Top U.S. General Arrives in Iraq as Military Campaign Against ISIS Expands

The top U.S. military officer, General Martin Dempsey, arrived on Saturday in Baghdad on an unannounced visit to meet U.S. commanders preparing to expand American assistance to Iraqi and Kurdish forces battling Islamic State militants.



It was Dempsey’s first trip to Iraq since President Barack Obama, alarmed by Islamic State advances, ordered non-combatant American forces back into the country this summer, less than three years after withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq. The United States began carrying out air strikes in August.

[pismoe]

I think that he is one of the regimes ' boys ' , same a Wesley clark ' [retired] but just my opinion 'jchima' !! I think that there is a purge going on in USA military as well as some bad policy changes . A lot of the older experienced Generals and experienced lower ranks are being forced out , just my opinion !!
