The Latest US Invasion Of Iraq Begins: US Military Search And Rescue Teams Arrive In Northern Iraq
Despite numerous explanations that no boots-on-the-ground will be on-the-ground in Iraq in the war against Islamic State, it appears, as CNN reports, that the US military has moved Search-and-Rescue (S&R) assets to Northern Iraq as part of a "constant rebalancing" depending on the evolving airstrike-only mission.
Of course, as the 'unnamed source' was so quick to explain, this was in no way a response to threats from The UAE to pull out of the coalition unless S&R assets were placed in Iraq since, cynically speaking, the UAE demands are only the result of US demands that it demand it anyway.
However, as Bloomberg notes - on the heels of selling 170 M-1 Abrams tanks to Iraq indirectly 'stimulating' the US economy ("middle-class economics" don't forget) - US allies are now withholding military power in an effort to get Obama to do more in Syria (which once again cynically-speaking - gives the President further excuse to provide billions in fresh military contracts to General Dynamics & Northrop Grummond) all in the name of peace, prosperity and the American way of life.
U.S. allies in the fight against Islamic State extremists are withholding military capabilities as leverage on President Barack Obama to do more in Syria, according to Bloomberg.
At issue are calls from the U.A.E. for U.S. pilot-rescue teams to be positioned closer to the Syrian battleground, where they’d be primed for quicker action, and from Turkey to impose a protected safe zone in Syria. Their demands create problems for Obama, who officials have said is wary of drawing the U.S. more deeply into Syria’s turmoil.
Underlying that issue is disagreement over Obama’s decision to make fighting Islamic State the priority over efforts to remove the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
In congressional testimony on Tuesday, Marine Lieutenant General Vincent Stewart, director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, confirmed a trend that troubles regional allies Turkey and Arab states such as Saudi Arabia. As Bloomberg reports, he told the House Armed Services Committee, "we assess the conflict is trending in the Assad regime’s favor."
The state department completes the puppetry:
Jordan, “the country that was most impacted” by the killing, “intends to intensify its efforts,” Psaki said.
And this needs our assistance with more military might (spending) and support... and boots on the ground in Iraq... it's only fair.
* * *
Which leads down a whole other rabbit hole of conspiracy theory that just became fact
* * *
And so, as CNN reports, the U.S. military has moved some search and rescue assets into Northern Iraq, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.
The move was described as part of a constant rebalancing of search and rescue assets that are moved depending on the evolving airstrike mission. The source did not suggest it was a response to United Arab Emirates concerns about proximity of rescue assets and did not say when this latest rotation happened.
The reshuffling comes after news that UAE had suspended participation in coalition strikes out of concern that search and rescue assets were not placed close enough to ensure a timely effort to rescue, a claim disputed by U.S. military officials.
* * *
Of course, if we were the cynical historians of the desperation of the military-industrial complex, we could see this whole facade as nothing but smoke and mirrors for economic stimulatory excuses and deficit expansion in the name of saving the world and... the UAE demands are only the result of US demands that it demand it anyway.

