Obama Authorizes Plan To Double Number Of Troops In Iraq
If you like your boots-on-the-ground, you can keep them... and have some more. Whether a strawman or not, Reuters reports that according to US officials, the U.S. military has drawn up plans to significantly increase the number of American forces in Iraq, which now total around 1,400, as Washington seeks to bolster Iraqi forces battling the Islamic State.

The U.S. military has drawn up plans to significantly increase the number of American forces in Iraq, which now total around 1,400, as Washington seeks to bolster Iraqi forces battling the Islamic State, U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, declined to offer details. The United States aims to help advise and train Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling Islamic State fighters who swept into much of northern Iraq.

The Obama administration is prepared to almost double the American military presence in Iraq to 3,000, sources told NBC News on Friday.
The current figure is about 1,600. The sources said that an increase to 3,000 was among several options under consideration. There is no plan to include ground combat forces in the additional deployments, they said.
The additional troops are needed to expand the military’s role in training and helping Iraqi forces, including the highly volatile part of Anbar Province under the control of ISIS, the sources said.
The White House and Pentagon were expected to announce further details later Friday.

So The US must be 'winning' against ISIS if they need more humanitarian military advisor non-boots-on-the-ground troops...?

Nobel Negro: "I had to send some folks back to that Iraq place"
This motherfucker is starting some crazy shit for these next 2 years
It's like Vietnam.
It's only a poe-lice action.
Good luck with that.
Halliburton Exec's must need new planes again, or maybe yachts.
Gold Bitchez....I pick up pennies
Read my lips: No new taxes.
They're all liars. Except, in this case, he's not lying. He did bring Americans home from that senseless Iraqi war, but wasn't ever 'axed' if he'd immediately send them back.
POS president.
Obama was supposed to look good coming in after Bush started two wars. Now Obama can start a bunch of bad stuff to help the next President look good when he steps in.
from thread
"This motherfucker is starting some crazy shit for these next 2 years"
"That escalated quickly."
"No boots on the ground" to "Double the number of troops in Iraq"; quagmire in 3...2...1...
Just the tip...now a little bit more,,
Perhaps you have been pulling a Rip Van Winkle the past few decades; the cops have been militarized for v. long time now.
I thought Korea was a police action not vietnam
Korea was a UN operation, meaning us and...
did I mention us?
Hey now wait just a minute, the Chinese were there helping out, and i mean a lot. Yep do not forget the Chinese. And i believe a few South Koreans were involved. The history channel learned me that.
They are using a new form of advanced sneaker. So these are not "boots" on the ground. No worries.
We're gonna hut hut hut our asses right into oblivion.
My country wrong or wrong.
Øsurper now has it made. he will usher a shiite load of US troops into WTF he pleases and blame it all on the (R) Congress.
No, I didn't want to, but Congress made me send troops (everywhere).
If you like your soldiers in Iraq.....you can keep your soldiers in Iraq.
So if the troops won't be playing a combat role, they won't be taking along any combat weapons?

Has the Noble Prize Winner seen a war that he did not like? He almost started a war with Syria with lies about sarin.
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has published an article demonstrating that the US government and President Barack Obama knowingly lied when they claimed that the Syrian government had carried out a sarin gas attack on insurgent-held areas last August.
Hersh’s detailed account, based on information provided by current and former US intelligence and military officials, was published Sunday in theLondon Review of Books. The article, entitled “Whose sarin?,” exposes as a calculated fraud the propaganda churned out day after day by the administration and uncritically repeated by the media for a period of several weeks to provide a pretext for a military attack on the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"Has the Noble Prize Winner seen a war that he did not like? He almost started a war with Syria with lies about sarin."
Actually, they are at war against Syria, and they started a coldwar with Russia.
Greater Israel will get their Lebensraum, gas pipeline to Europe, and water rights no matter how many Goy have to be sacrificed.
An American, not US subject.
I still cannot get over that. Obama was foaming from the mouth trying to conjure support to start shit with Assad. Most people forget about that. People still buy the Peace Prize kayfabe.
The Peace Prize was a ploy to sedate and distract the left/liberal sheeple from CIA-Obama's continuance and expansion of Bush Jr.'s neo-con and Greater Israel serving aggression.

Imagine being a grunt and AWAKE. I piss and shit myself every chance I get to. Forger wearing a dress, that's acceptable.
"Last week he was sent down to Da Nang to see the Navy head shrinker, and the crazy fucker starts jerking off in the waiting room. Instant Section Eight. He was just waiting for his papers to clear division.!"
$5.6 billion? That's like 2.5 days of printing? You're going to have to do better than that Barry. We need moar bigger deficits for moar QE.
The puppet who would end all conflicts and bring the troops home upon coronation, and people STILL believe that bilge!
Which REALLY means, something like 30-60K troops.
Oh crap! Lost election big time! Need distraction quick! Umm... Let's see.. Let's have Biden come out and say we'll compromise, black woman to replace Holder.., and... war, yeah, that's it, war always works!
'Troops won't be in combat role'....AH so they're 'peacekeepers' then....gee where have we heard that before and how did it all work out?
The Republicans (with the help of those guys with the skullcaps on their heads) made me do it!...
Why? Gas is $2.55 in Hilton Head,SC. Does Goldman need to spike crude oil prices since you got bitch slapped in election?
More $$$ for the MIC and CIA's war on Syria covered up by sending, illegally, more troops to Iraq.

