Obama Sending More Troops To Iraq: What's Wrong With These 3 "Boots On The Ground" Headlines

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On June 13th, CNN reports President Obama stated:

No troops to Iraq, but other options are being considered.

 

That was President Barack Obama's message Friday in response to the lightning advance by Sunni militant fighters in Iraq that could threaten the government of Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

 

In a statement delivered from the White House South Lawn, Obama said the United States "will not be sending U.S. troops back into combat in Iraq," but that he would be reviewing a range of other options in coming days.

 

As AP reported on July 25th

The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution Friday that would bar President Barack Obama from sending forces to Iraq in a "sustained combat role" without congressional approval, a bill with greater symbolic than legal effect.

And today, as AP reports

WASHINGTON (AP) — US officials: Military weighs plan to send a small number of additional troops to Iraq.

*  *  *

So BOOTS WILL BE ON THE GROUND - just as President Obama had told the American people they would not be...

Of course we assume these are humanitarian assassination advising troops...

*  *  *

In addition to the fact that President Obama has basically declared war on ISIS... this just happened...

  • *SEPARATISTS SHOOT DOWN UKRAINE SU-25 FIGHTER PLANE: REUTERS
  • *ISRAEL WILL HIT HAMAS INFRASTRUCTURE, COMMANDERS: NETANYAHU

So - all war, all the time...

You need to lump Ferguson in with the other three now that the National Guard has been called in which literally means defacto declaration of war against the citizens of Ferguson.

Ferguson has enough people to form its own township. All they need to do is file for their own township. More communities should file for township. Every community over 10k should have their own police, mayor... etc.
Really its a non issue unless township is denied, then you can have riots and war.
First you file. When peace fails then you can fight
Giving peace a chance is not weakness, its civil.

A close friend of mine works as a consultant in Southern Iraq as a consultant for a major energy producer. We often keep in touch when he is over there via twitter. When this latest round of bombing began all social media in the country was blocked. (twitter, Facebook etc...)He recently was removed due to the situation. He was shocked to see that the media back home has portrayed this bombing campaign as fairly limited in scope, shown as a couple precision strikes against indivdual ISIS trucks, mortar pits... you get the picture. He told me that it was non-stop, all day every day bombs going off on the outskirts of baghdad in order to create a wall to prevent ISIS from advacing further south where the all important oil is. "Thousands of bombs at least"  were his words. Lets not kid ourselves, the West will do everything in its power in order to keep the oil flowing including sending ground troops.

Well that's another argument in favor of the "ISIS has gone rouge" school of thought.

Of course hitting toyota land cruisers with billions of dollars of high tech weapons is very GDP and MIC friendly... anyone see actual people (preferably ISIS) around these pick-ups when they get hit yet?

Staged Provocations Ahead of Possible US-Syrian War

20 August

With the alleged brutal murder of American journalist James Wright Foley, a wave of anger and aggression across Western audiences has been generated. Upon that wave rides two objectives. One is to create plausible deniability for the West which created the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq (ISIS), the other is to create a further pretext to justify a resurgence of direct US military intervention across the region...

 

Damascus warns US against strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria

20 August

Official Damascus on Wednesday warned the United States against delivering strikes at the Islamic State (IS) targets in Syria.

“Any unilateral action beyond UN Security Council Resolution 2170 will be considered an act of aggression against an independent state,” Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Miqdad said on Wednesday...

What a lame attempt to try appear as though congress has a backbone. They have allowed the executive branch to wield this power for decades. The power to declare war is supposed to rest with congress, not the president. So, they are saying only they can approve boots on the ground, as if that has to happen for there to be what any rational person would consider 'war'. So, by their logic, airstrikes against various countries don't constitute waging war? How is dropping bombs on people in 6 or 7 countries not war? I'm pretty sure the people on the receiving end would say it counts. Until they say "no military force whatsoever can be used without congressional approval" this is completely meaningless.

I'm fairly certain most Americans would consider it an act of war if another country were to drop bombs on people within our borders. Likewise, if China or Russia funded the overthrow of our government — no matter how corrupt and incompetent it may be — most Americans would have a problem with that.

But when Uncle Sam does these things to other countries, most Americans are apparently comfortable with the absurd notion that we're exempt from the rules that typically govern interaction between nations, and that such actions no longer constitute acts of war but are instead acts of charity with a dash of unfortunate violence mixed in.

The Big Lie is that they hate us for our freedoms instead of for blowing up their children.

"What is the unit real resources are measured in?  It's all that matters."

It's measured in average global wage of Human Labor.  That's a disparity that the West has enjoyed for too long which has led to the present entitled bitch attitude.  Mill that fact around in your mind for a while.

We might not like the consequences of measuring finite resources in infinite (labor, fiat) terms.

FWIW, floating currencies and freegold seems to be the most reasonable solution to resource allocation. (Assuming educated market participants...)

That's pretty much what I'm saying. If another country dropped a couple bombs on us from a drone, but promised they would try to limit collateral damage, since it wasn't war, it was merely 'kenetic action' what would Obama, congress, or the average America citizen call that? Would we accept the foreign attackers explanation that it was just a 'kenetic action against extremists' or would we say they were declaring and waging war against us?

Congress: "Don't do anything without us" even though we've abdicated our role as the "co-equal" branch of government for many years and ceded it to the Executive since WWII on matters of starting and maintaining wars... But appearances of our oaths to our offices are superficial and well (nod, nod, wink... wink...) appearances are important even if you have total and complete authority with sending our people to war!

Might as well put the "banana flag" (or is it 50 starz of David?) you had in your earlier post atop this article!...  Better make them "starz of David" because if those starz were bananas they would be the largest collective bunch of the worst smelling rotten fruit in all of God's creation.

Doesn't matter. Old or new, they all exhibit the tell-tale searing white flash of light.  A fission weapon requires a minimum amount of material to achieve criticality.  So the smallest possible nuke is about .01KT or 10 tons TNT equivilent. There are conventional weapons bigger than that.  The one in the vid sure as shit weren't no 10 tons of boom.  A fusion weapon requires a fission weapon to set it off.

People are upset about the intel agencies escaping political control, spying on the politicians who fund them, executing their own policies around the world with nary a word to Congress and ambiguous directon from the White House.

People find it hard to believe that the IRS could develop and promote political persecution schemes against "Taxed Enough Already  Party (TEA PARTY) conservatives', without directon from the White House.

And where once upon a time it required an act of the Supreme Court to overturn a duly Legislature-passed-and-Governor-Signed law, now every two-bit agency of the federal government proposes they have authority on their own to do so - such as the FCC proposal to overturn state laws restricting cities from entering into the ISP business.

The Federal Government is, top to bottom, out of control of the President and Congress.   It is the ultimate self-licking icecream cone.

Why would you expect DoD to miss out on the party?
