U.S. military aircraft carried out airstrikes on Islamist militants besieging Kurdish forces in northern Iraq, the Pentagon announced Friday.
The airstrikes targeted artillery being used by militants of the Islamic State extremist group against Kurdish forces defending the Irbil, the Kurdish regional capital, the Pentagon said. It said the artillery was used “near U.S. personnel.”

Good. Wipe 'em off the face of the earth. Although, I realize that's not possible. So, greatly reduce their ability to operate.

I'm cool with bombing ISIS. Those are some really evil people that need to be stopped. I'm proud of Obama for making the right decision on this.

I agree, but arent these the same people we wanted to give guns and bombs to in Syria?

Very apt analogy.

This is where I distance myself from the isolationist wing of the libertarian party
I understand the minding our own business, not police the world mindset, but if we can fire some missles and slow down a genocidal group like ISIS in the process I have no problem with it

This is why we should have stayed out of Syria and not supported wither side. I don't want us to arm anyone in the whole situation. God only knows who we will be bombing next week.

Says the headline on Drudge. That's true but an unfair comparison. We shouldn't criticize him for doing something we consider right, and this action so far isn't comparable to invading Iraq.

We should leave that cess pool to rot. Does anyone think this will discourage them long term? Are we going to stay there forever?

Just curious, who is providing on the ground intelligence for these airstrikes? Communicating with the aircraft? Marking targets?

US SOF and Combat Controllers I'd presume

It said the artillery was used “near U.S. personnel.”

But he repeated his pledge that no ground combat troops would be returned to Iraq, where the last U.S. forces withdrew at the end of 2011.

It was my understanding that our advisors would not be out in the field.
