Obama Plans "Non-Boots-On-The-Ground Humanitarian-Adviser-Marines-Led" Yezidi Rescue Mission In Iraq
Last night we nearly exploded when the adminstration tried to explain how the 130 Marines (military advisers) were non-combat troop 'boots-on-the-ground' in Iraq. Today, the State Department, Pentagon, and White House are all out with mind-numbing propaganda to reassure an anxious America that a planned rescue mission of 'thousands' of Yezidi will be entirely supported by non-combat troops.
As Reuters reports, the headlines are mind-numbing:
State Department:
- *`IT'S A VERY DIRE HUMANITARIAN SITUATION ON THE MOUNTAIN': HARF
Pentagon:
- *U.S. GROUND FORCES WILL NOT BE IN COMBAT ROLE IN IRAQ: RHODES
White House:
- WHITE HOUSE SAYS U.S. HAS NOT MADE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW TO CARRY OUT RESCUE MISSION IN NORTHERN IRAQ, WANTS OPTIONS TO GET STRANDED IRAQIS TO SAFER PLACE
- OBAMA HAS RULED OUT USING U.S. GROUND FORCES IN COMBAT IN IRAQ, BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS U.S. CAN SUPPORT BRINGING IRAQIS TO SAFE PLACE -WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN
- WHITE HOUSE CONSIDERING RANGE OF OPTIONS INCLUDING SAFE CORRIDORS AND AIRLIFTS TO MOVE STRANDED IRAQIS
But perhaps even the White House knows we are not all that dumb...
- WHITE HOUSE DECLINES TO RULE OUT POSSIBILITY OF U.S. FORCES ON THE GROUND IN IRAQ IN HUMANITARIAN ROLE.
Because it seems like so far the US has made no difference:
- *ISLAMIC MILITANTS STILL CONTROL SINJAR CITY, HIKMAT SAYS
* * *
Just be honest - it's about the oil (not a few thousand 'alleged devil-worshippers') and these are full-fledged hard-to-the-core US Marines and SpecOps personnel...
As Dmirty Orlov wrote recently:
If you've been paying attention to the news, the US is bombing Iraq again, this time to avert a humanitarian crisis: a group of Yezedis is stranded on top of a mountain, driven there by those Daashing lads from the Islamic State (the Arabic name for them is “Daash”).
Now, if your reaction on hearing these news was “Who the heck are the Yezedis?” then you are in good company. This is a very obscure, fairly small, incredibly ancient cult, and few people have heard of them. I have, and so my reaction was “Oh no, they are killing the devil worshipers!”
...
The Yezidis are quite secretive about their very complicated religion and its myriad compulsive rituals and superstitions, but it is known that they worship a deity known as the Peacock Angel, which, correctly or incorrectly, has been interpreted to be Satan. Consequently, the Yezidis have been persecuted as devil worshipers with gruesome consistency. There is no doubt that the boys from the Islamic State consider them to be the worst kind of heathen, and, since their policy is to behead first and ask questions later, there is little chance that they can be shifted from this position. Spin it any way you like, but everyone in the region knows this group as “the Yezedi devil-worshipers.”
Preventing genocide and ethnic cleansing is generally considered a pretty good reason to start a fight. But the Obama administration seems quite selective in this regard.