Mission Accomplished.
Fuck you pal. Obama and Bush (even though I hate him) had every intention of doing the right thing. Obama said no boots on the ground, but then ISIS came out of nowhere. Now he's got to do what a leader needs to do, take care of business. Obama we are with you. God bless Obama.
LOL...god bless <insert politician here>
Damn you are a fucking ape.
Boots on the ground. Another broken Obama promise? Say it ain't so.
Fucking Vietnam all over again, but worse.
Whisper Rumor that Obamney is considering finishing the unfinished business in Vietnam, resuming the bombing of Laos & Cambodia, and annexing Ukraine as the 58th...oops, I mean 51st U.S. state, too.
Protocols of Elders of Zion....destroy all Nation States....Seventh inning stretch....
Did Colin Powell testify already before the UN about Eye-Rack WMD threats? And how about that there Mushroom cloud Condie Rice threatened merikans with?
What's the reason this time? They gonna look for those WMD again?
Search for and rescue Iraqi oil.
Hitlary or JebShrub or whomever is the next TOTUS will be told to initiate war upon Iran, assuming AIPAC doesn't hand the order to Obama before 2016.
"March onward, goyim soldier."
Third times a charm......just sayin....
Doomed.
For all we know in this sudden change, Obama may have begun supporting Hezbollah too.
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion = The Real Deal....
(So real in fact, at one point you would be shot if they found this book on you!)
http://ddickerson.igc.org/The_Protocols_of_the_Learned_Elders_of_Zion.pdf
Should read "boots in the face". "boots on the ground" was a typo.
(I wonder why our Israeli friends are not doing this job for us. They are experts in cleaning vast areas of land from arabs.)
We need to rescue some folks.
May God bless the entire CONgress and Senate too
I could get behind that....if we didn't have to include Pelosi or Boehner.
Hey, that's below the belt I DO NOT look like Obama I look more like Michele O.
Damn....and here I thought that I was a ZH agitator! When they are up arrowing me, it's quite apparent that you hit a nerve!
It's probably your other account.
Asshole.
Agreed. ISIS totally came out of nowhere. Who has the resources to produce such an entity on short notice? And BTW, did you see some of the vehicles that ISIS are using? How did they get there from "nowhere"?
Bush is from Texas. Just sayin'.
And fuck you too, douchebag!
LOL, I can't keep this up. THe trolling is too much. I agree with you guys, but it's fun to stir the pot. Fuck Obama
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMjXbuj7BPI
We have to take care of business, bomb them into the stone age.
Do you realize how much paperwork would be involved in that?
really Bush is a carpet bagger who pretended to be from Texas, real Texans dislike him, but they really hate Obama...
Bush wasn't interested in anything he couldn't snort up his nose until his dad told him he could be president. At least he sobered up for that. Sort of.
Bush is from Connecticut with a bad fake accent, but point taken.
Passable attempt at sarcasm. But still a down-arrow. Try harder. Read some of MDB's old posts.
Sarcasm....no...I'm about to go there myself to support our leader Obama, but I'm afraid of guns.
Go back to stroking your ego talking about guns, god and texas. (Notice I didnt capitilize the last two)
This schtick is a waste of everbody's time. It's about as original as a CNN newscast.
You of all people should really apprecaite how I've turned the corner. Bunghole I've joined you!
overplayed. go home.
Never give a chimp a loaded AK-47.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhxqIITtTtU
What's up Bungholed, did you meat up with everything is "Bigger in Texas"?
Yeah, but it's a lifetime commitment, if you want to do it right. It's why MDBs stuff works so well. Believe me, I didn't get him at first. Many people still don't. But those that do, dig it greatly. Flip in and out of it too much and people just think you're off your meds.
<edit> FUCK... you just completely changed your post as I was typing my reply. Maybe you are just off your meds.
I got off my meds along long time ago and now I see that Obama is the way and truth and the light
Have a good life. I'm done with you.
Can't we all just get along?
Kindly fuck off.
I'M SO ANGRY AT YOU, YOU TROLL! DO YOU HEAR ME?!1!11 I AM VERY, VERY ANGRY!!! RAAAAARRRR!!!
Happy? Please go away now.
Never in the field of human commenting was so much stupidity downvoted so quickly by so many to so few fuckwit trolls.
arrogant fcken tool
At 5 weeks of posting on this site, you have outworn your welcome. Not for your ideas, but for lack of them. As the Brits would say - bugger off.
i thought one milliondollarbonus was MORE than enough. and now we have another. eeesh.
i cannot wait until both you get into it with one another.
At first, I thought they were both the same, but MDB never did the mass post thing in response to every other post in the thread.
This seems to be a sign that the Pentagon Obama faction is making progress against the Bush ISIS Israel CIA faction. We are watching a proxy civil war in America unfold in the middle east. The new normal?
"God bless Obama"
Which one?
nope-1004
Mission Accomplished.
Exactly!
Mercenaries: Employed for life...., if you make it.
To the US military - stop obeying illegal orders!
When they tell you to deploy in the middle east, say no! No more illegal, unconstitutional wars!
What are you afraid of, losing your pension? Are you fucking kidding me? They're not going to pay it anyway!
Though more tuned in on average than many, the U.S. military folks went to the same kinda 'schools' as most Americans.
So, like just about everyone else, they have no idea what the f&ck the U.S. Constitution is.
Don't blame the schools, blame the parents...or lack of.
My son has been homeschooled, thinks taxes and welfare suck, and understands that the government and bankers create all problems and then create fixes to fix the problems that they created in the first place.
Indoctrination is the parents' job...and that's why the welfare state exists...to remove that influence.
BT found a way to get more greens than reds. Congrats, scro!
Anyone else notice that the US is feeding combat troops all kinds of drugs these days - and you're in deep shit if you refuse them.
The Germans used to give their troops a version of meth - I expect we're seeing that and who knows what else....
Lots of side effects to drugs that keep you 'alert' and 'awake' - along with suppression of conscience and likely contributors to PTSD as well....
What drugs are they being given, exactly?
Not just the Germans, CS - read "Currahee!" by Donald R. Burgett; American troops were issued plenty of benzedrine to "enhance performance." Hell, even "James Bond" was a user. In Napolean's time, it was alcohol, just as for millenia before that. Who knows what the troops get now, good bet it's not X though. See "Jacob's Ladder." A film already 25 years old.
edit: Bonus - Project 112 and Project SHAD; see also BZ, or 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate
um. you just get courtmartialed and unceremoniously fucked if you do this.
if you are suggesting a collective boycot of orders by u.s. soldiers, good luck planning that out. it's basically called a coup if its succesful and if not, you got some SEROIUSLY fucked soldiers, the ones who lead and organize such a collective order will probably be hung by the neck and executed.
you don't attempt to fuck with the organized chain of command from WITHIN the military and expect military justice not to be applied.
And that is the nub. Defending was is right is not a cost-free exercise. That is the difference between Americans and say the Novorossians. They are prepared to pay a high cost in the short term to defned what is right.

