As the president and Clinton enjoyed a meal of surf and turf and pasta as it was revealed that U.S. and British troops were about to be deployed to a mountain in northern Iraq to save refugees who had been stranded there for more than a week.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said his country would shift it’s focus to providing food and water to the hundreds of thousands of displaced Iraqis, many of whom are camped out in the independent region of Kurdistan or Turkey.
Cameron rushed back from vacation yesterday to oversee his country’s response to the humanitarian crisis while Obama stayed put at Martha’s Vineyard.
