US officials continue to loudly protest against concerns of “mission creep” in Iraq, but with the rate of the military buildup in the nation it no longer appears at all credible to deny that the administration is moving toward direct involvement in the latest Iraqi War.
Last week saw deployments of growing numbers of ground troops, with claims Obama’s promises of no boots on the ground only covered “combat troops.” Monday of this week, the first combat troops came, with the promise now shifting to a “no combat missions” one.
Even that seems absurd, as the Pentagon sends Apache attack helicopters into Iraq for the combat troops to use in these “non-combat” missions. The administration appears to recognize the unpopularity of a new Iraq War, but seems determined to escalate quietly until it is no longer a potential move to warn against, but a simple reality.
Though US operations center around Baghdad, the first special forces troops have also been sent northward into Irbil to set up a second Joint Operations Center for the fight against ISIS.
Even the denials of America’s war-footing in Iraq are getting mighty slim, with Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey saying of direct US military involvement only “we’re not there yet,” while confirming the US assessment that Iraq can’t retake any of their lost cities without foreign involvement on their behalf.
Promises of no more than 300 US troops have now led to nearly 1,000 troops on the ground, with more coming in all the time, and no signs that the escalation is stopping.
They should have done this months ago while these barbarians in Syria gathering strength, but what I want to know who give these barbarians and savages all that Toyota Tacoma, is USG trying to help japan economy, or these trucks were ordered by Saudis to be shipped to turkey and then delivered to these barbarians. By next election in turkey, if Erdogan wins, you can be assured that he is going to implement the shariah law.
One more thing that I want to know, is Barack Hussein Obama willing to give up his personal, economic and political relation with Saudis over ISIS? We all know that George w. Bush regime was a very good friend of Wahhabis whom are behind ISIS supporting them by all means and we also know that Barack Hussein Obama have a very good relation with George W. Bush? In another word, everywhere you look there is not a single truth coming out of either democrats or republicans but deception, fraud and lies. Close the US Democratic Party, there is no such thing as democracy even exist in this party. But there are lots of liars, is your choice to puck either Hillary Clinton or Jef Bush.
This is so cynical. The best-case scenario is that this Administration defers the collapse of Iraq until the next Administration.
The Presidents change but foreign policy as it pertains to Iraq, has run unabated for 35 years. This is man "shiite" and only a motley crue of males could possibly construct, via compounding of the felony, the cluster#### that is currently the near-failed state of Iraq.
The vast majority of the US population does not grant permission for this.
Dictatorship.
If it's a dictatorship it is one that has been coming since the passage of the National Security Act of 1947. Since then the War Party has done what it wants almost unimpeded. And it doesn't matter a jot what letter is behind the name of the occupant of the Oval Office.
but they are only advisers
