Iraq requests US air strikes on militants
[The News (Pak)] Iraq has asked the United States to conduct air strikes against bully boyz who have seized key cities and large swathes of the country, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Wednesday."Iraq has officially asked Washington to help under the security agreement (between the two countries), and to conduct air strikes against terrorist groups," Zebari told news hounds in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... . Militants, spearheaded by ISIL and joined by supporters of executed dictator Saddam Hussein, have in the past week overrun a large chunk of northern and north-central Iraq, although their advance has since been slowed. "A military approach will not be enough. We acknowledge the need for drastic political solutions," Zebari said. Posted by: Fred 2014-06-19 |
