More than 150,000 people have been forced to flee Iraq's second city of Mosul after Islamist militants effectively took control of it.

Troops were among those fleeing as hundreds of jihadists from the ISIS group overran it and much of the surrounding province of Nineveh.

Iraqi PM Nouri Maliki responded by asking parliament to declare a state of emergency to grant him greater powers.

The US said the development showed ISIS is a threat to the entire region.

Better yet, give ISIS whatever it needs to snuff his sorry ass, and watch him rear on on his piss-soaked hind legs and flee to his Iranian master.

sand88, yes, the Iranaian uprising in ‘09 is a prime example of O’s true beliefs.

As freedom loving Americans, our governemnt should have assisted that revolution to rid Iran of the tyrannical mullahs.

Instead, O left them to rot on the vine, and the Green Revolution collapsed.

Iran is our sworn enemy since 1979.It is the major source of tstate sponsored terrorism, including using their weapons and troops directly against us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Since O’s sympathy is with Islam, he did not act against the mullahs, which represent the triumph of the seventh century over the 20th century in Iran.

People in America cannot keep disregarding what is plainly happening in front of their noses—Obama is actively working against the interests of America and directly FOR the forces of terrorism and for Islam.

That is the Obama Doctrine.

That is the doctrine of treason, and the Democrats are now part and parcel of that treason.
