Brett Bair on now. Obama about to speak. Bair wonders aloud if Obama is about to evacuate Baghdad, other Iraqi cities.

“political solution”?

Maybe we can drop some ballots on those terrorists.

We are governed by eight year olds.

DITTOES. Catch him while he’s napping. He won’t feel a thing.

What a weak, ineffective POS this fool in the White Hut is. Grow a pair Barry. Moochelle probably has more testicular fortitude than you do.

[defconw]

Mean while over on the Hill the Republicans are all hiding under their desks sucking their thumbs.

I hate the insidious manipulation of his words. ‘Any objective observer would recognize’. So if you disagree with his point of view, you obviously are not an ‘objective observer’. And the LIVs naively buy into the manipulation. I turned it off..... I’m sure I will only hear that this is all GWBs fault and Obama has done NOTHING wrong!

There are no good guys in Iraq & I don’t feel like spending another $2 trillion of our kids’ and grandkids’ money.

[Genoa]

asked his security team to prepare a range of options that could help secure Iraq and that he will be considering these options in the coming days

In other words, forget it.

[musicman]

(You are welcome!!)

[Da Coyote]

Does anyone really give a $&@! what the wimp-O-dork says?

"There are no good guys in Iraq & I don’t feel like spending another $2 trillion of our kids’ and grandkids’ money."

Righto. Plus our lives and care for the injured.

The military solution is the old military expression is to tell them 'tough shit'.

[pabianice]

Per Fox: as the enemy advances on Baghdad they are beheading everyone they find.

[Red Badger]

the U.S. is not going to involve itself in a military action in the absence of a political solution..."

IOW, have at it ISIS! We won't stop you. We are chicken shits.........................

[Genoa]

Here come old flat top, he come movin’ up slowly. . . .

...uh, ladies & gentlemen, the US is watching Iraq carefully and I'd like to just say that, in keeping with our Foreign policy objectives since the early days of this administration, that...uh, er, we're not going to do anything about anything, anywhere and at anytime so, that's that and I am heading out for a golf weekend, thank you very much. Oh, yes, and by the way, this is a “wakeup call” for our allies in that the US, under my reign, will continue to be TOTALLY unreliable. Thanks again...

“Iran is going to take over Baghdad. Period.”

Yep. It sure is a good thing we didn’t cave in to their desire to enrich uranium.....oh wait.

[pabianice]

Per Fox, Obama is now leaving to go to an Indian reservation to talk about minority voting rights.

>>He is assuring ISIL that he will take a while to study the situation and options before ANY action would be taken.<<

An accurate cartoon would have him at the podium with a thought bubble over his head: “So far, so good. Everything is going according to plan.”

Many have indicated that his actions (or more accurately, his inactions) would lead to a resurgence of Islamic Fundamentalism and a loss of any of the gains made by the Bush policies against terrorism, so perhaps it’s working out exactly as he intended, or perhaps as Valerie intended?

Biden has got to be getting awfully confused by all this. And he’s probably most confused by the fact that he’s still only the VP and that Congress is actually standing by and letting all this nonsense play out.

Dear Lord. :(

Especially when confronted by 800 ISIS fighters, many thousands of trained Iraqi troops dropped their weapons and fled.
