His remarks about Ferguson, Mo., and the Michael Brown incident got most of the attention, but the president’s comments on Iraq may be much more important in the long run — and certainly more depressing. The president has never recognized and still refuses to accept the threat posed by the Islamic State. ~snip~
That is it. Apparently the U.S. military is now a highly sophisticated branch of the Red Cross. No mention of the ongoing threat from the Islamic State. No explanation for why it is in the interest of the United States to stop an Islamist state...snip... If ever Hillary Clinton wanted to express her more hawkish thinking and show she is more than a cipher, now would be a good time to speak up.So the bottom line is, is that the situation on the mountain has greatly improved and Americans should be very proud of our efforts. Because of the skill and professionalism of our military and the generosity of our people, we broke the ISIL siege of Mount Sinjar, we helped vulnerable people reach safety and we helped save many innocent lives.
Because of these efforts, we do not expect there to be an additional operation to evacuate people off the mountain and it’s unlikely that we’re going to need to continue humanitarian airdrops on the mountain. The majority of the military personnel who conducted the assessment will be leaving Iraq in the coming days.
And I just want to say that as commander in chief, I could not be prouder of the men and women of our military who carried out this humanitarian operation almost flawlessly. I’m very grateful to them. And I know that those who are trapped on that mountain are extraordinarily grateful as well.

Hillary makes a call to the Waffle House at 3 AM.
PURE HORS7IT! Those people walked off the mountain on their own from what I understand. Who is telling the truth these days? Listing to what odumbo expounds is certainly not a good source.
Obama: We have stopped ISIS and they are now on the run. BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Yep, running straight toward the US. Statement sounds vaguely familiar to his statement about AlQaeda.
It certainly sounds as if IS is repositioning itself for another run at the Kurds, having already done horrendous damage to the minorities and Christians. Some Obama victory, huh?
What is this “we” crap? I recall Obummer doing as little as possible only under duress.
When A U.S. President IS Muslim Brotherhood, bad stuff happens in the Middle East and around the world
Now, we have an excellent insight into cui bono, or who benefits from all of the past lies and bs about what has happened and is happening in Arab lands.
This should be read by any us with questions about what has and is happening in the Arab lands.
