Obama, speaking on the South Lawn before departing for North Dakota, reiterated that the U.S. would "not be sending U.S. troops back into combat."

He said the unrest in Iraq, though, poses a "danger" to the Iraqi people and could threaten American interests.

Indicating a decision on possible U.S. intervention could still be days away, the president said he's asked his security team for options and is reviewing them.

Second Iraq city falls to Al Qaeda-aligned militants

BAGHDAD –  Al Qaeda-inspired militants seized effective control Wednesday of Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, expanding their offensive closer to the Iraqi capital as soldiers and security forces abandoned their posts following clashes with the insurgents.

Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant took control a day earlier of much of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, in a major blow to the authority of the country's Shiite government. An estimated half a million residents fled the economically important city.

Residents reached by telephone in Sunni-dominated Tikrit said the Sunni militant group had taken over several police stations. They spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of their safety.

BAGHDAD -- Islamic militants overran parts of Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul on Tuesday, driving security forces from their posts and seizing the provincial government headquarters, security bases and other key buildings. Gunmen cruised through neighborhoods, waving black banners while residents fled.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki pressed parliament to declare a state of emergency.

The fight for Mosul was a heavy defeat in Baghdad's battle against a widening insurgency by a breakaway al Qaeda group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which has been trying - with some success - to seize territory both in Iraq and neighboring Syria.

As Al Qaeda and the Islamic Jihad Terrorists retake Iraq, Hussein Obama continues to replenish their numbers by releasing Taliban leaders back to the battlefield.

This is what we gave tens of thousands of lives for and hundreds of millions of dollars?

THANKS HUSSEIN OBAMA!

Al Qaeda calling for jihad car bomb attacks on American soil

Robert Spencer May 9, 2014 at 5:38pm Al-Qaeda, Jihad in the U.S. 1 Comment

“Many Fiesal Shahzads are residing inside America and all they need is the knowledge of how to make car bombs… and the good news is it can be prepared in a home kitchen.” And with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies bound as a matter of policy not to examine the beliefs, motives, and goals of the jihad terrorists, it will be well-nigh impossible for them to stop attacks like these. Even if agents get the necessary information to stop them in time, they may not know how to understand or evaluate it properly.
