The Iraq War Officially Begins (Again): US Troops Prepare For Rollout As US Drones Strike ISIS Positions
U.S. military officials say an armed American MQ-1 Predator drone has attacked and destroyed a mortar position of Islamic militants in northern Iraq. As WaPo reports, the drone attack marks a departure for the U.S. military, which had said previously that drones were flying missions over Iraq only to collect intelligence. No boots hit the ground in the carrying out of this action...
An American MQ-1 drone strike took out a firing position that Islamic militants used to target Kurdish forces in northern Iraq, according to the U.S. military.
The military said in a statement that a U.S. drone struck and destroyed an ISIS mortar position at around 7:55 a.m. ET on Tuesday.
The mortar position was firing on Kurdish forces defending members of the Iraq's Yazidi religious minority who were trying to evacuate the area, U.S. Central command added.

Update:
- U.S. SAID TO LAND TROOPS ON MT. SINJAR IN IRAQ, ABC NEWS SAYS
More:
United States Marines, special forces and the USAID disaster assistance relief team briefly landed today on Mt. Sinjar in Iraq, a U.S. official told ABC News.
It was the first time ABC News has learned of any Americans landing on the mountain, where thousands of Yazidis are trapped and facing a humanitarian crisis.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced on Tuesday that the United States has sent a 130 member military assessment team to Erbil in the autonomous Iraqi province ofKurdistan to determine what further assistance the U.S. can provide to the Yazidis.
Lol: "briefly"...
It didn't take long for Obama's latest stern promise that no US troops would be on the ground to become... troops are now on the ground.
The good news, as US troops are about to fight ISIS mercenaries armed with US weapons, is that for now at least, no US troops have died in this most recent US intervention in Iraq - the latest in a series of US humanitarian liberation of the middle east country beginning in 1990.
But what happens when the first bodybags come home? What will the Nobel Peace Prize winning president's spin be then?

Don't the islamic militants possess super tank-busting US rockets and other US top military gear, supplied by CIA to fight Russian-built Sirian main battle tanks? US army will get some experience in Iraq...
You guys quit your gripes. Maaaan.................. President Obummer has already got Hamas and Israel to agree to a ceasefire. And he has already saved the Yazidis, the Kurds, the Christians in Iraq. On top of that, he had to talk Putin into agreeing to send relief supplies to the Ukraine.
And now, he's got to send an agonizing time with Michelle and the kids at Martha's vineyard.
And he's always on the phone, dealing with the Ebola crisis, he's having to play golf with just one hand.
Oh yeah, he's organizing a community workshop for them black folks in Ferguson too.
Just a mortar position? This must be some ignorant progressive propaganda for obamatron assclown consumption.
Much better to show off another "highway of death" result. Morons.
No matter, bloody neo-stalinist criminals are gearing up for much more death. Screaming progressives try to sate their blood lust killing millions of defenseless babies, the millions dead from progressive eco-murderers bringing back malaria, destroying quality of life for all poor people with the progressive war on cheap energy but it is not enough, no progressives must continue the bloody path they crave.
Big government progressives=big government death. Power kills, motherfuckers. Witness Hillary Clinton's intentional murder of the ambassador to Libya and other Americans just to cover failed policy of arming the enemies of the United States, the murdering fellow travelers of totalitarian islam. Hillary says "what difference does it make?" What a cold blooded murdering bitch and she wants more blood, you can be sure.
Hillary is pissed off the USA is not killing more in Syria. Bloodthirsty off the fucking charts man.
Check the pile of corpses big government leftists claim in just the last hundred years:

And they want more.

Whatever Obama says, know that he means the opposite. That's all you have to remember.
Zombie Attack
"What do they want from us," asks one young fighter who only a few weeks ago still worked as a cashier in a supermarket. "These madmen keep on attacking and they continue to come at us even after they've been shot. I hit one of them twice. He only stopped after he was shot in the head. They're insane. They come here to die."

A drone takes out *one* mortar? A bomb takes out *one* artillery piece and truck?
WTF-carpet bomb these barbarians with cluster bombes-cluster bombs are bitchin'!
The War is Jihad. Iraq is just one part of it. Time to get together with Brother Ass and start killing the cockroaches of Islam. Or Submit. Your pick.
