#2 "The United States has been fast to provide necessary support for the people and government of Iraq," National Security Advisor Susan Rice told a Washington think-tank.

Using reverse Susan Rice logic this means that we haven't provided the necessary support which is, ta-DA, one reason why Iraq is failing.

I am glad that Rice makes it so easy to get to the truth.

#3 The only "support" that would work right now would be the insertion of a full light infantry brigade into Balad, to create a stop line, and then a full mech division to roll it back, with SF in the north to help direct the Kurds.

Thats not going to happen, so get ready for a replay of Saigon, with all the iraqis who helped us desperately trying to get their families into the US Embassy in Baghdad to get evac out.

#6 These promises are from the same guy who said "If you like your healthcare plan you can keep your healthcare plan. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor." I wouldn't take any solace in empty promises from an empty suit. Better go to Plan B whatever that may be.

#11 Air power for ground attack seems doable. ISIL black hats are fighting conventionally and not trying to blend in providing a target rich environment. But ground attack needs boots on the ground to direct it. Like the early days in Afghanistan but without the mountains. Is JSOC looking for something else to do?

#13 mulling drone strikes

Mulling? Mulling! Drones?!
Mulled whine.
Repeatedly warned of the dangers of ISIL? McCain's Heroes?

Sounds like an A-10 mission. Wait, hold.

#15 As per CNN the so-hot-its-hot Guam AM, + RT > OBAMA WON'T SEND IN THE TROOPS, BUT WON'T RULE OUT AIRSTRIKES.

Also from CNN, OBAMA > "WE CAN'T DO IT FOR THEM" + "OBAMA LINKS US HELP TO IRAQI [Govt = Political]UNITY EFFORT".

FYI the Bammer has deployed the Bush 41 CVN to the Persian Gulf.

#16 Obama will Stand By Iraq. Stand there and watch it burn to the ground. That's the extent of his support to any United States ally.