Bammy didn't have to splain anything.
Lamestream used 'advisers' in headlines, as they were told, without question.
Non-boots because they are tap dancing around the tough questions.
So we send marines and bombs into Iraq and that's considered humanitarian. Putin sends white trucks full of food and medical supplies into the Ukraine and that's considered........?
Clearly a blatant violation of international law! As far as the West will have you believe...
does this non- boots -on- the- ground..etc...come with cheese...
I wrote the following in a reply to an artricle from the Hoover Institution - but the moderator of the thread spiked it and wouldn't let it run.
Can anyone opine about why?
I hate to break it to the author, but he is way behind the curve - The Islamic State holds the Mosul Dam and that is the "nuclear option" that now controls everything in Iraq.
The real question he should be addressing is how did this multi-billion, if not multi-trillion, espionage monster fail to detect a bunch of pickup trucks carrying irregulars on a two-lane highway under clear skies moving to rout the Iraqis masquerading as an army?
That is the real disaster of Obama - and Queen Diane, and the rest of the Intelligence hacks in Congress - the utter, complete failure to be aware of the IS and know what it was doing. The can read every email in America but can't satellite photograph and drone photograph IS on an open 2-lane highway in the middle of the day?
The truth is that Obama has turned these incompetents loose on America to spy on our every move, and let the rest of the world go into a Death Spiral.
The Death Spiral is fueled by the criminality of the Obama administration - the felonious funding to the tune of $5-billion the overthrow of a legitimate democratic government in Ukraine; and now lying relentlessly about the truth that the MH17 flight's only visible damage is from 30mm cannon fire that was shot by two Ukraine SU-25s that are the real murderers in this war crime. (Anyone heard the air traffic controllers’ tapes with MH17? Why was it diverted 300 miles north to fly over a war zone? What has the Ukrainian so-called security service done with the Spanish controller on duty at the time? This is such a ham-handed war crime by the Right Sector Nazis running the show in Kiev in collaboration with the CIA - and when did the US start backing modern-day Nazis in the first place?)
There is so much more - the Benghazi Rat Line, the lies refusing to admit the truth that the sarin in Syria was manufactured in Britain, the hypocrisy of intervening in Libya while condemning Russia for even thinking about sending the current humanitarian mission into East Ukraine (aka New Russia - defined by a vote which was upheld by the international law precedent set in Kosovo) - all of these have turned the US from a light upon the hilltop into a sleazy pack of psychotic liars.
Let's get down to it - the entire US government is a cesspool of lies and sociopaths. Don't even get started on the IRS serial felonies and the missing emails - this government is saturated with criminals who run free because the AG - Eric Holder - is looking forward to his big payday after the administration leaves office and he begins to collect the protection money he's owed for his TBTP (Too Big To Prosecute) policies articulated to Congress.
Deal the entirety of the problem. It's not just Obama - it's the entire system that is destroying America.

Bath House is only a symptom; the US is barely a few months from total collapse and Balkanization.
There is no longer ANY LEADERSHIP in the USG.
The Military has been purged of all Patriots. Only Sycophants, deviant homosexuals and Riff Raff remain "in command."
Defend your families and your neighborhoods.
Buckle Up!
Sad state of affairs, I believe Putin to be a cold blooded psycho killer and also the voice of reason and restraint on the world stage at the moment. The depths of depravity of our guys and gals are veering to the unfathomably. Shooting down airliners; funding takfiri cannibal baby rapers, fomenting civil wars.
Putin Paul 2016 (Ron if he will have us)
My math might leave a little to be desired, but last time I checked 1000 > 500 (or however many bodies in those suspected mass graves actually exist); and that ignores any civilian deaths prior to a couple weeks ago; even the UN admits it's under counting in eastern Ukraine.

All if there are devil worshippers in the mix here I will put my money on the rape death squads crucifying and beheadings children for YouTube videos. Oh and the rape and torture. If you want to point out when the Yesidjs partook in these actions I will hear you out. Actions speak loud with satanic matters. Because they don't worship Allah with the derka derkas does not default them to devil worship status unless you OP are a derka derka too.
Additionally worth noting this shadow army of terror is wholly supported by US allies at the least. So who are the devil worshippers really.
Go take your crocodile tears somewhere else.
Who is crying? My country has been killing Iraqis so long I am numb to it. I've broken bread with the same guys who were here ten years ago killing mostly these same people. They did not rape or behead though.
The entirety of OP accusation of devil worshipping is they worship other gods and lots of people say they are devil worshippers.
Shit commentary and probably from a shit eating derka here on an expired visa. So fuck you.
Didn't the Vietnam War begin with a bunch of "advisers" who were only going there for a short while?
Yeah, and if it wasn't for Jane Fonda and the malcontent liberal hippes we woulda kicked their Gook asses too.
As the guy said yesterday: G fucking DP!
You seem to be under the impression that there was an intention to "win" Vietnam.
Hey now Kissinger (detente queen) and averell Harriman (of brown brothers Harriman merchants of death international private banking king) spent all those days at the Paris peace talks trying to make peace. It's not their fault it went on for many more incredibly profitable years of stalemate.
Poor McCain and his Stockholm syndrome can't get over it to this day.
Aaah yes, drug smuggling in the Golden Triangle, using CIA and USAF assets...
The advisors were in Vietnam to reshuffle the political landscape. When they assassinated Diem, it was game on.
Eisenhower sent the advisors in around 1950. Diem went out in 1963. When they killed Kennedy three weeks later it was game on.
the first plane load of "advisors" was half way back to the US when JFK took a 30-06 shell to the brain... bad decision I guess
It's the greatest mystery of history to me that when a military intelligence industrial axis has huge benefit in expanding a war, and two heads of state standing in the way of that war are assassinated within three weeks of each other and then the war gets rolling, that it is not together obvious to anyone and everyone that the two heads of state were assassinated by the same people for the same reason. There is something so obvious about it.
Apparently not though.
Yes, and from the first advisor to the last boot on the ground, we were there over 30 years starting in 1944 with a team of advisors. Contrary to the commonly quoted 1961 "start of the US involvement in Vitenam", the first advisor to die was in 1945, 16 years earlier. In the 1950s we increased the infil of advisors substantially, and then really kicked it off in the 1960s as the total US soldier deaths climbed up above 58,000.
Then we brought them all home, treated them horribly, and continue to ignore the mental health and homelessness crisis that besets a large percentage of vietnam vets.
Using that as a base, we'll be there by the time my grandkids are ready to serve. 'murica! ;-(
If they use hollow point ammunition (thus non-military), is it non-combat-boots ammunition and ok to use?
Also I heard they will not wear boots, they will be wearing running shoes, so its ok
Arab carpet slippers with the curly toes, special ordered in sand brown.
"Daddy... what are "non-combat" troops???"
So the troops will be unarmed? Hell, send in the Peace Corps....
Maybe our advisor can meet-up with the Russian advisors and do lunch.
Oh that would be splendid. Perhaps they can advise one another. On humanitarian things, over tea. I suppose it would be rude not to invite amnesty international though.
"Now, if your reaction on hearing these news was “Who the heck are the Yezedis?” then you are in good company. This is a very obscure, fairly small, incredibly ancient cult, and few people have heard of them. I have, and so my reaction was “Oh no, they are killing the devil worshipers!”

