The primary victims of the ISIS are not Christians, but Sunnis and other religious minority groups like Yazidis. Christians make up only a very tiny minority of Northern Iraq.
These are the guys that Al Qaeda considers too extreme. What did Obama think would happen if he withdrew? What an ass.
President Barack Obama told disabled veterans in Atlanta on Monday that he was fulfilling a campaign promise by ending U.S. combat operations in Iraq “on schedule,” by Aug. 31.
But the timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops in Iraq was decided during the Bush administration with the signing of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by U.S. and Iraq officials on Nov. 16, 2008. The Iraqi parliament signed SOFA on Nov. 27, 2008.
The duplicity of this guy is, sad to say, completely believable. He takes credit for what others accomplished, and blames others for his own mistakes. He came to the forefront of the Democrat party by giving an anti-Iraq war speech, he’s whined about it ever since, he’s voted to defund the war, he was against the Surge, and now he wants to take credit for the framework that Bush put in place.
I've seen the videos months previous. They're beyond disturbing. I'm not going to forget anytime soon.A minority which ISIS presently seems to be committing what amounts to genocide against. What's your point?

However this has only reached the news now that ISIS has reached Christian areas.
He took credit for making the decision to pull the final troops out during his campaign - when he could have negotiated for them to stay as the Bush admin was going to do. The decision to pull the troops out was clearly his. He doesn't have a clue about how the world works. He should go back to organizing bake sales.
ISIS has offered Christians in Iraq an ultimatum: "Convert or die." Those who do not (women, children, and men alike) are being beheaded, shot in the streets, and crucified.
Chaldean leaders are calling for Western nations to offer refugees asylum.
A number of Christian websources are corroborating some of the more grisly details of the story.
(EXTREMELY NSFW)
I haven't been able to find much else, however. Is anyone aware of a better source on the subject?
Frankly, regardless of whether this story is truly as horrible as is being claimed, I'm glad to see that we've finally taken action by authorizing airstrikes.
This has been going on for awhile and Barry says zilch! Its disgusting how we as a nation have abandoned those who worked with us in Iraq. Where is the UN?? This is blowing up in the administrations face and they know it.
These people are animals!!! Sadly they are like roaches and will never die off. I see why in the bible in certain wars God told them to smite everyone as to not give them a chance to further reproduce.

Technically speaking, genocide cannot be committed against them as Christianity is a religion, not an ethnicity. However, I do understand where you are coming from.
And why is it OUR business?
France and Germany killed millions for years and we smartly stayed out............1914 to 1917.
Japan and China again killed millions and we stayed out..............1930 to 1941.
Why are you so eager to start a war with religious nut cases?

WW I, 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918, The US entered the War in 1917 after the sinking of the RMS Lusitania and Germany resuming unrestricted submarine warfare.
WW II, 1939-1945, Official US involvement starting in Dec 1941. Prior to that, we supported the Chinese (Flying Tigers among others), Lend-Lease Program with Britain and the Soviet Union and blockades of raw materials entering Japan.
As to "starting" a war with religious nuts, perhaps you should refer to all the terrorist and other activities of some Muslims since 1948.
Chaldean Christians are both a religious and cultural / ethnic group, as far as I understand.
Though, likewise, I understand your meaning.
