Kerry: U.S. Might Not Wait To Take Military Action In Iraq
Secretary of State John Kerry says the United States may not wait for a political solution before taking military action in Iraq.
“They do pose a threat,” Mr. Kerry said, referring to the fighters from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. “They cannot be given safe haven anywhere.”
“That’s why, again, I reiterate the president will not be hampered if he deems it necessary if the formation is not complete,” he added, referring to the Iraqi efforts to establish a new multisectarian government that bridges the deep divisions among the majority Shiites and minority Sunnis, Kurds and other smaller groups.

No more blood for China & India’s Iraqi oil contracts! We’ve wasted 4,484 US KIA in Iraq, spending $1.7 trillion plus interest already totaling $6 T+ on Halliburton Cheney’s faux Iraq oil war that spiked oil 10-fold to US record $147/brl with $5 per gallon gas in 2008.
Just say no to the subsidiary GOP’s parent company, Big Oil!

interesting that by following the repug/democratic/tea party fiasco and the screaming demand for guns- there seems to be a scary scenario developing in the usa. the extreme religious and political right are something to be worried about – and they are in the back/side/front yards.