Wait. What?
Let's face it, just about everybody is a devil worshipper to IS.
Then they would fit right in if we moved them to DC.
Watching the sheeple lap this crap up, while the Ukes are trying to
exterminate actual christians, is someones sick joke on us all.
Robin Williams may have had a point.
Ya know, if I wasn't already the world's 2nd most cynical person, I'd think you made all that up.
Here is some info on the angel that the Yezidis pay homage to for those that my be interested.

Same saiid of Mormons here. And Catholics. And Protestants.
Fuck you zerohedge, your strain of bullshit is starting to stink as much as everybody else's.
Yours stinks more.
Witty.
I am pretty sure Mormons were either created by, or supported by, British Intelligence.
Its a bizarre story, the more I look into it.
Dmirty Orlov is a fucking idiot.
So Obozo ordered air-strikes to protect a few thousand of these "Zorastrians" ? and the 1.5 million Iraqi Catholics have gotten shit on a stick since 2003...ok makes perfect sense !
truly amazing...
after all the lies and the failures young and foolish poor men and women allow themselves to be sent abroad to murder and be murdered on behalf of the MoneyChangers...
no knowledgE = no sympathy.
DEATH TO THE MONEYCHANGERS.
Just so I'm clear, we are talking about Iraq and not east St. Louis right?
What if a helicopter carries soldiers into Iraq and just hovers to allow soldiers to shoot? That isn’t technically “boots on the ground.” Problem solved.
Why not paper footies?
Hovercraft.
Humanitarian adviser marines.
i like that. Very Nice!
I advise you to meet my drone.
Maybe by the time the White House gets done considering, all those poor bastards will be decapitated, and there will be nothing left to consider.
Well, obviously they are just going to wear shoes. Freedumb shoes.
San Francisco Chronicle Columnist Andrew S. Ross said today that Chevron, which is operating in Iraqi Kurdistan, has three “production-sharing contracts” with the Kurdish government covering a combined 440,000 acres north of Irbil.
“We are very encouraged with the initial results in the Kurdistan region of Iraq,” Ross said the company revealed in an earnings call two weeks ago.
Ross summarized that “oil traders agree.”
Oliver Jakob, a Swiss oil analyst told Reuters: “In essence, we find US air strikes more bearish than bullish for oil (prices) as the act finally draws a line for IS (Islamic State) and reinforces both the stability in South Iraq and in Kurdistan.”
Amy Myers Jaffe, a global energy policy expert at UC David, says the potentially bigger worry for both Chevron and the Kurds would be if Iraq did stabilize and unite with Kurdistan under its umbrella. “It would be a problem for Kurds who saw the rest of Iraq as a failed state and have had freedom of movement for its oil.”
LOL at "UC David" slip of your goyim tongue i'm sure...
PS -does Cunnilingus Rice still "consult" for Chevron?
“It would be a problem for Kurds who saw the rest of Iraq as a failed state and have had freedom of movement for its oil.”
Translation: It would be a problem for US, because we already have agreements w/ the Kurds, and so, if they stay a part of Iraq, we will have to renegotiate, and get worse terms.
St. Louis children get blasted, terrorized and killed and the Yezidi muslim kids get ice cream cones brought to them by marines because they are located near the globalist's F'n oil fields.
Re: Yezidi muslims. Sounds like these aren't really muslim muslims but some sort of American Indian spirit dance muslims. (I've gotten all this information from another post on ZH, unless I got the names of the muslims mixed up. Hey, Obama, you sure you got the names of these muslims straight? Don't want to bomb the wrong devil worshippers).
Start the airlift to New Yazhidi in Guatemala, plenty of room there since all the Guatemalans have moved to the US.
Perhaps they come to pay the US back for a decade of genocide and rape in the '80s...
More "wagging the dog" psyops.
And to where will these newly rescued Yezidi be relocated?
A new C-Store in every neighborhood in America?
Where does it end?
