Kudos To Obama
Let me be the first to say, kudos to Obama for stepping up and authorizing air strikes, which have begun, against ISIS. :ThmbUp:
Better late then never, but it's a start.

The Iraqi army should have been all over ISIS in the first place.
The fact that they weren't was probably because they were not willing to die for Shia Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has made Sunnis and Kurds second class citizens.
After all the U.S. spent millions of dollars training the new army, which had aircraft, tanks, and first class artillery.
Obama was astute in not jumping in with boots on the ground - waiting to see what the Iraqi army would do and should be doing.
He wouldn't be in there today either except his hand was forced by the savagery that is about to take place on the Kurds and the fact that al-Maliki isn't keen on losing soldiers for the Kurds.
If a more all inclusive Iraqi Prime Minister was in power, there would be no need for Obama to act. |

It must warm the hearts of his supporters to know that the first public high fives came from McCain and Graham.

I bet these airstrikes are temporary and are too little too late. He should have struck before they took Mosul.

He should of did this when they where a small rust bubble under the finish. Now that the fenders have rusted off... 0bama pulls out some Duck Tape to try and smooth it over.
Kudos indeed.

Not at all.
Despite the outright lies the ass clown is telling his gullible zombies, the intel was there for a long time. The time for effective action has long since passed.
But fear not, I heard he birdied the 8th today.

No, I don't think he's that good on the greensward, either.

I think its time to give him a pass, he is just coasting till 2016. Focus on doing our part by voting is the more constructive path. So he ordered airstrikes, the pressure to do that must have been enormous when the safe play is often to do nothing.

kudos
When I saw the title of the thread I thought Obama admitted he is in over his head and resigned,but I guess not.

Maybe we would be more inclined to give them is he was not months late to the party and then lied about it. You buy anything this ass clown says, no matter what the facts are, don't you?
We KNEW all along - HE was told along.
HE did NOTHING all along.
This mess is HIS. HE owns it. |

One of the most rabid and outspoken Obama fans in the media has been Andrea Mitchell. When Mitchell calls BS on him, you know the honeymoon is over.
Quote:
Top NBC reporters Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell turned on President Obama over his excuses for Iraq’s unravelling on Sunday, with Todd claiming he never tried to secure a 2011 troop agreement with the Iraqi government and Mitchell calling the White House’s bad intelligence excuse “a farce.”
The pair unloaded on the Obama administration during Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” calling it aimless and needling its excuses for the sudden surge of ultra-violent jihadis in northern Iraq.
Mitchell slammed President Obama for his other excuse — that the sudden collapse of American allies, the Kurds, against Islamic State fighters was an unforeseen surprise.
“And to say that he didn’t have intelligence — this is not a hard target, this is [Kurdish capital] Erbil,” she laughed. “We have people there.”
“The fact is, there was intelligence,” she declared. “And to say that they were shocked by the [Kurdish] Peshmerga [fighters], on Saturday night, being routed is a farce!”
