Obama Responds To Iraq Request For "Kinetic Support", Says Ready To Take Military Action

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As we reported yesterday, Iraq, realizing it has neither the capacity nor the willingness to engage Al Qaeda's ISIS "spin off" did what every other oil-rich regime in such a situation does: asked Obama for "kinetic support." Moments ago Obama gave his response:

  • OBAMA SAYS "I DON'T RULE OUT ANYTHING" WHEN IT COMES TO HELPING IRAQ DEAL WITH INSURGENTS
  • OBAMA SAYS US HAS AN INTEREST IN MAKING SURE JIHADISTS DON'T GAIN A FOOTHOLD IN IRAQ
  • OBAMA SAYS THERE WILL BE SHORT-TERM IMMEDIATE ACTIONS THAT NEED TO BE DONE MILITARILY IN IRAQ, US OFFICIALS LOOKING AT ALL OPTIONS

And here is why, as we predicted yesterday when faced with not only but two brand new scandals, the VA farce and the Berghdal "extraction" fiasco, the most likely outcome is war:

  • OBAMA SAYS IRAQ `CLEARLY IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION'
  • OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SAID NOT CONSIDERING GROUND TROOPS IN IRAQ
  • OBAMA SAYS US IS PREPARED TO TAKE MILITARY ACTION WHEN ITS NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS ARE THREATENED

So the US is about to unleash hell against the same Al Qaeda extremists it was arming across the border in Syria? Score one more for US foreign policy. Meanwhile, the one person who benefits the most from rising crude prices, that would be Putin for those who still don't get it, is laughing all the way to the bank.

Update: good news - the US won't be fighting Iraq's war alone. Here comes.... France:

  • 'FRANCE'S FABIUS SAYS INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST DEAL WITH IRAQ SITUATION URGENTLY
  • FRANCE'S FABIUS SAYS JIHADIST SURGE PUTS TERRITORIAL UNITY OF IRAQ IN DOUBT AND IS MAJOR RISK FOR REGIONAL STABILITY
  • FRANCE'S FABIUS SAYS INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST DEAL WITH IRAQ SITUATION URGENTLY

Funny how France is so generous when pledging the aid of the international community and not, for example, that of France.

Because, sooner or later, someone not on the US, Saudi, Turkish, or Israeli payroll will figure out that by attacking Israel with conventional short range missiles, and provoking a response, these various useful idiot jihadi groups would begin to unite, perhaps even laying aside the very deep Sunni/Shia divide.

That's not good for anyone - civilians in all these countries most of all, but the Americans, Saudis and others have engaged in far more fuckery than they can keep a lid on.

 

If you run through the possible moves, one is these various elements provoking Israel to respond precisely in order to unify many or most of the Salafist/Wahabi groups, perhaps bringing in the Shia of Syria and Lebanon.

 

Had the Scottish and Irish  and Welsh/Cornish clans united rather than squabble with each other, Britain would still be a Celtic country.

Russia learned in Afghanistan that the best policy is to simply pull out and let the tribes fight amongst themselves.  Their internal fighting will prevent them from being any kind of threat and will keep them weak.  The only way to make them a threat is to unite them -- by having a 'super' power (or former one) sticking their nose into one of these tribal warring countries.

What's left of Sadam's revolutionary guard, now looking reconstituted here and there with recruits of different stripes can probably chase the "apostates", (their term)  from Iraq just as they did when Bush Sr. invaded.  Anybody looking closely can see how they are sweeping through the country just as they did in 1991 and picking up more comrades on their march to Baghdad.  Keeping in mind the decendants of these guys have been doing this for hundreds of years so they're well practiced.

When the USA adopted Sunni Terrorists as their weapon of choice to destroy Syria, they made this event in Iraq inevitable. We recruited from all over the world, even Europe and the USA, Jihadists interested in fighting Jihad against the secular government in Syria. We used Libyan recruits and arms we gained by bombing Libya with NATO and taking over to create a terrorist base. Turkey, a NATO nation, set up terrorist camps along it's borders with Syria, all at USA request. We then funded, armed and helped train the Jihadists and the Al-Qaeda who flocked to receive US money and arms. Some went into Syria, other went to Iraq. Iraqi Al-Qaeda and Syrian Al-Qaeda captured border crossings and made a safe path between nations. Now all these well armed and funded Al-Qaeda are taking Iraq, because the Syrian Arab Army has been defeating them and driving them out.

Since the USA destroyed Iraq, it is easy prey for Al-Qaeda. In the last few days, Al-Qaeda has captured store houses full of US weapons, anti tank missiles, anti air craft missiles, vehicles and small arms. You name it, Al-Qaeda has either been given it by the CIA or, now, has stolen it from the US puppet government of Iraq. Al-Qaeda, after more than 12 years of war with America spending trillions of dollars, and thousands of soldiers lives, has NEVER, EVER, been so wealthy, well armed, so large, so well trained and holding so much terrirtory.

Mission accomplished? What I wrote is fact? How has the war on terror worked out? How has the US alliance with Al-Qaeda to attack Syria worked out?  As if that were not enough, the USA has now allied with East European Nazis to destroy Ukraine and start a proxy war against ethnic Russians, and thus Russia itself.

Who runs this fucking shit storm of a foreign and military policy? Why do these State Department, CIA and Pentagon fuckwhits get to keep running this fucking failure?? Cunts!

