So why weren’t they bombed as they were approaching Baghdad?
Exactly! This is desert not jungles.
The only answer is Obama is playing politics (does not want Iraq entanglements) AND he is sympathetic to ISIS’s cause. I believe it has to be an AND because how could even a pacificist allow a Nazi-style entity like ISIS to just take over countries. I know he made political commitments to stay out of Iraq etc but that alone doesn’t sufficiently explain it for me.
