Officially, the US military occupation of Iraq ended years ago. Nothing is over as far as the Pentagon sees it however, amid reports that they are pushing for increased numbers of advisers and “intelligence officers” to be deployed to the country.
Officials say the military is pushing hard for increased involvement in Iraq, particularly in Anbar, where al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) has taken over much of the province.
Exactly how many US military personnel are on the ground is not public knowledge, and officials would only say “it’s more than before, but not really a lot.”
Central Command also reportedly counseled Iraq against attacking Anbar at present, warning they don’t think the Iraqi Army is up to the task, despite massive weapons shipments to the army to fight that battle. The Pentagon, it seems, is envisioning using this as its ticket back in.
Haven't you people (the US) created enough turmoil in Iraq?
You've already ruined a once proud and happy country – now like hyenas you want to pick on the bones of this country.
There is no bones left to pick, this is part of a planned genocide campaign to wiped out the center of Iraq culture. Hope one day the perpetrators will face war crimes and crimes against humanity.
There they go again…
This really should come as no surprise since the USG is still rife with neocons sitting in positions of influence and policy design. Personally, I'm just surprised its taken this long…
Make the neocons fight the wars they promote. New LAW: Anyone that publicly promotes going to war must SERVE in said war, Front Lines.
Just make sure none of them are wearing MASKS:
