Such a different time we life in. While the 101st Airborne was holding Bastogne Gen Eisenhower authorized Gen Patton to reverse his southern advance into Germany and Patton brought elements of his 3rd Army all the way back to relieve the 101st Airborne. No one believed that the 101st Airborne could hold out and no one believed that Patton could get there in time.

Obama is not FDR and there are no generals in the Pentagon of the caliber of Gen Eisenhower authorized Gen Patton. The Kurds in Kobanl are not going to get help from the failed American president Obama.
