This is the disaster that keeps on giving.  “Man caused” by the way, by one man.

The Pentagon is strongly considering sending additional military planners to Iraq to figure out a way to rescue and relocate the tens of thousands of religious minorities trapped on a mountain by Islamic militants, senior U.S. officials told Fox News.

Wow.  For once, what a statement of resolve by the Pentagon Puzzle Palace.  I am glad that they are “seriously considering” something.  “Seriously considering” is right up there with strong statements of action like “ruminating on the possibility,” “definitely gonna,” and if you are from the South, you would be “Fixin’ ta…..”

I once seriously considered changing the usual color I go with on my toes when I got my mani-pedi.  No really, it was last summer and the shade of red I had on my toes was getting tired and dated.  I was definitely gonna change it, but then I found these cute peep toe espadrilles at the mall and I was fixin’ ta wear them to a barbeque later on.

My husband pointed out that I should notice the use of the word “planners.”  Because what you need to rescue people who are encircled and under siege are brave warriors who will drop from the sky and begin making more flow charts, operational diagrams, operations orders, intelligence assessments and coffee before the daily briefing.

The Pentagon currently has 250 military advisers in Iraq.

This administration, who has the last president living rent free in their heads, combined with not having a spine made of anything stronger than limp pasta, and having resolved that having a press conference equates to doing anything just can’t bring themselves to say the words.  These are not “planners” or “advisors” any more than I am a “super model.”  When they say “planners” what they are saying without saying it is “Special Operations” and “Special Forces.”  They are saying this for a reason; because “planners” sounds better than “Special Forces.”  He is haunted by the prospect of the words “Troops,” “Boots on the Ground,” and “Men in the Fight.”

The planning, though, is complicated by the administration’s directive not to send ground troops. Absent that, the U.S. would have to pursue an airlift mission.

Strong words that won’t ever come from a man who is much more familiar with strongly worded statements and sternly worded letters.

And we have a president who is spending his time trying to say that wasn’t me while You Tube is melting down from the amount of videos that show the PINO taking credit for ending the war in Iraq, well, except he didn’t.   But enough about that, he has a tee time.

Because the PINO didn’t do what military planners told him to do (you know, the people with experience at this kind of thing) and decided he knew better, the predicable conclusions regarding what would happen when we left became a reality and is now becoming a way of life for the Yazidis trapped in those mountains.

We are governed by a man who when he decides to make a decision, he makes none at all, for fear that he will look like the previous president. There is even more pointed and direct analysis on this, which bolsters my point.

The Yazidi people trapped in those mountains need a miracle, and that miracle doesn’t come from people translating flows charts and intelligence estimates into Arabic and wishing the Kurds or others on their merry way into battle with ISIS/ISIL while hoping that the gist of the plan works out and that everything comes out OK in the end.  They need some “planners” to saddle up, make their way into those mountains and start piling up ISIS Jihadists.

But that might be too much for a man that views rhetoric and the aggressive use of speeches as his only weapons against the largest terrorist state to ever exist in human history.
