Sinjar Surprise: How The U.S. May Have Misjudged The Refugee Situation In Iraq
“May have misjudged refugee situation in Iraq,” is being way tooooo….kind”After all, these are the same “guys” who brought Fast and Furious, an anti-Islamic video as the spark for Benghazi, Failure to support Iranian opposition during Obama’s first term, the “re-set” with Russia, supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, little to no support for the Syrian rebels, failure to provide military assistance to Ukraine, outing of the CIA Station In Afghanistan, and what appears to be complete ignoring of the ex-Marine with PTSD who is detained in Mexico, and so on.

Your Say
Cockle-warmer of the day, from Iraq, as reported by Katie Pavlich [Townhall.com] from a NY Post story --
'An all-female battalion has prepared themselves to take on the brutal group [ISIS] should they advance in Kurdistan.'
"Hundreds of mothers, sisters and daughters have taken up arms and devoted their lives to protecting Iraq's Kurdish population against the threat of the Islamic State.
Known as the women peshmarga of the 2nd Battalion, the group is made up of 550 female fighters led by Col. Nahida Ahmad Rashid, ...
The soldiers have not yet faced the Islamic State since the terrorists seized control of towns in Kurdistan, but the group has carried out in-depth exercises in the scorching heat of Sulaymaniyah to prepare themselves for battle." "...[for] one mother who already has a 5-year-old daughter, even pregnancy can't stand in her way. 'This is my duty, no matter if I am bearing a child or not,' the four-months pregnant woman said, 'If I am called to the front lines, I will go.'" [NY Post].
A new designation for fighting women, PMS, Pesh-Marga Soldiers. This will be a period in Kurdish history to be very proud of.

After a quick Wiki dip I discover that Pesh Marga [or Pesh Merga] literally means, "Those who confront death."
Well, ISIS now confronts death by PMS! I can hardly wait for the nay-sayers' condomnation of pregnant soldiers on the battlefield.
