Isn't it ironic that we find ourselves on the same side of a conflict with Al Qaeda, who fought ISIS after disowning them for being too radical?
Even the propaganda has gotten ridiculous and juvenile. Yet the sheople still follow along dutifully.

Now that's what I call a proactive response.

No I really think they had grown so much and it had gotten to the point where there was little resistance to stop them from going wherever they want.

This whole thing makes no sense. Why would you conduct an airstrike on one of your best source. And even if you've lost control of them and need to rein them in, how is an airstrike going to do that?

It makes more sense that an airstrike clears out an area that needs to be cleared out (for whatever reason). I don't believe this has anything to do with ISIS or Al Qaeda, or terrorism.

Got to protect those Jewish owned oil fields in Kurdistan. Bah

LINK

quote:

So far, other than the city of Mosul, the insurgents have steered clear of eastern Kurdistan, which is trying to ramp up its oil production and which has often touted its relatively better security situation as a way to attract foreign investment. One concern is that, if the militants turn east, they could threaten Kurdish oil fields and take out some Iraqi production.


quote:

now, companies operating in the region appear calm. Chevron said, "Our activities continue as normal in the region." A spokesman for Genel Energy, a Turco-British firm operating in Kurdistan, said that because ISIS is apparently avoiding taking on Kurdish forces directly, "There should therefore be no disruption in oil production or shipment on the [Kurdish] side."


There is a big dispute over who owns the oil being produced in those northern fields. The pipeline for those northern fields runs through turkey and was attacked a few months back. There is also a huge oil tanker sitting off the coast of Texas full of Genel Energy oil that is in dispute from the Iraq government.

My theory is we are protecting the business interest of those oil companies in that region but I guess following the money is just crazy.

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.


How exactly is the headline "Obama Bombs Iraq" a criticism? And how is the headline comparing anything? It seems to me that you are drumming up the comparison.

It may just be a shot at Obama because the POTUS is supposedly anti-war, just like most Demo's say they are anti-war. but it's not comparing him to Bush. it's comparing him to himself.

For a Anti-War guy, he sure does a lot of bombing with "no boots on the Ground" wink... wink..

I'm glad Barry finally made a good foreign policy decision. We have to do something to help dismantle these guys because if they continue to grow and attain power, weapons, autonomy and fighters it's only a matter of time before their fight comes to our shores.

Their leader is the guy who said upon release: "I'll see you in New York." No problem with firing a missile up his arse before he can see that threat through.

Boom. Sorry, Ron, but the market won't fix this situation.
