The American president Thursday authorized air strikes on a limited American Iraq to protect Christians and prevent a "genocide" against the tens of thousands of the Yazidi sect who were sheltering summit of Mount fighters for fear of the Islamic state.
Obama accused the Islamic state of wanting to "the systematic elimination of the entire Yazidis, which is a genocide."

He noted that "the process will include Iraqi cities under the control of the organization Daash", which is the acronym for the former name of the organization which was dubbed itself "Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant."
Zebari said "the formation of an operations room combines officers from the Iraqi army and the peshmerga (Kurdish) and experts from the American forces, to identify targets and clearing areas with the participation of (helicopters) Army Aviation" Iraqi.
Maliki does not mean the results of the attack
These developments came the exciting field in a time of increasing pressure on Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of the closest allies of the Shiite impulse to retreat from submitting his candidacy for prime minister for a third term.
He urged the Shiite cleric in Iraq, Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in his Friday sermon - which followed one of his aides on behalf pleased with him in the city of Karbala, Iraqi politicians to choose a prime minister unable to end the security crisis posed by organizing the Islamic state.
Sistani said, alluding to al-Maliki that the politicians who cling to their posts making a big mistake.
Sistani's remarks represent an escalation of pressure on the prime minister to abandon his quest to stay for a third term in office.
Sistani called on Iraqis to unite in the face of "great danger" posed by militants to organize the Islamic state who raised their lead in the north of the country concerned the Baghdad government and its ally the United States.
Fighters seized control of the Islamic state on Thursday Qaraqosh, the largest Christian city in Iraq, and the Mosul Dam, the biggest dam in the country.
And Friday confirmed gunmen seized control of the organization of the Islamic state on the Mosul Dam, one of the major dams of the country and includes a station for electric power generation, which is located north of the city that bears his name.
He ruled Hlkort Ministry spokesman peshmerga (defense) to the Kurdistan region, said that "the militants in control since Thursday evening on the Mosul Dam."
He Bashar Kiki Chairman of the Board of Nineveh province the major cities of Mosul (350 km north of Baghdad) on the control of insurgents dam, in this province, which is controlled by the organization since the beginning of June.
Kiki said, "The militants took control of the organization Daash plug connector fully."
The Mosul Dam on the Tigris River at Lake Mosul, which is located about fifty kilometers north of Mosul, the main source of water in the province of Nineveh and its surrounding areas.
The power plant, one of the main stations in the country, the main source of energy for the province of Nineveh and other areas in northern Iraq.
He warned the American ambassador in Iraq in 2007, Ryan Crocker, and the commander of American forces in Iraq at the time, Gen. David H. Petraeus of the danger of exposure to the collapse of the dam.
He wrote in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that "any failure (collapse) disastrous result in the Mosul Dam flooding along the Tigris River to Baghdad."
He added that when a "more matters worse, the collapse of the bridge may occur in Mosul Alkhoznip maximum capacity of what generates the wave (height) twenty meters on the city of Mosul, and lead to loss of life and physical damage."
And exploiting the Islamic state dams controlled by dumping weapons across large areas, as it did in early 2014, when flooded large areas near the city of Fallujah, west of Baghdad.
But Mosul is considered one of the most important and biggest sites Seen organizing the Islamic state, and the Mosul Dam is important to the economy of the Islamic state, which it considers a center "for the Caliphate State" announced by June.
In the view of John Drake expert group "AK" any security that he "naturally raises the risk that the gunmen opened dumping water and low-lying areas, but it will be in Mosul as if you shoot your foot," referring to the importance of the region for the gunmen.
