They have slaughtered thousands execution style already. I don't fault him for finally doing something. There needs to be more. Those huge convoys need to be destroyed as they assemble and move.

Today is the day President Obama prevented genocide. That is only your opinion that is not shared by many: TWO retired four-star generals blast Obama for failing to use 'decisive' force in Iraq with 'pinprick' attacks for 'political posturing' Retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey laid into Obama on Friday, saying bombing runs against ISIS positions are political posturing 'These are political gestures using military power,' he said, lamenting the president's lack of commitment to a full-blown military campaign Obama ran for president on a platform of getting US military out of Iraq but began bombing runs Friday morning in the country's northern region White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest assured reporters on Friday that a ground-troop incursion is out of the question GOP critics are hammering the White House for not being more aggressive House Speaker John Boehner said the White House has an 'ongoing absence of a strategy for countering the grave threat ISIS poses' Obama underestimated ISIS in January, telling The New Yorker that 'If a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant' Two retired four-star U.S. Army Generals heaped scorn Friday on President Barack Obama's authorization of targeted airstrikes in northern Iraq, with one war hero calling it a 'political gesture' calculated to provide the impression that the U.S. is 'doing something' about a humanitarian crisis developing there. 'There's a huge tragedy unfolding: 1.5 million refugees, a couple of hundred thousand just in the last few weeks. 50,000 of this minority group stuck on – up in the mountains,' Gen. Garry McCaffrey said on MSNBC. 'But these are political gestures using military power.' 'We dropped three aircraft loads of water and food to 50,000 people in the mountains. Now we're striking ISIS artillery units. It looks to me as if a lot of this is internal U.S. politics to show we're doing something.' <more> dailymail.co.uk
