WASHINGTON — President Obama is considering airstrikes or airdrops of food and medicine to address a humanitarian crisis among as many as 40,000 religious minorities in Iraq who have been dying of heat and thirst on a mountaintdop after death threats from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, administration officials said on Thursday.

The president, in meetings with his national security team at the White House on Thursday morning, has been weighing a series of options ranging from dropping humanitarian supplies on Mount Sinjar to military strikes on the fighters from ISIS now at the base of the mountain, a senior administration official said.

Knowing 'Murica they will drop the food and then do the militery strike just too show off to there international friends.....now for a more serious note.
Hopefully they won't do the usual, bomb the shit out of everyone, and they will actually use there heads and see that blowing things up will make the situation worse. Hopefully they will just drop the supplies and go, that woulod be the best thing to do here.

so we will just say heres some food good luck. if we do get involved it needs to be full scale.

I'd say providing air support to the Iraqi government, along with food and medical aid to the trapped civilians is in order. If we don't stop the ISIS soon, things are going to start getting a lot worse.
