What do the air strikes in Iraq and Syria have to do with protecting US Embassies and Consulates?
Perhaps you missed the news about ISIS on a rampage overrunning Iraqi city after Iraqi city and on the march to overtake Baghdad and Erbil where we have an Embassy and Consulate. It was going on just before strikes were made in Iraqi that halted them and gave Kurd and Iraqi forces time to organize and renew their defenses.
I sure did miss that news. Do you have a link to the news story?

That was on 17 June and the only action taken was to send in additional troops to protect the Embassy. If the air strikes were meant to protect the Embassy, why did they wait two months to do them. I read the first strikes were used to protect a large dam in Iraq.
