Obama Sends 275 Troops To Iraq As Explosions Rock Baghdad Airport
UPDATE: Moar 'boots on the ground' - U.S. TO DEPLOY UP TO ABOUT 275 ARMED FORCES PERSONNEL TO IRAQ
If you like your boots on the ground, you can keep them - as long as they are Special Forces boots. Following promises that there would be no American "combat" 'boots on the ground', AP reports that President Obama is considering sending a small number of special forces to help the government in Baghdad. According to the official rules of "boots-on-the-ground"-edness, CIA and Special Forces do not count so 'officially' no promises have been broken. It's not clear how quickly the special forces could arrive in Iraq; or whether they would remain in Baghdad or be sent to the nation's north. With rumors of explosions rocking Baghdad airport, we suspect the former.
The White House is considering sending a small number of American special forces soldiers to Iraq in an urgent attempt to help the government in Baghdad slow the nation's rampant Sunni insurgency, U.S. officials said Monday.
While President Barack Obama has explicitly ruled out putting U.S. troops into direct combat in Iraq, the plan under consideration suggests he would be willing to send Americans into a collapsing security situation for training and other purposes.
...
It's not clear how quickly the special forces could arrive in Iraq. It's also unknown whether they would remain in Baghdad or be sent to the nation's north.
But The White House is being very careful to exaplin that this is not "real" boots on the ground...
White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said no combat troops would be sent to Iraq, but that the U.S. is looking at other options.
"The president was very clear that we will not be sending U.S. troops back into combat in Iraq," Hayden said in a statement. "That remains the case and he has asked his national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support Iraqi security forces."
Just special ones...
The mission almost certainly would be small: one U.S. official said it could be up to 100 special forces soldiers. It also could be authorized only as an advising and training mission — meaning the soldiers would work closely with Iraqi forces that are fighting the insurgency but not officially be considered as combat troops.
The troops would fall under the authority of the U.S. ambassador and would not be authorized to engage in combat, another U.S. official said. Their mission is "non-operational training" of both regular and counter terrorism units, which the military has interpreted to mean training on military bases, not in the field, the official said.
...
Already, about 100 Marines and Army soldiers have been sent to Baghdad to help with embassy security, according to a U.S. official.
Obama made the end of the war in Iraq one of his signature campaign issues, and has touted the U.S. military withdrawal in December 2011 as one of his top foreign policy successes.
Mission Accomplished...

I'm glad he took a long weekend of rest and relaxation hitting up 2 golf courses and house hunting to consider all the options. He's still trying o decide what to do.
Me? I would have already carpet bombed the roads leading into Baghdad. But that's just me.
I suggested nukes: 11 years ago. I suppose that has someting to do with my call-sign and my unit's promise to not support my election to public office. :/
Nothing stopping you or your buddy above from becoming mercenaries.
Let's see it, fellas.
Sure there is: Old age, beer belly, and blond strippers.
Yeah, what's really needed there is training.
It's always the first priority, when you're under active machine gun and RPG fire.

SMERRRRRRRRRRRRSH.....
Has ISIS announced how they plan to price oil yet?
That is the problem, its gold.
nothing else would have dragged Obozo back into boots on the ground in Iraq.
Wonder if a missing airliner is about to hit the US embassy in Baghdad soon.
Lying mancunt. Fuck you, Obama.
Blackwater mercs under contract don't count
as "boots" either according to the latest official legal interpretation of the 'official' rules.

"Advising and training" - didn't Iraq just get 10 years of that?
"to help the government in Baghdad".... escape (with their loot?) LOL.
Do they possess the ARROGANCE that the masses are actually so dumb to believe their BS, or do they lack the INTELLECT to see the disconnect in their lie - saying it's only training, away from the font, but yet this is going to make to make any difference whatsoever or is even an appropriate response to situation they confront?
If you're going to lie, why not come up with a plausible lie that demonstrates at least a basic grasp of logic and/or the military?
Something like, "We're sending 500 marines and 100 support personnel to reinforce the US embassy in Bagdad."
They just might--if it were even necessary. Which says a lot about our sad state these days.

Read it and it will make sense when you look at this move in the bigger picture of Benghazi and the VA scandal.
Some more background reading

and if you know 'how' to read the Associated Pravda.
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/apnewsbreak-cia-cites-officers-harassment
Pay attention to the language.
This announcement is nothing more than agti-prop against the special operations community and CIA since things are heating up again concerning the above. If it was anything else there wouldn't be a public announcement......
With that said most likely they are training MEK and other operatives to push into Iran with the ISIS or deal with the Kurds to keep them from declaring independence.
"But there is something else about the speech of psychopaths that is equally puzzling: their frequent use of contradictory and logically inconsistent statements that usually escape detection."
And it is not just him, the whole financial industry is run by the same inbred pyschopaths who believe in purity this guy just happens to be an alpha pyscho.
To give an example since pyschopaths tend to be inbred and that brain wiring is genetic in nature as opposed to sociopaths who are created by environmental factors you would expect it in certain groups who can trace lineage like this with largely undilluted bloodlines. You know ones that tend to show up in all the key control points in society in the US.

