We had to go in.
We had a huge humanitarian/PR crisis...Thousands of starving non belligerents including women and children stranded on a mountain
surrounded by the blood thirsty ISIS.
We were depending on the Kurds, but
ISIS over ran the Peshmerga - armed Kurds in the North Iraq - who we had hope would keep them at bay.
Iran...securing Baghdad and no love for "kurdistan".
Turkey...no love for the Kurds or "Kurdistan".
France...has her hands full in Mali.
England...very anxious to get out of Afghanistan.
