It's like all the dithering over bombing ISIS in Iraq, of course the Pentagon can't do what Caliph Obama says he'll allow. How the hell could the Pentagon be sure not to hit the the very same people we arm and fund in Syria?
For all the Pentagon knows some of the people in Iraq are people we fund and equip in Syria who are just in Iraq for a couple of days R&R practicing their beheading technique. Caliph Obama wants to be sure that none of his Muslim Brotherhood "Freedom Fighter" pals would be killed by attacking targets in Iraq and no one can give him that assurance.
Besides, how many people really care if Orthodox Christians are slaughtered? YouTube and US churches are neck deep with garbage about how Catholics and Orthodox aren't even Christian anyway so what the Hell, why bother with a few tens of thousands of "those people" being slaughtered?
Why would Egypt and Tunisia, the first victims of the Obama-Sponsored Arab Spring, confide in the homo's administration?
The "Great Game" is afoot again, with Russia supplanting us as the leading influence in the parts of the MidEast and Africa fighting Sharia governments.
Quite unlikely, is it not; Russia as Protector of Western Christian Civilization? (Cynically, or not!)
