Obama Lied: US Sending 300 Additional Troops Into Iraq, Including Detachment Of Helicopters And Drone Aircraft
The lukewarm war waged by the Nobel peace prize winner is getting warmer by the day. Just out from Reuters:
- UNITED STATES SENDS UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 300 TROOPS INTO IRAQ, DETACHMENT OF HELICOPTERS AND DRONE AIRCRAFT - PENTAGON
From Bloomberg:
President Barack Obama says he's sending about 200 more U.S. troops to Iraq to protect Americans and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
The announcement will bring to nearly 800 the total number of U.S. forces in and around Iraq to train local forces, secure the embassy and protect American interests.
Obama notified House and Senate leaders in a letter on Monday. Obama says the additions include security forces, rotary-wing aircraft, and support for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Obama has ruled out sending combat troops back into Iraq. But he says the additional troops will be equipped for combat. He says their purpose is to protect U.S. citizens and property if needed.
Obama says the troops will stay in Iraq until security improves so that the reinforcements are no longer needed.
Note that "this time" it is not just "military advisors" but outright troops: according to the Pentagon, the deployment is “separate and apart” from military advisers deployed to Iraq. This force is deploying for the purpose of protecting U.S. citizens and property, if necessary, and is equipped for combat. This force will remain in Iraq until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed,” Obama says in letter to Congress.
Here is the full Pentagon statement:
Statement from Pentagon Press Secretary, Rear Admiral John Kirby on Additional Security Forces to Iraq
At the direction of the president, the U.S. military augmented its security assistance by up to approximately 200 personnel to reinforce security at the U.S. embassy, its support facilities, and Baghdad International Airport. The president authorized this augmentation as a prudent measure to protect U.S. citizens and property.
These additional personnel arrived in Iraq Sunday and today from locations within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. Capabilities provided include a detachment of helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles, which will bolster airfield and travel route security. Similar to the U.S. security personnel who arrived in Baghdad earlier this month to provide support and security for U.S. personnel and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, they will integrate with existing U.S. embassy security teams.
The presence of these additional forces will help enable the embassy to continue its critical diplomatic mission and work with Iraq on challenges they are facing as they confront Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
In addition, the approximately 100 personnel already prepositioned in the Central Command region -- previously announced by the Defense Department in mid-June -- will also move forward to Baghdad to provide security and logistics support.
These forces are separate and apart from the up to 300 personnel the president authorized to establish two joint operations centers and conduct an assessment of how the U.S. can provide additional support to Iraq's security forces as they confront the grave threat posed by ISIL.
So much for Obama's historic withdrawal of US armed forces from Iraq. Also so much for Obama's latest lie that the US won't be sending US troops to Iraq:
Elsewhere, that other civil war that was put on "hold" has now officially resumed following a statement by Ukraine' president Poroshenko has called an end to the ceasfire and has once again declared martial law in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions.From his just released announcement:
June 30 evening, a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. After discussing the situation, I, as Commander-in-Chief, has decided not to pursue a unilateral cease-fire regime.
Protection of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, safety and life of civilians requires not only defensive but also offensive operations against terrorist militants. Armed Forces, National Guard, the State Border Guard Service, Security Service received appropriate instructions.
We will attack and liberate our land. Non-renewal of the ceasefire - is our response to terrorists, rebels, looters. To all those who are making fun of civilians. Who paralyzing the work of regional economy. Who plucks the payment of salaries, pensions, stipends. Who undermines and destroys railroad plumbing. Who has deprived people of normal, peaceful life.
Look for the US to be sending "military experts" in that region shortly as well.

Obama says the troops will stay in Iraq until security improves so that the reinforcements are no longer needed.
Or, in other words: security will never improve.
When has Obama not lied?
" Now is a great time to buy stawks ! "
March 2009
It's too bad these troops and drones/military equipment won't be in Iraq to help the Iraqi government...
>_>
Logical dilemma
.
Everything below the line is true.
--------------------------------------------
Everything I say is a lie.
Mission creep 2.0
Lies?
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/wh-constitutional-lawyer-oval-office...
Sure. He read the entire decision.