You can reason that holds true for 'elites' also. Something that could most certainly be proved through empirical means via mental health screenings and such. The special ops mental health screening would force these people out into the open real quickly. They don't suffer from PTSD problems for a reason.
and more importantly from the article a point I hammer on over and over concerning worship of idoltry and it being a human condition and root cause of all these fucking problems.
...
According to one individual who suffered at the hands of a psychopath:
Over and over again we come up against that little problem: religion and belief systems that have to be defended against objective evidence or the beliefs of others. We have to ask ourselves "where did these belief systems come from that so evidentially are catastrophic?" And then, we have to think about the fact that now, in the present day, when many of these systems are breaking down and being replaced by others that similarly divert our attention away from what IS, it becomes necessary to "enforce" a certain mode of thinking. And that is what Psychopaths do best.
Psychopaths dominate and set the standard for behavior in our society. We live in a world based on a psychopathic, energy stealing food chain, because that's just the way things are. Most people are so damaged they no longer have the capacity to even imagine a different system based on a symbiotic network.
...
And when you have a society that is run by these people en masse it permeates into the society in general through environmental factors like excessive consumerism which in turn favors narcissism worshipping the financial religion and it's idol of the toilet paper dollar which is 'food' which in turn after about 2 to 3 generations reshapes a whole society and you have an explosion of narcistic individuals that can't do anything for themselves that eventually drag the whole thing down which is were we are now.
Send HRC the thundercunt to lecture them over the minaret speakers.

I'm sure "special" is right. You'd have to be to go back to Iraq.
From the Royal Master of the "hole in one" golf cart...
In case anyone hasn't seen these yet to the backdrop of Senator Lindey Graham's pronouncements earlier this weekend that yet another "spectacular event" of 9/11 proportions is well on it's way just like he did with the nuclear catastrophe in South Carolina last September, the President is releasing yet "more of the hounds"...
Maybe "Ass-puppet-in-chief's" warning in March will finally come true as they blame it on the incarcerated terrorists we have had for years are now being released by the U.S. Government!
Should Mr. Baghdadi and friends not cut it as U.S. backed terrorists, I'm sure Israel has a job in one of there many embassies around the globe if the "regulars" go on strike again!...
Special boots for a special kind of stupid president.
if anything the u.s. military should be helping sabotage shiia militias that are forming to aid whatever people are calling the 'iraqi' army. there is no iraqi aramy. most liberal baghdadis actually are victims that don't want shiia or sunni religious extremism. they have no choice. this WILL be an ethnic religious civil war whether iraqi's want it or not. imagine if the evangelicals in the united states started a civil war. the first militia's to organize in opposition would be the self declared 'atheist coalition' . oligarchs would be creaming their pants as americans were killing one another. its hard to imagine hardcore atheists who are from cities going anywhere to fight anything----but precents for such behavior exist. and atheists are plenty stupid too. .
war is peace! satan wins every time bitches. GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL1!!!!

