The genocide of 30,000 Yazidi's remains a very serious concern.

<<<<     Yazidi faithful returning to safe haven from the mountains in North Iraq.  First reports had 40,000 trapped.  Now,  it appears there were 60,000 to 70,000 trapped in the mountains;  some 30,000 are still in hiding,  hoping for an escort out of the grips of the Jihadist ISIS terror group.  

From Sky News because the American press is giving this as little a foot print as possible:

The UN says up to 35,000 refugees have escaped Iraq’s Mount Sinjar and are “exhausted” and “dehydrated”.

The refugees, mostly from the minority Yazidi sect, managed to reach northern Iraq’s Kurdistan region through Syria over the past three days.

“The new arrivals are exhausted, dehydrated and many have suffered sun or heat stroke, with the daily temperatures reaching 40C to 45C,” said UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards.

He said an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people are still trapped on the mountain without food or water.

UN minority rights expert Rita Izsak warned they face “a mass atrocity and potential genocide within days or hours”.

You do know that the IS rebels currently occupying most of Northern Iraq (because of our cut and run Middle East policy) were armed by the Obama government in the early days of the Syrian civil war.

<<< Before IS,  approximately 1 million Christians lived in Iraq.  Today,  that number is down to 400,000 all because of a man-made religion that preaches hate and death.  

Last week in Iraq:  

(1)  It is being reported that a small Sunni town,  north of Baghdad,  has been leveled as a warning to all who would resist IS.  Most of us on the Right and a few on the Left knew this sort of thing was going to happen.  How come Obama and his crack intelligence agencies,  did not see this coming  -  wasn't the NY Times delivered,  that day?  

(2)  More than this,  500,000 Christians in Mosul,  have fled that city,  Iraq's second largest,  in the face of a weekend dead line  -  and we do mean "dead" line - that ordered all Christians to renounce their faith,  repent and pay taxes and fines or be butchered by IS.  The takeover of Mosul appears to irreversible, and,  to think,  Christians have been in Mosul since the days of Christ on Earth,  far longer than the man-made religion of Islam.  

Again,  thanks to the do-nothing policies of the current "administration,"  too busy playing golf,  vacationing,  running evening parties at the WH,  wearing thousand dollar dresses and eating the most expensive fish eggs available,  raising money and giving speeches  . . . . . .  you know,  doing all the things a president is hired to do.  Thanks,  again.
