Ready for Boots on the Ground in Iraq?

[Geaux4it]

The pinch is coming for the dipstick Obama. Now that he is committed to bombing tumbleweeds and desert oasis, guess what?

What, no empty pharmacies to send T-Hawks into?


Its not working

So, the decision will have to be made at some point.

Cut and run like he did last time? Leave it to turn into a crap hole like it is today? Just another Obama Syria screw-up?

Or will he put boots on the ground to do the job?

I say he'll leave them to die and go golf

John McCain Criticizes Iraq Air Strikes As 'Ineffective'

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The United States conducted a new round of air strikes on Sunday against Islamic State militants in Iraq while congressional Republicans slammed President Barack Obama's intervention as ineffective and called for more aggressive military steps.

Republican Representative Peter King of New York criticized Obama for insisting he will not send U.S. ground troops to combat Islamic State forces in Iraq, adding that the United States has been too timid in the crisis so far.

"We should take nothing off the table. We (should) start off with massive air attacks," King, a member of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, told NBC'S "Meet the Press" program.

"I think doing them from aircraft carriers is limiting them. We should use bases in the area so we can have much more sustained air attacks. We should be aggressively arming the Kurds," King added.

Mass graves - transitory. Military coups - noise. ISIS direct calls for American blood - no problem. Siding with another unelected leader without being sure - new normal foreign policy. Arming kurd fighters - sure why not. Saving a few 100 Yazidi in the name of humanitarianism (oh and the oil sshh) - priceless. We hope President Obama has had a restful morning on his vacation at Martha's Vineyard as he speaks on the latest political developments in Iraq (which last week he explained were crucial if the army was ever to fight for the 'nation' ever again). Just a reminder, the call is 'audio only' - listen hard for the calls of 'fore' in the background.

It is flat out wrong to put an American Fiag in the lead in the battle against the IS invasion of Iraq.

Doing more than what we are doing right now could embolden Maliki now to use the military to stay in power.

Think stupid people, think if you can. If Americans military might comes all out against IS at this point in time, Maliki has now been shoved aside. A new PM has been chosen. Iran and the US both are pressuring for Maliki to concede a constitutional peaceful Baghdad transfer of power.

Think stupids, think if you can. A massive US military bombing and Speial Forces assault would likely destroy IS terrorists in short order. But what does that do for Maliki.
It may embolden him to use his Shiite stacked army to become the full fledged dictator of Iraq and believe it or not that will be bad news.


Maybe the idiots McCain and King want that. Who knows. Make it worse and keep piling on Obama.

McCain so wants revenge for losing to Obama the man would stop at nothing including derail US military and diplomatic policy in Iraq.

McCain needs to be interviewed aggressively and have his armchair put out to pasture.

You lost John. Obama is a better President than you ever could be.

Starting the whole war in Iraq was dumb you know.

We should be concerned about Iraq but not so much that we are once again trying to change hearts and minds by force. Nothing we can do to make the various factions not kill each other and live together in a country none of them want in it's present form. The west created iraq without regard for cultural boundaries and it is just not going to hold tegether no matter how many solders we feed to that retarded meat grinder.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

What would Hillary do?

 

[Peach]

What would Hillary do?

Bomb, possibly send in troops....gotta 'look tough'. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama......Clinton? Too much akin to dynasties for me.

 

[Geaux4it]

Obama is clearly fighting here to lose again. Limited airstrikes do nothing. Unless he is willing to go all in with carpet bombs, which includes boots on the ground, then we should just end it now. In other words, Iraq is not to big to fail. Obama has already ensured that outcome

Why didn't Obabble listen to his Veep?

 

[The Rabbi]

I asked several times what Obama's strategy in Iraq is. I got no answer. Probably because the correct answer is, Do enough to look like he's doing something about the problem. Then hope something else comes along to knock it off the front page.

 

[RandallFlagg]

Well, let's see. It's another lie. 134 "advisors" are currently on the ground in Iraq. Look for 500 or so more in the coming days.


Now, before you Nazi fuckers start screaming "THEY AREN'T COMBAT TROOPS!!!" They are armed an have the authority to fire at the "enemy". Here's a clue - if they are armed - they are COMBAT TROOPS.


One more lie from the Chicago thug.

 

[Geaux4it]

Yep- The fools here better listen to what I'm saying. We will be full balls up in the mix in the coming months. Now Odummie is considering. 'Boots on the Ground'

What a lying sack of chit and the left chews on it like gum

U.S. Weighs Iraq Rescue Mission to Save Yazidis

WASHINGTON—The U.S. is weighing a military mission in Iraq to rescue thousands of Yazidi refugees, a move that risks putting American forces in direct confrontation with Sunni fighters for the Islamic State.

The proposal is still under development and hasn't been approved by President Barack Obama. U.S. officials said the rescue mission is one of many options the U.S. military is weighing after dropping food and water to dying refugees over the past six days.

So ... what would you military geniuses have done?

Take your time - tell us all about what YOU would have done.

It seems to be a commonality amongst 'Obable' haters to play arm-chair QB.

Whatever he does is wrong or socialist or Kenyan or whatever.

Our next POTUS should just ask Obamy what he would do and then do opposite, like the proverbial reverse barometer.

It's what the R's do anyhow.

Any time we send 'advisers' anywhere, they are always armed and allowed to defend themselves, but consider for a moment what you might have to say if the anointed one did NOTHING ... if he stood by while all of our sacrifice to free Iraq, unraveled?

You of course would applaud him for doing the 'right thing.'

I'm not elected to make those decisions. Furthermore, its not within the scope of my responsibilities.

What would I have done if I could make the decision? I would admit I screwed up by not at least trying to negotiate SOFA and keep a military presence there. Second- I would not be lying to the people like Obama is so comfortable doing. I wouldn't be inching in like he's doing either. Everyone knows what the outcome is going to be here, yet he continues to lie while adding more 'Boots on the Ground'

What they would have done is obvious, violate the binding agreement to withdraw causing and new round of unrest, a thousand more Americans will have died and Iraq would still be a violent place full of sectarian violence and corruption.

I am the guy in favor of wiping ISIS off the face of the map. Here's the Chicago Thugs problem. He continually has stated that there will be "no boots on the ground" while he sends troops to put their "boots on the ground". Again, another bullshit lie from this clown car administration.

I would prefer that he bomb every square inch of Iraq unit the threat from ISIS is gone. He will, instead, pussy-foot around and screw this thing royally (as he has already done). News reports state that he was warned by both the CIA and the DIA a YEAR AGO about ISIS and he sat with his finger up his ass and did nothing. Now, ISIS is out of control and is twice as powerful as the entire Iraqi Army - hell, the Iraqi Army RUNS when they approach.

Barry - either shit or get the hell off the pot. Grow a pair of balls (rather than those grape nuts you have) and get the damned job done.
