I sure hope they have the exits blocked first.

They need to kill every last ISIS SOB.

Nape the exits.

If Obama is involved, every goat shed and dog house will get a JDAM while the enemy becomes disarmed, amorphous, and passive farts in the wind. Next month they will rearm, take shape, and make violence with every sunrise. Just with less goats and dogs.

Obama's Jarrettatolla way.

I am pretty sure if nothing else the Iraqi Kurds, especially the Yazidi Kurds, and the Assyrians and the secularists in Iraq have zero qualms with eliminating every last ISIS supporter from the planet. Modern America often seems to not have the stomach for this but let’s at least throw our full support behind people who very much do.

Tikrit had been the center of Sunni resistance. They had been the beneficiaries of Saddaam's rule. Might have to kill everybody there.

Yep, these bugs definitely need to be squashed.

Seem to remember something about Sun Tzu saying to only surround an enemy on 3 sides...

I assume most everyone has read the reports that Iranian advisors and possibly troops are part of this effort. Iran is at war with ISIS. And Iraq is pretty much an Iranian client state at this point. Zero never should have created that situation; but that is the situation on the ground and we have no way to change that.

So, given that, isn’t it interesting that all the ISIS atrocity information started going wide about the time that Iran got into a war with ISIS? Atrocities always get a lot of PR in the US when the US wants to go to war. And now Obama has congress whipped up to start sending military aid and troops to fight ISIS.

If you back way off about the middle east, two sets of thugs are at war to see who will create and control the Califate, ISIS and Iran. Our president is for some strange reason, deeply attracted to Iran and might even be regarded as their ally. (The US isn’t there yet; but the president is, IMO).

I really don’t see much difference between ISIS and Iran, except that Iran has or will soon have nukes. Both are composed of monsters. ISIS, however, is a monster as to the regions it controls. Iran is a monster that threatens the whole world.

So at the 30,000 foot level, hasn’t the president set things up nicely to intervene as Iran’s ally against the main, current Muslim power in the ME that balances Iran’s power? Wouldn’t the US be better off to have ISIS and Iran slugging it out for decades, instead of intervening as Iran’s ally against ISIS?

Just a final note: Is Zero’s budding alliance with Iran the reason that the administration got so hysterical about Netanayhu’s speech? Instead of the nuclear negotiations. And what side deals is Zero making with Iran about the US supporting Iran’s quest and claim for hegemony in the ME?