Tesla - that seems like the case in the abstract, but you should check out how Vietnam ended. Soldiers were refusing to carry out orders - they were replaced and the replacements would refuse. Eventually, the leadership cannot continue the war. Hell, even in Iraq 2 friends on patrol would just drive off and park their vehicles and let the locals know that they were not seeking trouble - instead of following orders to commit unjustifiable or collateral murder.
They tossed some in prison in Vietnam, but they ended up winning.
I say this in all seriousness - you can refuse orders and maintain your dignity and reorganize our country. Mrs. Upgrayedd sat in in the brig for refusing illegal orders - it has negatively impacted our lives, but eventually with organization the many can limit the few.
Look on the bright side. At least they are not fighting for the United States of America and are only a bunch of mercenaries fighting for the pedophile banksters of the NWO.
more like "Search & Destory" all those toys we left behind the last time.
One might say that though this act we're resolving a munitions supply bubble in Iraq, caused by excessive investments in ISIS on behalf of US and certain Arab nations. We're fighting an oversupply-driven price deflation by reducing their inventory in order to ensure continuous and stable demand for US-made machinery. Call it "Operation Al[QE]da".
Search (for valuables) and destroy (the previous owners).

In re: Abe...convenient as hell, huh?
"the UAE demands are only the result of US demands that it demand it anyway."
That's soo Tyler. I can actually feel the cynaism and sarcasm.
'Search & Rescue'...oh, isn't that nice...our boys are there to rescue kittens from trees and puppies from drains and help old ladies cross the street...and sit around camp fires and plan lemonade stands.
Maybe they should be named more accurately to what they actually do:
The Department of Attack's 'Fuck their shit up' teams.
usaf combat control.... meaning the US is going to get substantially more involved in order to topple Assad, and destroy Syrian infrastructure.
Oh, and that means Syrian air defenses.
'They' must be pretty confident Russia won't do a thing....
I'll hazard a guess and say they are going to pull back {for a while} in Ukraine and focus on Syria and Lebanon before the final push on Iran, which given America's war fatigue, likely means a nice new {actual} false flag to overcome that fatigue...
Sigh.
This could be the staging step one, then some BS event in the area (such as some of the US troops being killed), and then the real mobilization starts. Then just to be safe half of Syria has to occupied and then for humanitarian needs Assad and the rest of Syria finished.
For those who keep claiming Putin will never let Syria fall. (Despite all the bombing by those aligned with the US that has taken out some of Syria's defenses.) Can you put to rest once US boots are in Syria? And can you then admit Putin will never directly confront those forces when they start on Iran?
Putin might have something to say about that...

