#1 Kerry said Obama is "each day" gaining more certainty of the targets he would strike if the United States decided on its own to take military action.

Once the target folders have been built and the Iranian Air Force is ready to conduct strikes, ISIS targets will be engaged.

#9 See also TOPIX > OBAMA TO MAKE SURE ISIS CAN'T ATTACK US, KERRY TELLS ABC.

Jaawhn says ISIS aka ISIL have the will to attack the US, but fortunately don't yet have the capability.

* FREEREPUBLIC > [WND.com] IRAQ INVADERS THREATEN NUKE ATTACK ON ISRAEL [CLAIM THEY ALREADY HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS?].

* WASHINGTON TIMES > [CRS Report] ISIL HELL- BENT ON CREATING ISLAMIC STATE TO BE LAUNCHPAD FOR ATTACKS ON US.

Once again, people, wid feeling - D *** NG IT, DON'T BE SILLY, AMERICA = AMERIKA WILL HAVE LEGAL SHARIA LAW BY THEN.

VERSUS

* WORLD NEWS > [National Journal] IRAQ A TERRIBLE FIRST TEST FOR OBAMA'S NEW FOREIGN POLICY.

True enuff as it is, but could be much worse iff ... ...
> IRAN refuses to leave Iraq once ISIS/ISIL is defeated or effec contained.
> Pro-Qaeda Boyz launch atacks + begin to destabilize Jordan, + KSA, Emirates = Saudi Peninsula. Iran intervenes again to save local Shias but then refuses to leave???

ABOVE ALL, IFF SHOOTING WAR(S) START IN EAST ASIA BETWEEN CHINA + US ALLIES, IN ECS ANDOR SCS + INDIA - IN EAST ASIA VEE CHINA THERE IS THE DANGER THAT SEVERAL SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES MAY BE INVOLVED AT ONE TIME DURING A DE FACTO US-CHINA MILITARY CRISIS, NOT JUST THE "SOLE" SYRIA OR "SOLE" UKRAINE OR A "SOLE" IRAQ.

The Bammer hasn't even begun vee Rising China + PLA = [Globalist-desired?]OWG Co-Superpower China yet, + its not clear iff the Bammer can avoid any mil clash agz same before he leaves office come Jan 2017.

* RUSSIA TODAY > UNKNOWN PLANE BOMBS ISIS POISTIONS IN IRAQ [at Al-Qaim], PENTAGON DENIES ITS US, saying it twas prob the Assad's Flyboyz = Syrian Air Force.

#10 OOOOPPPPPSSSS, forgot FREEREPUBLIC > [McClatchy]ISLAMIST FIGHTERS REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTING TO ENCIRCLE BAGHDAD.

As per Jaawhn, am keeping my fingers crossed that the Bammer's "assessments" don't take much longer,

#11 Kerry said Obama is "each day" gaining more certainty of the targets he would strike if the United States decided on its own to take military action.

A masterful use of the conditional subjunctive mood, future tense.

"He has reserved the right to himself, as he should, to make a decision at any point in time if he deems it necessary strategically," Kerry said.

To boldly decide, where no one has decided before...

Jawn is a strong candidate for the Nobel Prize in Bloviation.
