<cite class="el-editorial-source">Lalish, Iraq (CNN)</cite>Sitting on a shabby green sofa somewhere in the ISIS-controlled city of Mosul, Iraq, the militants laugh and joke as one of them films their excited chatter.

 

"Today is the female sex slave market day, which has been ordained," explains a skinny, black-clad Jihadi, gesturing at the camera.

"With Allah's permission, each will get a share," promises another of the fighters.

 

"Where is my Yazidi girl?" asks the first, a wide grin splitting his straggly-bearded face.

The Yazidis are an ancient people, followers of a unique religion that blends elements of Islam, Judaism and Christianity with even more ancient practices, including sun worship.

It is a shame that Obama did not go in and protect them when it was happening. I remember Chaney going in before Christmas and bombing Iraq to hell to protect the Kurds. I do not like Chaney but he had balls to defend the helpless. We know this was happening and it was not a heave lift to stop it then and save these people all the misery they endured. I am a liberal but liberal bull crap about minding our own business in light of t he suffering of others is for the birds. That used to be the conservative view.

The Russians taking full control of bombing raids in Syria, targeting ISIS and the American backed rebels. Recently, two American fighter jets were dogging Russian jets over Syria as if they were afraid of conflicts. Obama believed diplomacy can cure everything. He is busy taking notation of Russian activities in Syria and violating Turkey air space. This sign of weakness will give Republicans an edge of winning the White House in the next election.

The Russians are on the wrong side of this one. I doubt any but the tiny minority consisting of his tribe will ever accept Assad. The Russians can get good with it by negotiating a dacha on the black sea for Assad. I am sure he can also negotiate away the persona non grata status for him in western capitals as well. He just has to leave.

 

Republicans have their own tribal war raging presently. Additionally, only Jeb can give Hillary a run for her money. The others cannot. Trump is too self absorbed, Carley has a provenance sitting on froth and Rubio does not have much of a resume. He would not even get hispanics.
