I wish I knew what we were really doing in Iraq. Here we are helping fight off ISIS from another town in Iraq, Amerli, which sits about halfway between Erbil and Baghdad. I mean, I think it’s great that we are keeping ISIS from taking over another town in Iraq but at the same time, given Obama’s rhetoric, I’m not sure if we are there to defeat ISIS or just box them in or something.
And now Iran-backed Shiite militias are fighting with Iraqi forces on the ground after we provide air-power to go in and stop ISIS from massacring the people.
