Bullshit, I don’t believe a stinking word out of the medias mouth(and that includes FOX). They can say what they want, but the fact is they are going to SPIN for Obama saving the day. This whole airstrikes against ISIS stinks, and I am POSITIVE that Obama is involved in something more sinister.

Iran didn’t want ISIS in there, maybe we turn our head for Iran while they build their nukes, we bomb ISIS. Win/win. Something is going on here, a backroom deal was cut, and it is in our enemies best interests. I’m certain of it.

Good news until it’s not. This admin has been so wrong on so many things. Also, these people have to go somewhere and IS has no intention of stopping their advance. It’s only a matter of time until they’re cornered again.

Bologna is right. So now the people who managed to survive (who must be in poor shape physically and mentally) can skip down the mountainside and head back to their homes, with no fear of anyone bothering them, ever again.

How stupid do they think we are?

According to this report there were fewer of them than expected, only a few thousand, and many didn’t want to leave since their homes were nearby. This is a pretty big change from earlier reports.

Yeah... I don’t know that I believe very much of this. I keep thinking of Dustin Hoffman and an Albanian woman holding a cat..... But I do believe that we can defeat Isis without boots on the ground. I do believe we can deter and destroy them with air power and missiles.

Up to 70 percent of them are dead: telegraph.co.uk.worldnews

Fewer than expected because of this, maybe? If obama waits long enough, he can claim no crisis at all because most will be dead.

They don’t need to be rescued.
They’re dead.

You are dreaming, my FRiend. Iraqi armor, in the first Gulf War, was intact after more than a month of sustained bombing. In the case of one Iraqi battalion, it ceased to exist after 15 minutes in contact with an American tank force. Boots on the ground is what gets the job done.

Funny, the good news just happens -

AFTER Obama had been criticized by all (even foreigners) for his golfing/vacation.

Lightbringer does his wonder in mysterious ways.....It’s a miracle.

The rest of the people WHO DIDN”T DIE atop the mountain got to safety, but the ones already murdered-beheded, starved, or kidnapped and raped by their moslem masters aren’t counted as so lucky...

geez...I’m with you...this is not a victory...it’s a massacre!
