Well its clear that we have dropped food and water to those stranded. But whats next? What else will we do? Obama just recnelty announced that we have authorized air strikes. Im guessing they will be used. Welcome to "mission accomplished".
 
Can't wait to hear how horrible this decision was and how awful a leader Obama is.

Then I can't wait until sixteen pages later, it's shown that the wingnut criticizing Obama called for exactly the same thing a month ago.
 
Republicans have taken August off--Obama not so much.
Next up--SUE Congress for dereliction of duty .

Have zapped anyone yet?
 
First they sue Obama for Executive orders.
Now they want executive orders when they can't get their own bill on the House floor.
Can't wait for that! :lamo
Good thing Obama is the only one in D.C. right now .

When will the mission be accomplished? When they finish the genocide or conversion of all non believers and the black flag of Khurasan flys over a worldwide Islamic caliphate? Go bury your head back in the sand!
 
Care about the 150 American personnel 25 miles from ISIS??
Have zapped anyone yet?
Or just the four dead in Ben--gha--zi.
Certainly not the chickenhawk Bush/Cheney 4,500 soldiers' deaths in IRAQ TWO .

That's right we have people in Irbil.
 
When will the mission be accomplished?
When was Bush's Mission Accomplished and "Bring It On" Speech?
Looks like ISIS is bringing it on eh!

Who undid a stable Iraq a decade ago?
Who supplied Saddam starting in the 1980"s ?

So you want to play the blame game. Does it really matter at this point. ISIS came out of Syria. Remember the Arab spring. Remember Obama's apology tour. Think about how weak the president has made us look to our enemy. WTF did you think they would do? The enemies of freedom are on the march around the world because America is weak. And now we are down sizing our military. We are on the brink and the fool in the white house is trying to play catch up.

Blame always matter to your kind.

Isn't there a House committee wasting tens of millions on that one?

Blatant Irrational Lie--you've just entered the B.I.L. Zone.

The President has been made weak by your GOP kind of back-stabbing on the world stage .
 
Operations led by the US like desert fox were successful and I fully expect this to be very effective in turning the tide.

Hopefully, you are correct.
While I would rather avoid all involvement in the world's stupid wars, sometimes we can be of assistance.
ISIS appears to be a nasty group of thugs, well-deserving of US bombs.
