Half years after we handed over security to the country to iraqs military, two and a half years after president obama said our war in iraq was ending iraq is once again the focus of our military and our commander in chief. Just hours after president obama announced we were returning to an active role in iraq, the u. S. Launched two rounds of air strikes yesterday against isis fighters near erbil. The u. S. Has a consulate in that Northern Iraqi city and thousands of americans live there. In addition to those military strikes the u. S. Is trying to keep a humanitarian crisis from worsening. The u. S. Military conducted a secondary drop of food and water late last night to thousands of members of the yazidi religious minority who have been trapped on mount sinjar for days and are surrounded by isis militants. The situation might be worse for hundreds of yazidi women. Militants are holding them kapt of at schools in mosul. He told the a. P. By now consider them slaves and have vicious pla

Refineries in eastern syria. These refineries are relatively small and can be moved around but they can produce 500 barrels of oil a day. These strikings are a big deal. Because isis can make up to 2 million a day from black market oil. But theres another potentially Big Development taking place just over the border from syria in turkey. Nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel has more. On the other side of this border is the town of hobani. This town has been surrounded by isis, under attack by isis militants. These men dont think the u. S. Air strikes will be enough to liberate their town, to take it back. They decided to go in and try to do it themselves. For weeks, a major problem with the u. S. Strategy, one that Even Administration officials acknowledge, is that air strikes alone arent going to be enough. That there need to be reliable Ground Forces who are motivated. These men certainly are motivated. They want to go in. They dont think air strikes will be enough at all.