I'll snap out of it after you remove your tin foil hat.
There are loads of Sandy videos. I thought it was BS until I saw the endless crisis actors, dummied up pictures and on. The weird real estate records of homes all bought at the same time. The state police doing a drill at another school at teh same time. the school get demolished to cover everything up.
Two weeks after the incident, on December 27,2012, the local newspaper - the Newtown Bee - had a short article by reporter Andrew Gorosko. The last line - in almost a throw away tone - described an armed man apprehended in the woods behind the school immediately following the shootings. (video of the chase/apprehension viewable on youtube) as "an off duty tactical police officer from another town".
So ... just moments after, and mere yards away, from a mass slaughter, an armed policeman is running from the scene???
Just normal behavior, I'm sure ... no need to "pursue" this ...
yep Hezbollah would lick these Salafist CIA bastards faster than you could say Qusayr 2013...
Why don't you go rape an unaccompanied female...isn't that what you do in your society? Or throw some battery acid in her face, cut off her nose, or simply beat her to within an inch of her life for disobeying? Salim Alakim
it is a psyop for sure, but since when are real small conflicts classified as being unable to be 'psyops'.
it's as if to you 'psyops' means the whole thing is set up on a fake stage with no real shooting or real death.
since when can military actions themselves, real military actions, be forbidden from being arranged as psyops in advance too?
And when the first hostage is taken, we will have 24/7 coverage, complete with the screen-graphic with the number of days passed...
Man....it'd suck to be an MSG in Baghdad about now. I hope these Marines stay safe. We'll need all the patriots we can get back here at home someday soon I'm afraid.
Special troops? Aren't they all special? I'm just glad they're going back into Iraq to defend my freedoms all the way over here, so I can keep eating Doritos and sucking down high-fructose corn syrup while I watch my reality TV.
“it's Tactical footwear, not boots...period.” - BO
Tylers! Add news about Poland cause we went wild! Someone released tapes with a conversation among the Head of the Polish Central Bank and "future" Minister of Finance (not anymore I guess). They are discussing how they can start printing money to inifinity too! They don't want to be behind the US or Japan. As the constitution does not allow the Central Bank to buy obligations directly from the Government, the Head of Central Bank will encourage other institutions (read banks) to buy these obligations and sell them to him. Oh boy, that escalated quickly BITCHEZ!
Forget "Boots On The Ground"...
I think a boot - steel toe-capped - applied to Barry Hussein's nut-sack, might be more efficacious
The weapons being used ISIS were manufactured somewhere. They were distributed by someone. The vast western Spookocracy surely knows the answers to these questions.
Making this information public would make a great starting point for public debate, informed consent, popular sovereignty, ya know democracy.
Best of all I can type this with a straight face.
The mission almost certainly would be BIG: one U.S. official said it could be up to 100000 special forces soldiers. Thats closer to the truth
You know why the airfield is especially important to Obama at this junction, why the sudden change of heart regarding boots on the ground? It's not for the bombing runs, drone takeoffs, or fighter jet refueling, but because the airfield offers just about the only viable rapid evacuation route for the Iraqi mega-embassy. Should ISIS take control, Obama will have blood of 55000 Americans on his hands overnight.
The reason special forces are considered is because bombing would destroy critical infrastructure, completely defeating the purpose of the operation.
The embassy does have its own takeoff/landing facilities, and perhaps pullout has already started. We'll soon find out what's really going on and how bad things are.
Don't worry! Everything is under control. John Kerry is at this very moment asking the Iranians to put the situation right. Given the great love that the Iranians have for "the Great Satan" (as they affectionately call Uncle Sam), I am sure that they will jump at the chance to be of service to the US.
Iran might be willing.
Here's the price.
Elimination of all sanctions of any kind.
Cessationn of all US research into alternative energy.
A formal apology from the US President to the Iranian people for mistreating them.
when ISIS and the Iranian army join hands and sing Kumbaya, then do suppose the price will change?
'Elimination of all sanctions of any kind.'
Unfortunately, the U.S. Knesset is not going to permit any such thing, with the usual 400+ vote margin.
So does this mean it's okay for Russia to send Special Troops into Ukraine?
I hear they are considering it.
Obama is trying to force decisions and he's always coming up wrong. He's starting to crack under the pressure of administrating failures. He's way over his head and always has been but his Ego won't allow him to see any realities. He's an odds on favorite to freak out before his term is up. You watch. Elect A New Congress . com
"He's starting to crack under the pressure of administrating failures."
He'd have to care in order to crack. I'm not holding my breath.
He'll drift for two more years, then start to cash in.
To crack, one does need a conscience, I believe.

After boogeying for 10+ years, let's just sit this last dance out and start shuffling to the exits. It's clearly not OUR party any more. Oh what the hell, let's ask the Mid East Experts - W, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz [how ever the hell you spell that cunt's name], Rice and other assorted toadies....WHAT TO DO NOW?....
The answer:
You do whatever you have to for the oil.
What is it about this you do not understand. Begin and end all analysis of more or less all things with oil, and you will understand things.
"Obama considers......' Really? A monkey on a string considers. I haven't seen that one before.
that's just the local sunnis celebrating their 4th of July. this should be a comparatively bloodless coup. Malaki will get a few neighborhoods to govern. the US negotiations should be on drawing the line, leave the southern part of Iraq alone, hammer on the Kurds all you want, keep the airport open, the embassy open. in exchange for a few pickups full of fiat american glory thrown from the back of pickup trucks, (see american malcontents what a little bravado will get you?) saudi and kuwait are crapping their pants. this is far worse than Saddam, and its right on their border. best US intelligence is probably that the movement will need years to consolidate its gains. what me worry? as long the narrative of Jeffersonian democracy in Iraq remains alive, and the plaque above the entrance to their little potemkin village in Baghdad, alls right with the media and the world. it could all be moved inside the green zone, with a kiosk for Maliki. is that too much to ask?

