    yeah because america is so "helpful" when we drop depleted uranium shells in civillian populations. Has anyone calling for more "help" seen the figures on birth defects in Iraq? I wish i could look it up and link it, damn flip phone. I remember reading that the birth defect rate is higher than Hiroshima after we dropped the Abomb. Dropping bombs is not helping, I would actually rather see troops on the ground than another round of dirty bombs. I'd rather see us mind our own business for once, but Team America World Police has always got some more democracy spreadin to do...maybe this time it will end with rainbows and unicorns, and a well ordered democratic state...aww shit time to wake up!

    President Obama on Iraq during campaign:
    Here is the truth: fighting a war without end will not force the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future. And fighting in a war without end will not make the American people safer.

    I already can hear people saying yeah but this isn't a war it is air strikes, to that I say tell it to the people being bombed, I bet it feels like war to them.

    WHY CAN'T WE STOP DOING THIS SHIT?
    that’s right! Can’t we all just get together and focus on our real enemies: monogamous gays and stem cells… - Ned Flanders

    How long before we put troops back on the ground?

    I think about thirty days ago. Obama said they would only do airstrikes only when Americans were in danger. The first airstrike occured 220 miles away from Baghdad, which is where POTUS said the advisers would stay. I suspect northern Iraq will become a "Where's Waldo?" of Americans for the next six months.

    POTUS needs to be direct with these guys instead of pussyfooting around like he did in his televised speech last night. They should have sent Liam Neeson out there for the speech.

    If you leave Iraq now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

    Versus heads on spikes under the current situation? Or a huge 2 mile dam failing and wiping out 500,000 people?

    It is medieval what ISIS is doing. I don't want us to go back in either but I'm not sure I see an alternative. These guys do need to be stopped.

    Also, when it comes to Iraq, the disastrous decision to invade back in 2003 broke that country. We removed Saddam and created the vaccuum in which all this shit is happening. Those of us who were against that decision argued that we would never be able to walk away, that we would be involved there for generations to come. We are seeing the proof of that argument now.

    We are largely responsible for the situation in that country. I'm not sure doing nothing as ISIS rolls through all resistance is an option for us. And I am horrified by that.

    FUCK THESE MOTHER FUCKERS!!! I wish we could wipe them off the face of the earth...ALL OF THEM!!! This is not a race issue, this is not an Islam issue, this is a group of monsters that are well financed and spreading fast. These guys are so nuts even Bin Laden didn't want anything to do with them.

    ISIS is systematically beheading CHILDREN!!!!!!

    VICE News reporter embedded with ISIS. Warning: near the end of the video, there is footage of heads on spikes. Like shitload of Game of Thrones-like heads on spikes.

    Serious question. I just returned to shift work and working night shift after a 6 month span of straight days. I haven't been keeping up on Iraq. I vaguely remember hearing that ISIS took control of a power plant. Why are we involoved??

    I hear a vote made by congress before they reautorizing legislation from 2002? Wonder what THAT was?

    We have no business there even though it's mostly our fault that it's happening.

    whatever its worth, these ISIS ISIL what the fuck ever , are hardcore. They are clear in their objective and appear to have the strength of will to do whatever is necessary to achieve that goal. Rules of engagement do not apply for them and as such rules of engagement shouldnt apply in dealing with them.

    If some of the baddest of the bad are saying these guys are fucked up even for them , then acting with extreme prejudice is the only option. Just wonder who will have the fucking balls to do it? I would prefer some other group of Arabs clean up their own backyard. These guys arent gonna stop with just Iraq.
