Midknight Review -- new and revised: Here is Obama's problem in Iraq and many of us do not believe he can resist:

Before this whole thing started, he had nearly 3,000 embassy staff in Baghdad. Some have been evacuated in the past several days, but most remain, plus the 800 to 1,000 special forces, recently sent to Iraq.

In addition, Obama has a humanitarian crisis to which he needs to be responssible, a crisis that may include 250,000 Yszidi's and 100,000 Christians, all being pursued by the blood thirsty ISIS.

And we all know, by now, that the Iraqi government saw ISIS as a real and present danger, one year ago this month, and had asked the US for air assistance. Obama refused, declared ISIS a "J.V." player in the region and ignored the situation, hoping for the best. After all, his motto is Hope and Change.

But, back to the problem. He simply cannot allow our soldiers to be trapped, captured or killed. He got away with deserting 4 in Benghazi and the 32 Navy Seals on that helicopter downing, in Afghanistan, but several hundred, with the eyes of the world watching? No way.

"I will not be drawn back into Iraq," is not only another promise already broken, it was a promise over which he really had very little control, what with the embassy in the capital city, and all. This is what he gets for standing around, with his finger up his buns, hoping for the goodness of mankind to take over the ISIS military.

I do not know if enough people in this country (the USA) are aware of the humanitarian crisis to make a difference, but if troops are killed, all hell will break loose, politically speaking. And THAT is the problem. He HAS to evacuate the embassy workers and staff and bring our troops home safely. "Cut and run" is an option, at present, but at the cost of thousands of lives within Iraq, so, maybe, that isn't an option, either.

He went in without a plan, and, now, he is stuck in Iraq, without a plan . Will he listen to his military advisers, in view of the fact that he knows nothing about the "command of men?" Time will tell. We should know something in short order. And we should all hope for success.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
