This is how the Mission Creep of Vietnam started.

14.06 Two US jets hit a mobile artillery piece.
14.00 US forces struck after artillery fire against Kurdish forces defending the key city of Erbil.
13.54 US aircraft launched airstrikes against extremist positions in northern Iraq after artillery fire near US personnel, the Pentagon has said....

First it is advisers, then humantarian aide and the next thing one knows is an assassination of a beloved president followed by the Veep ordering troops on the ground in Vietnam. I suppose all Presidents thereafter learned their lessons well.

What was it Jackie stated, "Jack, they've killed you."

Just for the record, the Yazidis have always live on Mount Sinjar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but, but, but, this time their food and water has been cut off. "W"rong. 

The reason the USA is involved at Sinjar is because the Kurds and ISIS were conducting a battle there. So, while some roads were cut off to the higher elevations due to the fighting I would hardly call this a refugee camp. It is not.

As a matter of fact there is a researcher by the name of Nadhir al-Ansari that has been conducting studies in those mountains. He is from LUT, Lulea University of Technology in Sweden who has studied the harvesting of water conducted by the people there.

In his research he was looking for sources of water as alternatives to the main rivers. But, the study hasn't been published yet.

The provinces of the former Iraq and ISIS are involved with a war. The USA is sneaking up from behind on the American people. This is about whether or not the USA will engage the military arm of ISIS which is empowered by the War Pollution it left behind that made the Iraqi military and police look so impressive.

The fact of the matter is the three provinces are attempting to 'handle' the USA empowered ISIS. That is the problem and there is no other problem. Could it be said the three provinces are fighting for a water supply? Sure. So, with the assistance of USA and it's War Pollution of Humvees (ISIS should thank Cheney for that one) and munitions ISIS is posing a threat to the water resources. The three provinces have a problem and the only two currently able to develop any type of military response are the Kurds in the North and the Shia in the South. Saudi Arabia could wipe out ISIS in a short period of time, but, alas ISIS are Sunnis out of Syria and who wants to kill them after all.

ISIS can also thank Senator McCain for his support in expectations they would unseat Assad. Oops.

We don't belong in Iraq.

We never did.