McCain-Feingold's devastating legacy - The Washington Post

Apr 11, 2014 ... McCain-Feingold aimed to shore up confidence in the political system and reduce the role of big money in elections. It has done neither.
Why Not Iraq?
We Are in Korea, what? 60+ years?
MIC is like a tapeworm; Thrives until the host dies.
Indeed. Iraq thought it could stop a long-term US occupation force. That didn't last long. The wedge between Syria and Iran is in place once again.
We are in Japan 69 years...and counting. The expulsion of US troops from The Philippines didn't last long either.
English Empire Died, but their bankers have War influence on Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand... Clearly USA is on Crash Course toward Bankruptcy. We don't even pass budgets any more. We don't write our own Legislation. We don't declare war.
There is no semblance of Governance, Stewardship of our Petro Dollar, and no peoples will & no representation in congress.
From thread;
"MIC is like a tapeworm; Thrives until the host dies."
nine hundred military bases in over one hundred thirty countries.
all of 'em either careers or volunteers.
who is paying for that amrka?
BOMB OBAMA NOW
Need to send some folks to watch them ISIS folks.
Folks, Folks, Folks
I do hope you and your family are picking up a gun Sotero?
No?
Well fuck off then. I would rather see you and yours killed as those poor cunts in a forgien land that have done fuck all you puppet cunt. Why arnt your arses as big as your mouths then Barry? Is that because you are a puppet cunt?
Oh, it is, what a fucking suprise. Tell your bosses, and you think on this as well son, as well as you filthy cunts in the NSA, if YOUR ARSE is not on the line, neither is ours.
Wanking fucking Cunts.
Now fuck off and talk sense boy.
;-)
Pentagon winning
Bank lobby losing
Those troops have got nothing to do with Isis and everything to do with Iran.
Next: Financial wipeout, so Pentagon and Saudis are satisfied.
But Pentagon is not going to resolve any of the real problems.
Pentagon doesn't deal with real culture or power base corruption.
- Decapitalization, Brain Drain, Outsourcing, Off-Shoring
- No CAPEX
- Executive Compensation Growth = Corporate Looting
- Government Capture, Regulation Capture, Swinging Doors to Industry
- Robotics, Automation taking Jobs
- Huge Black Market Labor Force
- Huge Shadow Banking Sector
- Most Expensive Health Care & very Expensive College inflation
- Demand for US Property, Securities, and Resources will push prices even higher
- Inflation in Bribing US Politicians will drive inflation in other sectors as well
- Money going to the few
- Stagnant Capital
- Monetary Leakage
- Economic Leakage
- Labor Demand is Chronic Problem
- Most Industries that paid well are in decline
- There aren't that many jobs in Drilling & Mining
- Smartest People go into Finance which doesn't produce anything
- US Engineering is lower and flat, specializing in Weapons mostly
- Corporations are getting larger, giving them not only power over pricing & Distribution, but also over government, legislation, and industry employment
Solutions do not exist, only tradeoffs exist.
Pentagon will make sure energy and commodities go get home and are controlled.
Strong dollar needed so the world trusts Pentagon. Which means bank lobby must be decimated and it will be decimated soon
That would be a start. Thanks for the reply.
I'm sorry but WTF is going on here? What is our mission in Iraq? I know to degrade and destroy ISIS. We were there with 100k troops for 10 years and we could do it, and now he wants just a few more troops for just a little more time. NO STOP DONT I REFUSE THIS CANT BE HAPPENING!
When the stopped Auditing, Standard Accounting, Standardized Financial Instruments, and accurate financial ratings... They also stopped Cost Benefit Analysis and stopped Budget Process and Budget Process Review.
In the words of Ten Nuggent, "It's a Free For All!"
- No resemblance to Order at all
- Both Parties are War Monger Parties
- Third Parties are suppressed
- There is no SOTU Speech nor Presidential Debates
- There is no Democracy, we have a Military Republic
- There is no means to National Referendums
- Corporate Money influences doctors, judges, congress, and starts wars
- There is no justification in the last 100 years to enter a war over 600 miles from CONUS
- Still we do get food & trade from overseas and through vulnerable sea routes
Iraq or Afghanistan or Ukraine, or Syria or Libya or Nigeria or Sierra Leone.... I see another Nobel on the way.
I never did figure this out.

You know they are lying always. He can said 1500 and then send 15000....
COde Pink?
Cindy Sheehan?
Oh yeah, leftists just hate it when anyone else uses the military.
The narrow ISIS logistical supply corridors from Turkey to ISIS forces in Syria and Iraq are maintained open at all costs by USAIPAC, Saudis, Qatar, Israel,Turkey....they has never closed, regardless of how simple and straightforward a military
objective it presents to pinch them off.
Go figure.....

For how long will the Americans tolerate constant lies being fed to them by their own President? I mean just a few weeks ago I clearly recall the words "no boots on the ground" and now it is double number of boots?!?!?! This is seriously fucked up.......