"Whatever We Decide Is A Disaster For Us" France Admits Putin Is Winning, Europe "Blinked"
You are making my point for me. Many of those links are from 2012 and 2013. And what has happened to Syria since 2012? Israel, UAE, Jordanian planes fly into Syria and bomb the Syrian forces. On at least one occassion a missile was fired from off the Syrian coast to hit key supplies for the Syrian army. Then from the border of Syria missiles or artillery are used to destroy Syrian army posts (to protect ISIS).
So Russia puts all those ships into the Mediterranean, the US/Israel slows down briefly and then go ahead and make attacks and support the insurgents.
You must be aware Israel has flown planes and attacked the Syrian assets just outside of the Syrian capital.
Those Russian ships are a nice place to park them and let the crews enjoy the weather. Otherwise they have not had any effect.
Guess you have to admit that IF US boots enter Syria that Putin is just hot air.
Still...always makes it interesting when a war of words becomes a "a wiped out both our economies" to "now we get to go eyeball to eyeball."
Brings out my inner Beethoven actually.
"First i loved Napoleon. Then I turned on him with a musical vengeance. Drove me mad...but what a ride!"
Russia still sending arms and ships to Syria (always constant patrol near the abse in Tartus) but it no longer gets news as its oldnews... New News is Ukraine.
And the destruction of Syria continues unabated. You can find video and pictures of Syrian cities. Bombed out, largely deserted, looking a lot like Iraq. And this is becoming what half of Syria's cities look like.
I do not like this fact, but is the fact.
And Russia selling arms is nothing new. They sell (sometimes donate) limited arms and watch as the country is destroyed. Remember, Putin cancelled an agreement to sell Syria their more modern anti aircraft missiles. Putin did not want Syria shooting at the US/Israel with them.
ah huh I certainly would have to admit that...and I agreed (upvoted) your intial appraisal, but quite frankly Stumpy we can only Monday night quarterback from the sidelines. I don't expect that Putin will move tit for tat with the west, but then you make a compelling case in that Syria is becoming consigned to the ash heap of history...
Oh by the way on the Eastern Front here are some of the latest Putin moves:

Actually I think the LGTG Army or whatever they call their morphadite asses now will be shocked when they meet real soldiers who read and write cryllic.

Didn't Jordan just say they were going to pull out of the coalition if USA didn't put some search and rescue so no more of their pilots got barbequed, which came first if i was suspicious lets say they wanted the boots then had to come up with an excuse..

Blow them up with sunshine .... great metaphor .... for nuking them !
The SAR is in direct proportion to Jordanian Air Power.
They want their pilots back.
If you are shot down, these guys will bust ass to find and rescue you.
Jordan is massing for a hard air campaign. They will lose some aircraft.
They "Raqqa" .... we "Breaka" !
I see S & R now, so same as R2P (Right to Protect) in Libya which slaughtered thousands and destroyed the Country.

Merca can't even lose a war ONCE anymore. It just goes on and on....losing in an orwellian loop.
War of attrition .... ya wear ém down .... Israel is the master .... the world wide tantrums since the Gaza thing .... are a measure of their utter success .... Gazians seem subdued !
Ok. I was wondering why they were ramping up the narrative to hysterical levels about Isil being baaad, Hollywood-style worser and worser than you can ever imagine, if only you knew, and you thought al qaïda were monsters, but you hadn't seen nofink yet. These are walking nightmares, sure they are BIG MEAN HUGE BAAAD THREATS to everyfink that's holy."
"Boots on the ground", "need to do sumfink", alright. Got it.
"cynically speaking, the UAE demands are only the result of US demands that it demand it anyway."
Exactly.
Pedophile bankers .... pedophile prophet .... take your pick ! http://i.4cdn.org/b/1422984895020.webm
Wait, didn't Obama just a few months ago promise the American people their would be no "boots on the ground" in Iraq?
He wouldn't lie to us would he?
Obama is a constant reminder of why you should never, ever believe anything a politician says.
They are nothing but lying, traitorous sacks of S&^T.
Northrop Grummond?