When ordered to Marines will walk on water.
No boots on "ground".
Sympathy for the Devil, playing in the background as we save the precious Yazidi tribe... but that about the Christians in Iraq since 2003 ?
I'm for this, if the Marines involved are properly briefed and allowed to defend themselves. The Yezidis are an ancient and intriguing culture. No use letting them die at the top of a mesa under the armory of the ISIS savages. This is a good use of military capability.
The St. Louis street thugs are wild beasts by comparison, nearly useless/
O'bummer, why can't you send the same types to aid the people in E. Ukraine?
What's that? Ah, your Handlers won't let you? Got it. Golf on... back to your Golf War.
"I'm for this, if the Marines involved are properly briefed and allowed to defend themselves."
I must assume, Hongcha, you have not done time in the US military?
"If?" The Marines will be briefed by those whose political agenda is being served.
"When wars go from strategy driven to politically driven, they are lost."
My old infantry CO, and where he got it, I don't know.
If you watch video of the rescue missions already done you'll see the guy at the door spraying bullets with the 50 cal machine gun on the way in, he stops when they land, and then once they are off he starts up again (this part isn't video'd but you hear the sound and see some of the refuges cover their ears). It's non combat for the one minute you take to load the people up.
Sadly, I can't wait for the first American casualty. Then what?
If fired upon, do not, I repeat, do not return fire.
ROE:
"The enemy is often mistaken for a tribal shepherd or farmer. Do NOT fire unless one or more men in your platoon have been wounded/killed. Fire warning shots first. Shelter in place if possible and avoid returning enemy fire. Those of you who have received Layoff Notices in the field are to surrender your weapons to the CO. That is all."

Has ZH gone full retard?
Whomever is writing on foreign matters during the US day time seems completely disconnected from reality and seems to only care about making every action an anti-American rant irregardless of the facts.
So is it the policy of ZH that the US should let tens of thousands of innocent civilians fleeing certain death, just die at the hands of Islamic extremists? To be beheaded, raped and tortured?
I love the ZH economic posts, but this daytime writer of foreign policy makes me sick.
Perhaps its time to have two seperate sites; one for economic posts and one for anit-American rants.
Has it occurred to you that we are where we are because tried to go in and "fix" things before?
Would any of those people even BE there, needing rescue, if we had not interfered in the first place?
"So is it the policy of ZH that the US should let tens of thousands of innocent civilians fleeing certain death, just die at the hands of Islamic extremists? To be beheaded, raped and tortured"
So I guess it it was OK with you when the USA blew the FK out of a hundred thousand Iraqis during a few weeks of "Shock and Awe" in 2003? Carpet bombing illiterate goat herders living in tents from 30000 feet is, afterall, so much more American and humane than beheading... Doh.
Take your phony hypocritical "holier-than-thou" selective moral outrage and stick it where the sun don't shine pal.

When England was facing dark days during the beginning of WW2,it was understood that in order to boost morale propaganda alone would not suffice (post-Dunkirk).
The public needed a solid political deal that if it was fully participate in another war to save the elites ass (The City),then there would be housing and healthcare,and jobs for all,e.g.,"A community worth fighting for".
This is what is lacking in Iraq.A leadership or ideal worth fighting for.The lads chucking their rifles and surrendering are actually making a protest of sorts.Reminds me of the Invergordon mutiny,Royal Navy,when they tried to cut the pay by 25% in the late twenties.
Remind me again what all our blood and treasure has purchased?
The Israelis were unhappy with a powerful Arab neighbor who,like Nasser,would not shut up.
