Obama will decide what, if anything to do about Iraq sooner or later:
Obama Says He Will Decide on Military Support for Iraq in ‘Days Ahead’
WASHINGTON — President Obama said Friday that he would make a decision “in the days ahead” about whether to use American military power to help the besieged Iraqi government stave off collapse at the hands of Islamist insurgents, but he ruled out using ground forces.
“This poses a danger to Iraq and its people and, given the nature of these terrorists, it could pose a threat eventually to American interests as well,” Mr. Obama said of the offensive now threatening Baghdad. “We will not be sending U.S. troops back into combat in Iraq, but I have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options.”
The president cautioned against expecting quick action, saying the planning would take “several days” to make sure any airstrikes were effective.
Planning those airstrikes is tricky because they are going after moving targets. Moving toward Baghdad, at last report.

The saud's are the main event within the sunni tribe.
Iran is also reacting. Maliki has always been their dog.
But the saud's have pushed irak back at least 1000 years. (Not that the country ever had indoor plumbing.) Except for Saddam.
The stupidity of killing Gaddafi and Saddam will keep us mired in the Mideast until, at least, the oil kingdom runs out of oil. Then? They'll be landlords. But like the Beverly Hills Hotel, they may be forced to notice that the locals don't like them very much.

I did raise an eyebrow when I heard him talk about how a big part of the problem is that Iraqi soldiers are shedding their uniforms and abandoning their posts. He seems to understand what a big problem that is for the Iraqi military. Perhaps someone will connect the dots for him and explain that Bowe Bergdahl’s comrades think it’s a problem when American troops do the same thing.

This is fantastic! With the election coming up Obama will show the American voter that he cares about their boys and won't waste any American resources on the smoking crater that will be the entire Middle East, and that not even the incineration of Israel or the looming Islamic invasion of Europe will cause him to swerve from his steadfast insistence on leading from behind. Meanwhile the Republicans will be left foolishly ranting about the projection of power, stability, responsibility and the domino theory! My only concern is that all of this foreign policy brilliance is keeping the glowing success of Obamacare off the front pages.

Well if he plans to hit ISIS with "air strikes after I've finished thinking", the mission briefers better give the pilots shots of Basra. Because while Obozo is "thinking", ISIS is going to go through Baghdad like crap through a goose (to repeat an old Patton expression). And if he thinks just a bit longer, maybe the briefers will have to provide targets in Kuwait City.

Rick,
I like how apparently we're announcing that we won't even consider using any air power for a couple days, thereby telling the ISIS boys to quickly drive unhindered into Baghdad, and then get lost among the civilian population, where we won't be able to use air power.
I think I heard something like that on the radio as well.
Okay, catch-up begins.
BTW, Has General Colin Powell opened his fat yap yet, or is he still a reverse racist who is unable to breathe a word of criticism about our first Black Prez? IIRC, he was the guy, during the Kuwait War, who wanted us to quit bombing Saddam's troops on the Highway to Death where they were sitting ducks out in the open, so we did.

A brown bear in black bear's clothing
Corbin was speedwalking with ski poles on the Besh Loop near Service High School on the Anchorage Hillside. This is something the 66-year-old former competitive athlete does to stay in shape...
"I heard something large in behind (the) brush at five yards, and then a very large black bear came crashing out with eyes fixed on me. Like car wrecks, things went into slow motion.
"I carry bear spray on my right hip and frequently practice drawing for muscle memory."
He did not draw it. He's unsure exactly why that is. Maybe there was some reaction to that initial thought of "black bear."...
"This one had a head that seemed like a brown," he said. "This was the biggest black bear I have ever met."
And that's because it wasn't a member of the species Ursus Americanus, the common black bear, but a member of the species Ursus arctos horribilis, a species so-named for the havoc it can wreak...
"I'm still kind of stunned. I have never seen a black with a head that BIG. It was either the biggest black ever, or a brown that is actually black."...
I must have surprised it sleeping right by the trail in the middle of the day. Big crash, then it came and stopped. Could have been all over just like that. (It) just exploded out of the brush."
So what did Corbin do?
Basically nothing.
"I just looked right at it as it came and kept walking," he said. "It charged up to within a little over an arm's length and then actually stopped. All the while I just kept moving at the same pace, purposely and looking as confident as I could right at it. Unbelievably, it stayed put as I continued on....
No Harm, no foul!
"And, no, I am not feeling cocky, just lucky. As they say in tiger country, 'You don't get away...they just let you get away.’

The lame deer (she's missing a hoof and part of a lower front leg; who knows how it happened) who frequents our back yard has a new fawn. The thing is tiny because it was born just recently (the doe was lying down in the back of the yard earlier in the week and she wouldn't leave the fawn alone unless she was looking for food) and I guess she'd separated herself from the herd she normally runs (stumbles) with. Mrs H suspected she was pregnant due to some trans-species sisterhood mindmeld, I guess.

So if there are 20,000 Americans currently in Iraq, most of them civilian contractors (I believe that was the number someone on JOM mentioned on a previous thread and I'm not going to bother doing my own research, because that is how I roll)--then you would think a president with any kind of humanity in him at all would be worried about the fact that these Americans are now seriously in harm's way. Even for his own narcissistic sake, Obama ought to be worried, because if videos of Americans getting their heads sawed off with dull swords show up on al Jezeera and on the internet, then it is going to cease being just an Iraqi problem and become HIS problem, PDQ, because his Rodney King schtick of why can't we all just get along juxtaposed against a row of beheaded Americans . . . well, I can't see even his diehard sycophants in the MSM pulling his ass out of that fire.

Hey, daddy, about 25 years ago on the family's Big Trip to Alaska we were in Denali Park on the Park Service bus tour. (They don't let cars in the park.) We had all piled out of the bus to take pictures of the mountain on a stunning clear day, when somebody noticed a bear high-tailing over the hill away from us. The park ranger had some speculation as to what could have sent the bear running as we loaded back on the bus. We were all on the bus but hadn't started moving, when a mama moose and newborn calf appeared from over the rise next to the road, and walked down the road next to the bus, then headed off down the hill on the other side of the road. The mama moose had a large gash on her back haunch. We connected the dots as to what the bear had been up to before running off. Even in the midst of childbirth a mama moose is a pretty formidable opponent.

Been thinking about the Austrian ATC radar "brownout".
Could be solar flares that is causing the problem. The SSR comms are in the UHF spectrum (1.030 GHz and 1.090 GHz uplink and downlink respectively) which is susceptible to that kind of interference.
Also wonder if the Austrian, German and Czech Republic radars are same supplier/vintage/model? Would not be surprised, as none of those markets may be big enough to support development of their own unique system.
If so, possible that they all have same defect. Software bug, hardware flaw, antenna systems susceptible to interference or any number of things.
However, the fact that the "brownouts" have occurred at different times certainly also points to possibility of some kind of local (maybe airborne) jamming. Putin's boys would likely have that kind of dirty trick up their sleeve. Practice? You would think solar activity would effect a widespread area and multiple systems at the same time.

Whatever issues we have with the "leadership" of those countries, do we have no concern whatsoever for Pakistanis and Afghans?