we are mushrooms kept in the dark and fed shit...one fact I know first hand: a friend who is a SF major has been ordered back to afganistan for the 4th time..it never ends- america is at war D and R keep us at it..Ron Paul was one of the few who pointed this out and said he would end it. so sick of these endless wars..so sick of our MSM who lie for these elite murders. War is a Racket.
The core reason why Iraq was wrecked is because Saddam had the temerity to hit Tel-Aviv with some ineffective ballistic missiles in 1990. It's why Saddam ended up in a noose. If he had not done that he would probably still be in power. But why did Saddam do that? Because Israel blew up his Osirak reactor in June 1981. There was simply no other significant reason for Saddam to attack Israel. In short, we have ISIS today because of all that which has stemmed from that 1981 bombing of a reactor.
http://ivarfjeld.com/2010/01/06/iraq-wants-israel-to-pay-for-destroyed-n...
Now consider all the thousands of places that been bombed since then and the desire for revenge.
There's no way this is ending while the ME is being bombed and supported with western arms, including arms for Israel.
If I were a US state I would pull out of the Union and the military and start my own country and try promoting actual peace.
Seeing the will of the people is no longer important, the rest of the US will blow the rogue state to smithereens before it would allow anyone to exercise true freedom.
So, Jordan has an air force with no SAR capability?
Well, we can help as long as there are no American ambassadors in the SAR area.
Can't have that.
Jordan is another joke like Turkey. Both countries are used by us for training, arming etc of these 'Arab terrorists'... or Gladio Team B. See the pattern, know the pattern and invest your 'time' wisely.
This is all PR manipulation as Bernays said long before the Nazi's copied it... but then it's the same as Niccolo Macciavelli wrote of, and he only wrote about the obvious lessons of history and the need to control the herd... same as all the 'dark side' outfits mention... nothing new... just 'new' to the civilization after the previous one collapses... for one reason or another.
Hate to break it to everyone, but US "Advisors" have been in full combat on the ground against ISIS for months. Don't let that white house clown fool you

We fight Al-Q in Afghan, we support them in Libya. We fight IS in Iraq, we support them in Syria. Freedumb.
I would disagree, and rephrase your statement to this: "We pretend to fight Al-CIAda in Afganistan, we covertly support them in Libya. We pretend to fight IS in Iraq, we covertly support them in Syria."
This is Gladio Team B operations. Simple. Same prinicipal of false flag ops as Team A in Europe... look who we are using in Ukraine. Erdo the Idiot thinks that he can get rid of the Team B competition in Turkey by limiting Gulen, who happens to live and work here in the States as he gets free money to spread jihadi schools across the 'Turkish' areas, yet Erdo the Idiot openly supports Team B training, staging, arming etc of jihadi camps in the south just across the border from our regime change op in Syria. Erdo thinks he can be the new Ottoman sultan or 'king of kings'. We smile and play along knowing that his 'Diem' moment will arrive shortly.
Go to Youtube and check out SIbel Edmonds Gladio series with Corbett, it's a nice place to start, unless you prefer the soft fiction version of her 'The Lone Gladio' book, which covers the same data in a more general public friendly manner.
The data doesn't lie, only its promoters do... be they govt scientists, religionists, mainsteam PR, intel, military, police or as most on this site know well, govt economists. You will see the same pattern of denial, lie and 'revision' in every data set through the ages. The game remains the same until it ends... which looks to be very soon... something else that gets 'revised' for control purposes, but that is a bigger story.
Sound of Blackwater boots; the von Frundsberg of the Syrac war.
They say Raqa is full of "foreign" mercenaries for Jihad.
When Jihad sounds like Crusade, and the foreign mercenary like the Knights Templar; only this time "god wills it" has morphed into "allah o akbar" sung by the sunni invader...same logic and interchangeable mantra for ideological cleansing!
But in those days the REAL reason was Byzantine wealth that excited the Franks for silk, spice and precious stones from Cathay and India; today the REAL reason is OIL.
God and Allah, the tinsel curtain for those hooked on "opium", we move back to the olde days, as we are as dumb as those dumb obscurantists !