Uh huh
And he's a constitutional lawyer?
Which he is not.
Geeeesh!
A lawyer that lies, what a suprise
What HASN'T Obama lied about?
Things Obama told the truth about:
"Under my plan, your electricy rates will necessarily skyrocket."
"I intend to fundamentally transform America."
"I think when you spread the wealth around it helps everybody."
"According to my Muslim faith..."
"“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … That’s not going to happen."
“…I inhaled frequently. That was the point.”
"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it."
Guess who else is standing with the muslims? Heeeeere's Johnny! http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.blacklistednews.com/ISIS_Ter...
What’s the good of that Peace Prize if you don’t put it to use?

Obama Lied..
Every second of his miserable life is a lie.
Since when do we send reinforcements to secure our embassy?
When they became hub for covert weapons drops.
no the reinforcements/troops are to protect the "advisers"
Ah yes, trading lives to protect "US property". I seem to recall Maj. General Smedley Butler talking about "protecting US corporate interests abroad" some 80 years ago.
"Logical dilemma"
Better one ---> I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
Is there such a thing as military experts?
Oxymoron ?
I wonder how long it would take a fully laden Frogfoot with a rogue pilot to demolish our Baghdad Embassy-Citadel?
Where is the outrage from the democrats? Oh, I forgot, they are too pissed off today believing that employers should provide them with anything and everything they want.
Democrats do what they are told, just like any party line toeing fascist American.
He makes Pinocchio look truthful
When his lips don't move.
The thing ain't called the liar in chief for nuthin...
When he promised to obliterate the USA.
There only there to help...
got your uranium depleted rounds with ya?
Remember... They have... Humvees....
But it will be a funny surprise for the ISIS :)
They are made in America :)
That means... Without a spare part contract... Those will fall apart in a few weeks ;)
Immediate impeachment for exceeding authority if Congress had any balls.
Talking like that will make the Potus to defriend you on facebook you know...
JLee, the Only balls you'll find in congress are being bounced off of their chins as we speak.
you should google search the M1A2 "tank overhaul program." pretty impressive even by Congressional standards. the irony is that twelve years of this war and the folks who have bought all the politicians are about to get wiped out.
Ukraine? not Israel.
Libya? not Israel.
Iraq? not Israel.
sure is one hell of Pincer Movement though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost
I think Israel is looking like Paulus's Sixth Army actually. "Tie down a twenty million man Army while we threaten to rescue you."
Why do we even have a Fucking Congress? Anyone? (crickets, crickets...)
Revolution is close at hand. Apparently, the tree of Liberty needs to be refreshed!!!
Drone-O-Rail!
The new Monorail!
Solves every problem!
Here come the leftist anti-war protests!
Not In Our Name! Code Pink! Doctors Without Borders! Michael Moore! Susan Sarandon! Dixie Chicks! No Blood For Oil! We're Not Gonna -
huh?
wait...
Oh, I guess there are really no protests at all because it's THEIR guy bombing brown people and bringing Democracy via cruise missile.
Glad we got THAT settled! Bush lied! People died!
Obama the black Bush.
Meet the new boss....
The beatings will continue untill morale improves...
Another kinetic war.
Share the depleted uranium, dude.
Excuse me, Mr. Camaro, but we um, here at the White House don't use the word... 'war'. It's 'kinetic military action'. Quite different.
Another kinetic war.
No, no... not "war." You're leaving out the critical bullshit component!
It's a kinetic "action."
Yes, "war" is sooo last decade.
the brown mk ultra defective clown man who would be team usa king
presents a chatham house brookings institute zion play in the vast

isis we have a fuckin russian problem
we are goin down to cia israhell.
Gotta protect that $1 billion dollar Baghdad embassy. And the oil infrastructure of course.
Yes, and then a victory parade on Dick Cheney Street.
A few Putin Jets and the US is falling all over itself to help out!
Then perhaps they shouldn't have given ISIS a collection of 155mm howitzers, which (unlike the mortars they use) can hit the Green Zone from halfway to Fallujah. If ISIS advances a few kilometers and figures out how to properly deploy and use those guns while coordinating with spotters in downtown Baghdad- shit gets interesting real quick.
