WHY WE CAN'T USE AIR STRIKES ON ISIS FORCES IN IRAQ
Fox News commentators are so stupid they don't realize if we unleashed an air attack on Iraq it would be impossible to determine where the ISIS forces are located and the bulk of them are mixed in with Iraqi citizens and the casualties to innocent people would be a humanitarian catastrophe

IRAQ WAR DEJA VU
IRAQ WAR DEJA VU....In 2008 I launched my own blog on the IRAQ WAR, CORKSPHERE: http://corksphere.blogspot.com/ and it grew in popularity and reached over ONE MILLION "hits" or page views. The New York Times and PBS radio did a story about me and my blog dedicated to the IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN wars. By clicking on this post you can see all the stories and videos I did on the wars over a span of six years. A group affiliated with AL QUEDA have launched an assault on three major cities, Mosul, Fallujah and Tikrit, in IRAQ and are about to storm BAGHDAD where the U.S. Embassy is located. IRAQ'S PRESIDENT al MALIKI wants OBAMA to provide air support with Drone attacks, but this could only escalate into another full-fledged ground war and the American people don't have the stomach for another war in the Middle East. What most likely will happen is the warring factions in IRAQ, Sunni and Shiite, will engage in a Civil War with the United States and all foreign countries sitting on the sidelines. Right wingers will want us to send in troops into IRAQ again, but right wingers don't have any blood in the fight and OBAMA would be wise to ignore them.
