BREAKING NEWS: Obama authorizes airstrikes against Iraq militants 'if necessary'

[NLXSK1]

If necessary??? Who does he think decides that?? Are we gonna ask the UN for guidance??

How weak can our president look?

I dont think they are going to let him keep the peace prize....

 

[earnest_voice]

If necessary???

I would say that means dependent upon circumstances on the ground.

Who does he think decides that??

DOD

Are we gonna ask the UN for guidance??

Probably not, you'll veto the advice anyway

How weak can our president look?

Do you want him to fly the sorties, personally?

I dont think they are going to let him keep the peace prize....

He shouldn't have got one in the first place. There were plenty more deserving individuals than Obama.

 

[Silky Shagsalot]

too bad. prob. send advisors in, and then it all begins... i just saw the advisors have already been sent. anything can happen now. i give it a week, lol...

Do you want him to fly the sorties, personally?

Is there anyway we can put him under the wing of a F-18 and drop him on ISIS?

Unless he is a Shia they won't hurt him.

I guess it was already necessary because we hit artillery in Iraq this morning...

Wonder who gave the order... Barak is likely golfing so he is unavailable....

 

[Commander Strax]

if they didn't want to be bombed they should have been born in the USA.

the good news is they are probably not being bugged by the NSA

The United States is a criminal and murderous organization, so we should not be surprised when it behaves like one. Killing babies in their cribs with bombs is a cowardly thing to do for access to oil reserves.

Espeacially when you can derive the same power the oil reserve will produce from a plant !

Even if the alternative fuels were not as efficient, the efficacy of a policy does not ensure the morality of a policy.

There is nothing good about killing people, it is better to live with them on a consensual basis or leave them alone if one or both parties prefer not to associate. A government that is allowed to do immoral things that we as individuals should not do, is a criminal government.

What you do not choose to accept is that there are people out there that want you dead or enslaved and they have no interest in a non-aggression policy.

This is a comment to your general philosophy and not the specific attacks going on now because I am not sure what the hell we are doing over there.

So Obama now wants to bomb the exact same people that he originally wanted to arm in Syria?

C.G. the Mexican is a friend of mine.
We used to sit around the house watching Evil Dead.
Talking about the way it used to be...
We used to pull the strippers out of Sand Pablo bay.
Now the delta waters go down So. Cal.
And the strippers start to fade away.
It's Putin time!
It's Putin time!

So much tamer when Saddam was around. Why did that guy leave office ?

Round two in the works.....

I hadn't thought about that but I believe you are correct. Perhaps Assad isn't such a bad guy after all?

We were dropping bombs on it?

Already happened today. This would have been much more effective if we had done this a month ago when they were crossing the open desert in large groups. Now they have hundreds of Yazidi women as human shields.

HE wasn't going to sell his oil for US Dollars anymore, was only going to take Euros.

That, and he was so despicably evil that all the other evil people in the world, terrorists especially, hung out at his palace. At least that's what the TV told me anyway.

Infact there's talk about helping "our Syrian Allies" against them now...

Oh yes, no bullshit.
