So limited strikes on the ISIS folks if they come toward a city where Americans are holed up or if they don't let those people down from the mountain in addition to the food/water up on that mountain.

We also have to make sure the Kurds have the firepower they need to defend themselves.

A couple of rockets from Gaza into Southern Israel. No injuries. Wasn't a big wave so might be some splinter group and not Hamas.

we'll never get out of Iraq

thanks a lot bush. everyone is loving their freedom over there.

i'm fine with the bombing, just not a big fan of arming others. I guess the Kurds are fine, but which Kurds? We used to consider Kurds terrorists in Turkey...sure to upset our staunch ally Turkey. I guess we have to make clear it is for THOSE kurds and not recognizing a greater Kurdish state that includes Turkish land.

Impach Obama Weekis upon us, I hope you patriots will join me on August 30th and get rid of THIS president:
Image
State Capitol Building
Saturday, August 30
12 noon – 3 pm
N 3rd
St. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

And don't worry, they know the REAL DEAL when it comes to low turnouts:

These protests have not been over-hyped, because hype leads to disappointment. It is difficult to get a good turnout without the cooperation of the cultural-Marxist-influenced broadcast media spreading the news beforehand as they often do for leftist protests. It is also just more difficult to attract participants for a personal protest against a president. The impeach-Obama protests against Nixon in the 1970’s were also not very large, but eventually he still had to resign under the threat of impeachment. We will accept however many protests/participation we get and with determination build on that for future protests. If we are surprised on the upside by the turnout, so much the better.

It will take some time to build up to very large protests. So, do not be discouraged. We plan to have another national protest just before the coming election. So, this is, in effect, a warm-up exercise. This is part of a broader impeach-Obama movement and not a one-time protest. Send links to photos and video of your protest, so we can publicize it on the Internet afterwards.

You do not necessarily need prior organizing experience to do this. Give it your best shot. You can be listed as the local contact/organizer, if desired.

To have a protest in your area, just find a likely spot in a safe neighborhood and have it listed on this website. Likely protest sites are busy street corners or at a Government building. Overpasses are good prospects that have fences to keep signs from dropping into traffic and, if possible, with parking and a public facilities nearby. Notify the media in your area and the police beforehand.

Protests at state capitols will be generally street protests. So, the protests should be at a busy intersection near the state capitol to be seen by the most people, not on the capitol steps, if no one to see it is there. Local groups can convert an event into a rally, if they have the resources. Even a few people with signs can be effective at a busy street corner near the capitol.

Go to this link to download images for posters that you can have printed out at Staples or Office Depot. Note that there is more than one page in the directory.

In the GOP primary last night in Tennessee's 4th Congressional District, incumbent Rep. Scott DesJarlis, best known for sleeping with his patients when he was a doctor and encouraging both his ex wife and a patient/girlfriend to get abortions, was leading by 33 votes when I went to bed. The AP just updated its count, and he's now losing by 2 votes.

Should be a fun recount.

Kinda happened right after the last election, so I guess it faded as an issue the course of two years. I can't believe he didn't get crushed still.