I find a sad humor in the USA policy in Iraq now. I call it the Rodney King policy. After blowing the country to pieces for 10 years we now look at them with sad eyes and say '...why can't you all just get along...'
I must hand it to our spooks, our current position on the MidEast is so secret that no one can figure it out. For all anyone can tell we don't even have a 'policy' per se...we just let shit happen and react...barely...very top secret...bet even the president doesn't know...that poor lost soul...
"Brezy, yes Henry...let Obama know at least enough so he can pronounce the names of the countries we are fighting in...
hurump..why should we...we didn't tell Bush and no one was the wiser..."
If I were Russia and China, I would impose "Sanctions" on the USA for what they are doing in Iraq, never mind the other places they are sending in "drones" CIA and others.
Obama and Congress still don't get it. People have had enough.
So, let me get this straight. This organized army appears out of nowhere, sporting US arms and riding in a huge fleet of brand new Toyota pick-up trucks? (at least they could have used GM trucks, since apparently they have a lot in inventory.
... and we are expected to believe that the CIA was clueless and not involved?
Tell me another one O'Bozo!
The powers behind the scenes are wanting us to believe that this has all been foretold in the bible. Why? Because, that is what they are using as their script for the great play they are entertaining us with... and people are sucking it up, and they will expect a savior.
But it is fantasy and only a deception. And for those of us in the US, it is much more so since they have the power and ability to rehearse and stage the photos and videos in the manner that they wish to sell the story.
One can tell where the goat has passed by the cloven hoofprints he leaves.
ISIS won't use GM trucks. Too many recalls and the engines shut off if you bang your knee on the keys! They might be terrorists, but they are not stupid! :-)
They'd most likely use them for car bombs because their "ignition" is good to go from the factory.
The defects are the cars that don't catch on fire.
I can believe the CIA was clueless. Remember they said there were WMDs in Iraq in the first place.
Maybe if the NSA spent as much effort listening to phone calls in Iraq as they do in the US, it wouldn't have come as a surprise.

It has to be done as the main advantage the government forces have is air strikes, drones, etc. The problem is that the existing Iraqi forces either do not have the ability to do this or cannot be trusted to do so. Hopefully the 'boots' will be protected. If they can bring in air power the rebels will need to retreat.
Is that you, Donny Rumsfeld?
'The rebels will need to retreat' -- LOL!
Why do these dumb cunts called soldiers submit to being the mercenaries of the US.gov corporation. Be careful fellas and don't get caught by ISIL.
Until every member of the US milita return home to their true role of protecting the US and it's citizens ON US SOIL, until every American start demanding this happens, then the US is finished as a nation.
Everyone has the power to put a stop to this now. Just a handful of people need to drive their cars to choke points of their major cities, turn off the engine, take out the keys and walk away. The cities can be brought to a stand still and all you will have done is incurred a parking fine. This can be done over and over again until commerce is no longer possible and the money funneling into Washington is severly impacted.
This is the most readyily available and most powerful form of dissent available to every man women and child in the US. No one gets hurt expect those fucking crony, oligarch mother fuckers running the US.gov corporation. Go steal the cars if you don't want to sacrifice your own. Co-ordinate with your co-conspirators to block lanes in both directions across bridges and at freeway exits. If you end up in court then plead insanity: "Your honor, who in their right mind would park on a bridge".
With all the horrible death and suffering terrorists wreak on inncocent people all the stupid cunts have to do is park a few cars at strategic points and instead of killing a few inncocent human beings they can inconvenience hundreds of thousands. This will have a far more potent and long term effect because it affects everyone.
Get to it Americans. Go park your cars and bring Washington to a stand still until these fuckers are thrown out of congress.
The current situation in Iraq, and the middle east overall reminds me some of the book I'm currently reading on cancer. It's not an exact anallogy, but the book is largely on how the war on cancer has not been a success. Current tools used in fighting cancer in western medicine tend to be the knife for removing cancer growth, and poisons of one form or another to destory further cancer cells. All to often though these tools do not cure. Growth will often return with time. The treatments are harsh too, with the patient typically left in a permant weakened state.
As the author writes, there are other treatment ideas for treating cancers that have largely been unexplored, for one reason or another.
With cancers in society, America doesn't have the best record at defeating long term it seems. With the current troubling situation, it makes me think new approaches should be viewed. The middle east countries might not be saveable, but if an attempt is made to stabilize, traditional methods at fighting this cancers growth seem poor and ineffective.