The U.S. war over Al Qaeda was never against Al Qaeda; the war was for control of Al Qaeda.  Al Qaeda (which doesn´t actually exist in any real form) were U.S.-funded, U.S.-backed anti-Soviet guerrillas in Afghanistan.  When their leadership, including Bin Laden, went off the reservation and began attacking U.S. interests, the U.S. sought to rein in these rogues elements so once again establish allied (Arabian) control of Wahabbi jihad.

It was not, is not, and has never been a war against Al Qaeda; it has been and continues to be a war for control of Al Qaeda.

Obozo with more destruction, killing and ehhhhhhh. Actually, they probably won't. Why because they raped, pillaged and stole everything when they initially invaded Iraq. Only thing left is oil and unless they can gain complete control of the fields, its a loosing proposition for the Langley criminals.

This is all small potatoes, Secretary of State John F. Kerry and President Hussein have said so, Al Qaeda doesn't matter and the real threat is global warming.  Oil is so last millenium.  Hussein probably has a deal with ISIS to shut off all oil production everywhere they go, that's a win-win situation!

"Iraq's Request"? And who in Iraq is making such a request? Since anyone in such a position was put there by the INSURGENTS, i.e. the American invasive species, it would seem that this is all part of an elaborate plan allowing our psychopathic military force to go "duck hunting" over there, AGAIN, and to try out the latest toys (weapons) designed and manufactured by those that make a "killing" on War, and funded by hard working American tax payers. Why couldn't the "Millers" have paid a neighborly visit to some politicans offices in DC last weekend instead of wasting themselves in the garden supply dept of Wal Mart?

We are giving money to Nazis in Ukraine - it would be illegal for Germany to do this.

one day soon all of these "drills" and "exercises" happening in such close proximity to each-other will escalate into the real thing, really fast...

...here, let me help:

 

OBAMA SAYS US IS PREPARED TO TAKE MILITARY ACTION WHEN a special interest group's SECURITY INTERESTS ARE THREATENED

 

I woke up today and felt no threat  myself, but then again, I just get to pay for all this foreign intrigue. Neither Israel nor the big oil companies have ever done anything for me, but I get to pay for killing people to further their interests. Meanwhile, illegals are pouring across the border south of where I live and that does pose a threat to me.

This is perverse and obscene.

And it has been.

I wonder if the American peole realize that this is for real:

"
I am told to write, when my muse left me in the mud...I am told -- write anyway...
tell them, while bent, about willow trees...weeping willows and weeping widows...
tell them about orphaned girls
tell them about the severity of life and the severity of survival...
tell them, for they are a people living in satin like...illusions.

Tell them...and dig stories out of your old ragged sack
tell them when it is not satin nor velvet
tell them...for passwords are meant for all."

Layla Anwar's blog. arabwomanblues.blogspot.com

This is for real:

Wednesday 11 June: 117 killed

Baghdad: 60 killed by bombs, 1 by gunfire.
Mosul: 16 by gunfire, 17 bodies found.
Karbala: 5 by car bomb.
Basra: 2 by car bomb.
Safwan: 5 by car bomb.
Tikrit: 7 policemen by gunfire.
Falluja: 3 by shelling.
Kut: 1 by car bomb.

On July 30, 2013, Manning was found guilty of 20 charges by a military court for his release of the documents, including those pertaining to the Iraq war. The court acquitted him of the most extreme allegation of "aiding the enemy", but he now faces a possible maximum sentence of 136 years, essentially a life behind bars for exposing important truths, including war crimes and human rights violations, to the public.

By contrast, former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, who started a war of aggression against Iraq in 2003 that has led to the deaths of over 125,000 civilians, 4,486 US soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqi and other fighters on all sides, face living the rest of their lives in freedom as multi-millionaires.

THIS IS FOR REAL

On many occasions I observed SGT Temples, SSG Platt and SGT Rogers beat and abuse Iraqi teenagers, some as young as 14, without cause. They would walk into a house near areas where they suspected we had received sniper fire, then detain and beat the kids.

I have photos that support my allegations. I also have numerous other photos on a laptop PC that the unit illegally seized from me. I have requested its return but they have refused.

My experiences have taken a terrible toll on me. I suffer from PTSD and depression. I had no way to stop the ugly actions of my unit. When I refused to participate they began to abuse and harass me. I am still in treatment at the Balboa Naval hospital. I respectfully request that you investigate these matters, that you protect my safety by reassigning me to a different unit that is not located at Fort Carson, that you return my PC or, at least, seize it to protect the evidence on it, and that you issue a military protective order to prohibit the offending members of my unit from harassing, retaliating, or contacting me.

I have some photographs and some supporting documentation to these allegations.

Respectfully,
PFC John Needham

THIS IS FOR REAL


Examples of atrocities aided directly or indirectly by US troops in Iraq include;
- Orders to slaughter “all military age men” during some operations;
- Torturing detainees – many of whom had never engaged in combat and were totally innocent – at grisly prison camps across the country;
- Raping and torturing children at the infamous Abu Ghraib detention facility while they shrieked in terror. Women forced to watch later begged to be killed.
- Sodomizing detainees with chemical lights and broom sticks;
- Indiscriminately firing upon and killing journalists and children from the air;
- Massacring entire groups of unarmed Iraqis, including children and the elderly in Hadith.
“This is what brought me to my actual final mission. Not suicide, but a mercy killing,” wrote Somers, adding that him living “any kind of ordinary life is an insult to those who died at my hand.”
