The Obama administration has been talking about the possibility of air strikes

Other possible options include providing humanitarian support

Ground troops not being considered, according to the White House

Minority groups trapped by fighting after new ISIS offensive in northern Iraq

Because in the eyes of the US, it's in a particularly inhumane fashion. No one likes to hear about children and elderly slowly dying of thirst, and everyone expects something to be done to stop it.

Looks like they're starting with air drops, then perhaps moving to air strikes. I have a feeling the air drops will be brutally intercepted once they hit the ground.

[link to online.wsj.com]

"The Obama administration is considering airstrikes against Islamic militants in northern Iraq in a move to protect American personnel in the city of Erbil as Islamic militants pose a growing threat to the country's Kurdish heartland, U.S. officials said.

The administration also planned beginning Thursday night to send military aircraft to drop emergency aid into to members of the Yazidi religious minority, besieged on a northern Iraq mountainside by Sunni extremists."

"Once Mr. Obama made the decision to approve the humanitarian airdrops on Thursday, administration officials said, the decision for airstrikes became more likely. For one thing, the American C-130 planes that would be likely to drop the food and medical supplies fly low and heavy, and would release the supplies from 500 to 1,200 feet.
Forces with ISIS are not believed to have surface-to-air missiles, but they do have machine guns that could hit the planes at that altitude, according to James M. Dubik, a retired Army lieutenant general who oversaw the training of the Iraqi Army in 2007 and 2008"