ISIS = CIA = Mossad, just as in Ukraine.
ZOG wants war, and war it will get!
Can you see? It's all engineered. I believe it's important to point out that Russia is no free-hand here. It's the same Bank-Hole that UK=USA=ISRAHOLE is. Same puppet master.
Great equation. Almost as important as E = MC^2.
Yah, don'tcha know, eh?
Will someone please go up in the attic and look for that "Mission Accomplished" banner.
This guy sure loves to drone.
The speeches or the remote controlled planes?
We need a fucking surge!!! My blood count is getting weak over this shit.....Well I'll be a son of a bitch,,, I just found yellow cake......Where is my contact curveball??????
They tried this last week remember? The news story came out that ISIS found Sadaam's chemical weapons depot.
This reminds me of Zulu with Michael Caine
The beauty of racist cinema.
I mean it was a damn good movie.
Nothing else.
Just think of what an AC-130 could do to a buncha hoodlums like that with one pass.
bbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt sssssss
That's cheating.
What about sending troops to the border to protect American citizens there from invaders?
"The precense of these additional forces will help the embassy to continue it's critical diplomatic mission and work with Iraq on challenges they face as they confront Islamic State in Iraq and the Lavant ( ISIL )."
What is the 'critical diplomatic mission?
Is acknowledgement of ISIL a de-facto recognition of it by the Obama Administration to some extent? Is Obama lending legitimacy to this group by addressing the necessity to deploy troops to confront it and//or protect 'Amercian interests' from it?
Al Maliki was right to lay the debacle at the House of Saud's feet. I feel sorry for the Iraqi people. Since we now negotiate with "terrorists", it wouldn't suprise me to see the Obama regime establish formal communications with all of these groups of fundamentalist Muslim goat rapists...you know, in the spirit of being inclusive. Kumbiya...
I also feel sorry for the poor MSG's (Marine Security Guards) at the Baghdad Embassy. That has got to be sucking about right now.
Is acknowledgement of ISIL a de-facto recognition of it by the Obama Administration to some extent?
ding ding ding. We got a winna get that man a cigar and cupee doll.
Remember who Obama works for.
So...Obama=LBJ?
lying piece of shit...
banker owned bitch...
MoneyChanger puppet mother fucker....
FUCK THE US GOVERMENT...
DEATH TO THE MONEYCHANGERS......
Congress would regain some respect if they got a whif of integrity and removed this guy from office. If they don't, there may be another Lee Harvey around the corner.
yeah right...
as he refuses to do the bidding of the ruling monied elite..
add that sarc thing if u want...
If he hadn't offered up more troops and supplies, that might have been the case.
Obama says the troops will stay in Iraq until security improves so that the reinforcements are no longer needed
Wouldn't it have been easier to just say "forever"?
not as easy as it is to say "reinforcements."
Well... my thoughts are with Iraqi people.
But if we don't fight them over there, uh...we won't ever be able to fight them. And that's just bad use of a military.
"If you like your illegal war, you can keep your illegal war."
"Hey, America! Suck my shit-covered dick!"
Your Emperor needs Worship!
Choppers on the roof. I want to see choppers on the roof.
I think you just bought yourself a first class ticket to your nearest FEMA camp my friend !
Obama lied. Water is wet.
Observe obozo's circumvention of due govt process and disastrous policy decisions resulting in abysmal approval ratings and you realize two things - 1) the liberal media machine does not have as much power as we think, and 2) he simply sucks
It's Groundhog Day!
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results....Obama do you understand that statement?????
It sounds like his corporate puppeteers are getting antsy about the Russian influence.
Russian send 10 jets - so USA must send more, but can't... so we will send more humans or anything else with usa flag on it....
Frankly, this means 3 things.
1) ISIS is kicking Maliki's ass.
2) The Lukoil contracts in the Basra area already configured Russia's influence.
3) The Russian weapons buy further cements Russia's influence and moves the US out, after all that sacrifice.
When Russia solidifies it, there is no way they will let oil production grow there. They will raise the price until the US agrees to amend its Constitution providing the Kremlin veto power over all US domestic law.
