While everything else is going on, Obama's "Operation-We-Won't-Name-It-Because-That-Would-Sound-Like-War" is proving to be ineffective at stopping ISIS. Big surprise, that. (NOT)

Hope... Change... I am The One you have been waiting for...

And all that Bs.

This is what the western ISIS recruits are used for. If they can’t speak arabic, they get put into a suicide role.

Didn't you hear? Obola’s military response is called, “Operation Chicken$hit”.

And so the assault on Baghdad begins.

They shot down an Iraqi helicopter with a Chinese MANPAD, and now they’re within a few miles of the Baghdad airport.

ISIS has nearly surrounded the city. Soon they’ll be fighting house-to-house on the outskirts. Once the Iraqi military throws down their weapons and flee, it’ll all be over but the flag-raising.

All with Obama’s approval, of course, with the fig-leaf of a tiny number of airstrikes on ISIS to give him political cover at home.

let’s see, we just threw away a half a billion dollars worth of airplanes in Afghanistan, and by the end of the month we will lose a three quarters of a billion dollar embassy in Baghdad. This is starting to get expensive.

Boy, that’s just great for Iraqi unity—Sunnis blowing up Shias. Or was it advance-guard ISIS martyr-provocateurs softening up the city?

Now he will have three super-equipped armies: ISIL, DHS and alpha agencies and the once proud US Armed Forces.

“And after Baghdad.....onward to Tehran”

I disagree. Amman will be next, then Kuwait City.

VTI, “Starting to get expensive.” mMMm Yep

The US Embassy in Baghdad is the diplomatic mission of United States of America in Iraq. It is the largest and most expensive embassy in the world, is nearly as large as Vatican City. and employs 15,000 people. The embassy formally opened 2009. In February 2012, weeks after the final departure of US Military forces from Iraq, the State Department announced that the staff would be greatly reduced due to budget concerns and a re-evaluation of diplomatic strategy in Iraq, in light of the military withdrawal.

The State Department, $115 million to upgrade the the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. The 104-acre compound, its biggest and most expensive in the world will upgrade the data hall, electrical/telecommunication system and support systems.

Only after they hit NYC first.

And in the meantime, the bearded barbarians continue pouring into our country as if we have a shortage of them.
