Another red line Obama won't cross?


Washington (CNN)ISIS is suspected of firing a shell with mustard agent that landed at the Qayyara air base in Iraq Tuesday where US and Iraqi troops are operating, according to several US officials.

The shell was categorized by officials as either a rocket or artillery shell. After it landed on the base, just south of Mosul, US troops tested it and received an initial reading for a chemical agent they believe is mustard.

No US troops were hurt or have displayed symptoms of exposure to mustard agent; troops involved in the incident went through decontamination showers as a precaution. No troops have shown any symptoms of exposure, such as skin blistering. CNN has reported on previous instances where ISIS has fired rounds with mustard agents in Iraq and Syria.

Well, that is good news; I am sure they have some hot dogs they can use it on. Never let good mustard go to waste.

Whatever weapons ISIS has have come from the US military to begin with. We created, funded, trained and armed ISIS.

No, not by the time we invaded the 2nd time. Scott Ritter told us before the war, as he was a former inspector.

If they are using mustard, it's time to take the cuffs off our guys and gals. Take no prisoners ... kill 'em all. If they are wanting to surrender, or are wavin' a white flag .. too bad.

I'm sure Barry will (someone else)write them a stern letter and then go play golf. He will then scold Americans and give some money to North Korea or something absolutely ridiculous.