I think the bigger message is: history rhymes damn well.
31 years ago, we had a few hundred Marines defending the embassy in Lebanon, and we should all remember how that turned out.
I guess the good news is: we'll get to see for sure if that billion dollar embassy in Baghdad was a good investment. If we manage to defend the airport, it will have been money well-spent, right?
Hey! Mr "Flexible" has already given the Kremlin that power!
"Ain't that what you said.....Liar ! Liar !
Taken my life, so take my soul, that what you said, but who are we to know....
Ain't that what you said.....Liar ! Liar ! "
And congress sits like a limp noodle.
dont' worry we have total existence failure machines armed and burried (tefm)under baghdad, waiting for detonation.
some people call them nukes.
Some call that "Plan Z"
He's just still pissed that his heros got killed last week on "24"...
lies detailed and much much more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kC8oGrHAyI
He is going to drone the shit out of Malaki
I don't know whether to say "HEY, NO SHIT!!!' or ask which time.
Now that the troops and copters are going lets be sure and give that 500million to the luciferian mercenary's ensuring the maximum possible losses on all sides, including civilian.............
Is the same war Obama so bravely voted against while in the Illinois Senate?
Maybe someone told him that sending over a couple hundred guys to slaughter with pea shooters is not exactly the Powell doctrine.
US Soldiers: your orders to deploy are illegal because in the US Constitution, only Congress can authorize it. Not the President.
Your orders to deploy are illegal. You are obligated to refuse to obey illegal orders!
REFUSE TO OBEY.
This doesn't stop until you REFUSE TO OBEY.
So is the new "coalition of the willing" made up of Russia, Iran and the USA?
Just on first sight, on purpose, so simple-minded can see how friendly the US-gov is. It's in fact another proxy-war against Syria/Iran/(Russia).
Main Stream Media: "These are military advisors, so shut up bitchez. Anyone who calls Obama a liar is a racist. Now excuse us, we need to adjust our knee pads in preparation for the next press conference. By the way, this is all Bush's fault."
I saw Walgreens was having a sale on personl lube. They might want to stock up on that.
"Dog Bites Man" is NOT News "Man Bites Dog" IS News
"Obama Lied" is NOT News. "Obama Did NOT Lie" IS News
Another fucking lie! How much longer do we need to put up with this war du jour asshole?! Let him send his wife and daughters over to Irag and fucking lead by example for a change. What a mess this guy is!
He may be mentally unstable, but I sure as hell don't see anyone in Congress or the American people doing anything to stop him?
Those protecting him are mentally unstable.
CK
And that's what always makes it possible!
From the movie Caligula -
The Pretorian General Chaerea: "He's mad he doesn't know what he's doing"...
The elder Statesman: "he knows what he's doing"!...
Sure wish we had a military that would have the "balls" to spill his guts to the entrance of the WH just like that General did in the movie and for that matter every one of them all the way back to 1945!!!
I'm on my way right now to talk some sense into him. I'll let you know what he says after we talk.
Hey, that was a good article. Who wrote it, Captain Obvious?
Step one: Send in few young men to be beheaded or otherwise tortured graphic for the enjoyment of the masses.
Rest is easy. It will only hurt a little.
One of the problems with dealing with radical islamist jihadis is that they were "stateless" guerilla fighters.
But, now they have declared an islamic state-so now we have a definite place to carpet bomb these barbarians back into the 7th century that they so love.
Obama never lies - but he does reserve the right to change his position every day.
Numbers are for the little people.
I bet dollars to doughnuts that these advisors and drones will be used to report on Iraqi positions, relay the intel to the absurd ISIS cobra commander commandos, and try to sink Maliki's government.
Who knows what the story is. Perhaps Maliki is blocking a pipeline to somewhere, perhaps the powers that be just need a little war to distract other countries. Or perhaps this is like that Star Trek episode in which the three leaders are actually just brains, so corrupt and self-absorbed that they need warfare to feel excited about something.
What is clear is that the US government sold out the Iraqi installed government, is supporting the so-called ISIS bloc, and could have taken down this low-grade Sunni band of terrorists within hours. Desert + column of technicals = A10 shooting gallery.
