Dana Perino: 'Why would we not be bombing in Iraq' to protect religious minorities?

There was some confusion earlier today as the New York Times reported that the United States had begun airstrikes over northern Iraq, a report that the Pentagon flatly denied. The U.S. has reportedly begun airdrops of humanitarian supplies to the besieged Yazidi Kurds, but there were plenty who were perfectly OK with the first report of bombs being dropped on ISIS forces.

Fox News host Dana Perino was among those asking why the United States wouldn’t be dropping bombs.

What is there to contemplate?

@DanaPerino Christians and Jews are expendable. In areas where Muslims are at risk the Administration acts.

@DanaPerino Because Dana Perino isn't President Perino. That even sounds good. President Perino! 🙂

@DanaPerino Why didn't we bomb all equipment we left in Iraq as soon as ISIS invaded. Why did they get this far? Cuz US gov't is COWARDLY!
