  Obama chooses to plan targeted airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq. Interesting

  ...and has already bombed them today/last night.
  
  Probably not a bad idea and if we woulda left a security force there this never would have happened.

  Kinda hard to do that when we had the SOFA Agreement that Bush agreed to have all forces out. Obama tried to extend it back in the day, and add that U.S. forces would not be subject to Iraqi courts, the Iraqi Parliament refused. So, it was not possible to leave a security force there. Love how that always gets left out of the BS talking points.

  So, you want us to go bombing any time anyone asks for us for help? The data and intelligence 3 weeks ago was very confusing, mixed, and not 100%.

  not anytime but if it increases stability, safety or helps in a humanitarian way then yes barring other negative variables.

  Intelligence will never be 100%. and this wasn't a small mob moving across Iraq hiding in the shadows. Thousands of men and hundreds of vehicles waiving flags as they move should be able to be seen.

  It's all a matter of political convenience and not letting a good crisis go to waste.
