Kerry calls for Iraqis to 'come together,' as militants seize more territory
2014-06-13
[FOXNEWS] The B.O. regime sent a message Friday to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
... Prime Minister of Iraq and the secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party. Maliki imposed order on Basra wen the Shiites were going nuts, but has proven incapable of dealing with al-Qaeda's Sunni insurgency. Reelected to his third term in 2014...
as Al Qaeda-inspired gunnies took control of more cities on their march to Storied Baghdad -- reportedly leaving a trail of decapitated government forces in their wake:

"Come together."

Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
delivered the administration's message, putting the onus on the Maliki government to "put sectarian differences aside and to come together in unity to begin to be more representative and inclusive."

Republican politicians and military analysts are urging the administration to get more involved -- President B.O. appeared to open the door Thursday to the possibility of Arclight airstrikes, but no decision has been made. Kerry said Friday the U.S. has "discussed a range of options including military action to provide support for the Iraqi government." He predicted "timely decisions" from the president.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella opened her mouth at precisely the wrong moment...
the gunnies continue their march through northern cities and towns, toppling fragile security forces and threatening the capital city of Storied Baghdad.

Congressional Republicans say the Maliki government is far from blameless here, having stoked sectarian tensions by alienating the Sunni minority -- in turn fueling the insurgency -- but say U.S. intervention is needed.
