Pamela Geller’s succinct comment on this sums it
up: “This is all just cosmetic. Obama lost Iraq.
Now he is just trying to save face.” By removing
Saddam and installing the weak Shia regime of
al-Maliki, the U.S. set the stage for the Sunni
jihad that the Islamic State represents. Obama
left Iraq precipitously, but on the other hand he
could have kept U.S. troops in Iraq for 100 years
and it wouldn’t have ended the Sunni-Shiite jihad
or quelled the desire to restore the caliphate.
These strikes today may weaken the Islamic
State, but Obama doesn’t have the stomach or
the resources, anymore, to do what would be
necessary to destroy the Islamic State entirely.
“Airstrikes Begin: U.S. Navy Planes Drop
Bombs on ISIS Forces,” NBC News , August
8, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller ):
The United States dropped laser-guided
bombs on ISIS artillery in Iraq on Friday, the
Pentagon said — the beginning of airstrikes
threatened a day earlier by President Barack
Obama.
The bombs, 500 pounds each, were dropped
by two Navy F-18 fighter jets near Erbil, the
strategically important city that serves as
the Kurdish capital, and where the United
States has a consulate. ISIS was using the
artillery to shell Kurdish forces defending
Erbil, the Pentagon said.
The fighter jets took off from the aircraft
carrier USS George H.W. Bush, in the Persian
Gulf. The mission marked a return to U.S.
military engagement in Iraq, three years after
Obama removed U.S. forces.
Obama, in a speech Thursday night from the
White House, said that he was authorizing
airstrikes to protect American interests in
Iraq and drops of food and water for tens of
thousands of refugees trapped by ISIS on a
mountain in Iraq.
Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon
spokesman, said Friday: “As the president
made clear, the United States military will
continue to take direct action against ISIL
when they threaten our personnel and
facilities.” ISIS and ISIL are acronyms to
describe the same Islamic militant group.
