"The Pentagon says two U.S. fighter jets dropped bombs on Islamic militants in Iraq towing artillery outside Irbil near U.S. personnel.

Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby says two F/A-18 jets dropped 500-pound bombs on a piece of artillery and the truck towing it.

President Barack Obama authorized such airstrikes Thursday when the Islamic state militant group advanced on Irbil, in northeaster Iraq, where U.S. military trainers are stationed."

It's about time. Bomb the fuck out of the bastards. Turn it loose!

DROP DEAD

Islamic State Beheads 15 Members Of Yazidi Family, Women Raped, Babies Dying Of Thirst On Mountain…




Or as Kerry calls it, “warning signs of genocide.”

Via Daily Star:


The Yazidis appear to be paying the heaviest humanitarian price for the ambitions of ISIS, which has declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria and has threatened to march on Baghdad.

“Most of the families were stopped by Islamic State militants while they were leaving and the militants killed men. Some were beheaded,” said Abu Ali, 38, who was hiding with tens of thousands of others on Sinjar Mountain.

“One of the saddest stories was one of our relatives. They beheaded all his 15 family members in front of him and then took him with them.”

Yazidi women were hauled away for forced marriages, or perhaps slavery, as in other towns. “Some were taken to Syria,” Abu Ali said.

Many of Yazidi villages were destroyed years earlier when Saddam Hussein’s troops tried to crush the Kurds. Some were abducted by his security agents. Now they are on the defensive again.

Witnesses reached by telephone said about 100 babies died from thirst in mountains infested by snakes and scorpions. But coming down from the mountains and returning to Sinjar is a risky option.

Kerry Not Convinced: Islamic State Slaughtering Christians And Yazidis Showing “Warning Signs Of Genocide”…




“Warning signs?” Are you kidding me?

Via CNN:


… U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday repeated the administration’s concerns about genocide.

The Islamic State’s “campaign of terror against the innocent, including the Yazidi and Christian minorities, and its grotesque targeted acts of violence show all the warning signs of genocide,” Kerry said Friday during a televised press conference in Kabul, Afghanistan. “The stakes for Iraq’s future could not be more clear,” and “for anyone who (needs) a wake-up call, this is it.”

No, Obama's just stopped being limp.

Actually, he just knows when to properly use his own instead of letting other people handle it.

 

[KingOrfeo]

At least the Kurds and the government appear to be on the same side for the moment.

I did my signing up a long time ago. It's time for younger guys to handle this now.

Not in my opinion. Far from it. But I hope he's ready to turn it loose now, finally. Somehow I think he won't, unfortunately. It doesn't seem to be in his nature.

Considering what a disastrous, destructive and expensive mistake it turned out to be for the U.S. to get into Iraq in the first place, reluctance is perfectly understandable.

of course you would think so. that's because you are a fucking idiot

I think we should have left Saddam Hussein in power, asshole that he was, but we didn't, and we're now responsible for the mess we created. Bush created the mess, and Obama made it worse. Now he needs to clean it up.

John Kerry is the most incompetent SOS in American history. What a fucking douche.

Miles is still upset that President Obama rescinded the de facto veto over American foreign policy that Dubya gave Bebe Hitler.

I agree

In retrospect it was a WORLD CHANGING CALAMITY!

The Kurds are on the Kurds' side. I get the sense they are about done being a minority population in some one else's country. They would much rather have their own country & I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to make that happen in the next few years.

Especially if the region remains as chaotic as it is currently. Turkey, Jordan, Russia, the USoA and even Israel would benefit from an independent Kurdistan, imo.

Obama did not make it worse.

I feel so bad for the ordinary people out there.

Why is it about time?

What is "turn it loose" and why is it a good thing for the US as a nation to do so?

I think we should have left Saddam Hussein in power, asshole that he was, but we didn't, and we're now responsible for the mess we created. Bush created the mess, and Obama made it worse. Now he needs to clean it up.

Why are we responsible for anything over there?? Why does Obama need to clean what up?

Do you think about ANY of this or are you just parroting GOP's cry for moar welfare? Because there isn't a single fucking reason on the planet why we should have even a solitary pair of boots on that ground. We overpaid THROUGH THE FUCKING NOSE to have Israel patrol that hood, bout fucking time we got out dollars worth out of the fucking pieces of welfare loving shit.

None of that explains why the RWCJ has such a boner to get back into Iraq and start wars on 15 fucking fronts on all god damn continents for the next 50 years.

Oh other than their love for that gubbmint tit.

500 lb bombs are not used for taking out a truck and some light armor. They took out a lot of trucks and terrorists.

I personally like 500 lb fuel/air bombs.