Remember in Space Balls when Dark Helmet ordered 'Ludicrous Speed'? Well, we are at ludicrous speed in terms of the insane contrived wars.
He wouldn't let Obama keep his toy soldiers in Iraq. They never learn. It's pretty simple. Don't buck the US, fall in line, do as you're told and no one gets a hanging video on Youtube.
And CONgress will roll over like the good statist dog it is.
Has anyone noticed CONgress utterly abdicating it's duties and abdicating the throne to the Imperial Branch?
That's why they're at 7% approval, among so many other reasons.
The Imperial Branch is completely out of check and the pervasive lawlessness is plain to see.
The only spines in CONgress are in the library.
Strange not a word from the UN. Some Khmer Rouge peacekeepers might work.
I want to see more Al Qaeda on Al Qaeda killing.
Give that man a prize, a peace prize.
Another one? The first one is in the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum.
As soon as Obama declared the US would be sending "advisors" to Iraq, a new war was guaranteed.
But the problem is, we can't afford it, and if ISIS goes into Saudi Arabia, which is the backbone of the petrodollar, we will be screwed as well.
This entire situation is a damned if you do, damned it you don't type deal.
Got Gold?
Obama wanted to leave troops in Iraq. Maliki refused. Then suddenly ISIS (armed and backed by the US in Syria against Assad) is in Iraq and causing us to send back those very same troops. Eh, coincidental. We'll be up to 10K before you know it.
Hahhaha, my ISIL army will wipe out the US Army! Why? They are pussies! How do I know? A real US Military would arrest me! All that will be left is my new Mexican DHS army.
I am Your Chimp! You WILL obey my commands!
Drowning swimmers. You have to go through fierce rough water situations with drowning swimmers to fully appreciate the panic and desperation of a drowning swimmer. I have been in many. Everytime, as clear as I tell this story, the same thought came to my mind: Glad I've been here before.
The politicians and bankers responsible for orchestrating the global mayhem of war underway on this planet and crashing economies are drowning swimmers caught in an "Economic" fierce rough water situation. They are behaving very predictablly like drowning swimmers; panic and desperation grabbing at anyone and anything in their desperation.
Days of focused and coordinated thought are long gone for these bankers and politicians. Their actions are purely reactionary responses to panic and desperation as they realize they are in the same "Economic" fierce rough water situation with all those they laid prey upon and tossed into the fierce rough water situation in the first place.
There is no getting out. In fierce rough water situations, if you maintain discipline and resolve, you will wash out the other side wherever that is and maybe alive.
Sending troops, drones, naval vessels all escalate terrible situations and people die. More and more will die as the desperate panic of these bankers and politicians seizes them and they become ever more paniced and desperate. None of these decision makers are thinking; they are reacting like drowning swimmers; desperate, panicked, clutching at anything and anyone they can get their hands onto.
ZeroHedge and other alternative sites provide abundant advice from clear minded individuals that remain calm and tender good advice to survive this "Economic" fierce rough water situation. As bankers and politicians pour more death and destruction onto an escalating situation, it is clear they are reacting in panic and desperation just like drowning swimmers.
There is no getting out. If you survive this it will be because you maintained discipline and resolve. As the intensity of this "Economic" fierce rough water situation increases, expect to witness and experience increasing panic and desperation from bankers, politicians, and millions more people. There is no getting out. Don't panic, maintain discipline and resolve, and you might survive.
I didn't know that drones can tell the difference between shi'ite and sunni. I expect the future to prove that they really can't make a difference.
drone testing on live subjects
This is (sadly) hilarious. He is supporting BOTH sides!
There is no way this motherfucker puppet should be where he is.
He's already announced a Dictatorship, and nobody challenges him.
There is proof right there this government is doomed, this country is Finished.
"Hahaha, I'm a chimp! Nobody wants to fire the chimp! If you try, I will call a Chimpout!!"
Soon my Mexican army will finish off all you crackers, hahahhaha! Damn! I feel like some dick. Where you at, Reggie? Bring me the crack pipe!
Don't you worry - everyone is going to be drawn into this war, one way or another.
Again the President has shown he has a loose relationship with the truth.
