceBook made by Mosul Christians and Yezedi’s and they are posting things like “God Bless America, they are the only ones helping us. Shame on the Arab world”, and I think how pathetic our help has been. What a terrible situation to be in.
Picture of Yezedis to be buried alive: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=679093338842372&set=a.104622386289473.9626.100002251368104&type=1&theater
Another Hussein obama success story
Bush’s fault
I don’t want to just blame this on Obama. I want all those that voted for him to share in this bloodshed.
Obama dithers - people die. Its how he rolls.
Bump
But he said if he was elected he would be working 24/7 for us—no vacations.
This is infuriating. It’s understandable that getting supplies to these people is difficult given the terrain, but the rest and delayed action are unforgivable. Besides, I read France, Britain, Australia, etc. are also trying to get ‘humanitarian’ aid to them. Whilst humanitarian is needed that won’t address the cause. Instead these countries should act directly against IS. The Kurds can do so much & are fully stretched, given their numbers are limited & their weapons are older than IS too.
Unbelievable. History will not be kind to The Obama Years.
I’ll go with 40-50% but not 70%.
Headline doesn’t match the body of the article.
"OK, let 'em drop."
Starting with Rwanda, the left in this country has looked increasingly like the callous eugenics peddlers in league with Iz Lame they really are.
Is it any wonder they want to start another Cold War to give them a marketable excuse whenever they're playing both sides against the middle and don't want to intervene somewhere?
Yeah, but he meant 24 minutes every 7 days.
Who are the idiots who did not use parachutes? Unbelievable.
Amazing, if true.
This is almost exactly what happened seventy years ago this month when Roosevelt and Stalin let Warsaw die at the hands of the Nazis.
And Obama says, “Yeah, so? What’s their handicap? Fore!”
