There have been a lot of concern that the Iraqi Air Force is not up to it. This could be a trigger that draws us back deeply into a conflict in the middle east that we have largely extracted ourselves from. Military action would not include combat boots on the ground. To go in and think well provide a tilting point opportunity is exactly how a slippery slope works. Right now in the northern iraqi town of sinjar there are tens of thousands refugees as much as 40,000 known as yaziti trapped on a mountaintop, they are without food and without water. 40 children have already died.

Obamacare. The blockbuster brawl over president obamas signature legislative achievement. To cut health care wouldnt make America Great again. It would make america sick again. Vice president elect pence and president obama both going to capitol hill today. Were going to move forward with the Obamacare Repeal resolution first. And well take the second step a little bit later. What on earth is he talking about . I think the details are still very unclear at this point. To everyone, apparently.
