Obama to send up to 300 "military advisers" to Iraq

[Figaro]

Barack Obama announced on Thursday that a contingent up to 300 “military advisers” will be sent to help Iraq's beleaguered army repel the advance of Sunni insurgents, but insisted the US would not be dragged into another bloody war in the country
But there is BS! Seems like a starting of new war. Or no, not so. This is the beginning of a new useless meat grinder for our soldiers

"Military advisors," "precision strikes," ... starting to sound like a compilation of the worst democrat military approaches in modern history. Wonder how that's going to turn out...

If somebody had been interested in seriously negotiating a SOF agreement and understood the value of all that had been accomplished in Iraq instead of craving that 10-second, juicy media moment the way he craves a cig, things might look quite different now.

It's interesting, will this war all about oil again? Do you know, that the oil reserves of Iraqi Kurdistan - the sixth largest in the world and it is 60% of all produced in Iraq? Well, I'm not saying that this is so, but it can be a cause

This one might become about oil, but the last one there was not.

In this case, why is Obama doing it? Do you think that all this new war is only to protect religious minority? I don`t think so. Obama is not just a good guy who wants justice and order in the whole world. It's not his style

A well organized terrorist organization that is more dangerous than al Qaeda has vowed to attack the US and Europe. They have already infiltrated us with traitors. It is not a question of "if" they will strike, it is a question of when, where and how.
We are in the same position that we were in when al Qaeda was making threats and attacks in the 90's. There was apathy and avoidance of taking action. It took 9/11 to wake everyone up. Unfortunately, we are going down that same road. The war is coming. All leaders can do in times like this is prepare the best they can and the best the public will allow them.
In the end, it will take armored divisions to roll over ISIL and all those associated with them. They will have to be annihilated and pounded into dust from one end of their territory to the other. If not, expect and prepare for some significant terror attacks for a significant period of time.

Unfortunately Obama has stated that his goal is to contain them--not destroy them.

Damage control. Midterm elections. Image isn't everything with this guy - it's the only thing.

We started off with advisors in Nam. Look what happened there.

We've done our bit for Iraq and its up to them to hold onto their country.

We certainly don't need to sacrifice anymore of our young men and women in uniform to that shithole

 

[M14 Shooter]

Obama needs to deploy a couple infantry and an heavy armor brigade to Iraq and, with extreme prejudice, send these barbarians off to see Allah.

Spot on! Obama did not "start" this....lets hope he knows how to get us through it. This is far more serious than what most Americans care to think. We have GOT to take out ISIS.

Inhofe: ISIS strategizing to 'blow up' U.S. city
America now in 'most dangerous position we've ever been in'
Published: 2 hours agoRead more at Inhofe: ISIS strategizing to ‘blow up’ U.S. city

The ranking Republican on the Armed Services Committee in the U.S. Senate is warning that ISIS terrorists, those who this week beheaded an American journalist, are working on a plan they could use to blow up an entire American city.

The comments from Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., came in an interview with the Fox affiliate in Oklahoma City.

He said the U.S. now is in “the most dangerous position we’ve ever been in.”

Responding to questions about terror and the threat facing Americans, he said, “They’re crazy out there. And they are rapidly developing a method of blowing up a major U.S. city. You just can’t believe that’s happening.”

He told the station the threat is significant, and he blamed it on the cuts in defense spending made by Barack Obama.

“He’s going to have to come up with something we’re going to do because they’re holding another hostage … and the problem is the president, he says all these things and he never does them.”

ISIS members, he said, are “really bad terrorists. They’re so bad that al-Qaida’s afraid of them.”

The threat to the U.S. should not be underestimated, he said.

“This idea they’re coming in, infiltrating the United States. Sure some are coming in that are associated with ISIS, but a majority of them are still over there and they are undoing a lot of the good that has been done,” he said.

According to a report in The Hill, ISIS, also known as Islamic State, “has long threatened to carry out a catastrophic attack on American soil, with a spokesman recently boasting that the militant group would fly its flag over the White House.”

WND reported just a day earlier that ISIS is training jihadists to attack targets in the U.S. and Europe.

U.S. intelligence sources said the al-Qaida splinter group includes thousands of European and American jihadists who fought in the Syrian civil war and came to Iraq to train and fight, first on behalf of various jihadist groups and now ISIS.

ISIS has declared the establishment of a caliphate that includes portions of northeastern Syria and western and central Iraq. It has threatened to expand throughout the Levant, which includes Syria, southern Turkey, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

ISIS could join forces with other al-Qaida groups such as Al-Qaida in the Arab Peninsula, or AQAP, and Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM.

The development would make Europe particularly vulnerable from the south, especially through Spain, as WND recently reported.

Sources report in all, there are more than 2,000 Europeans and some 100 Americans who have gone to Syria to join ISIS.

The International Center for the Study of Radicalization at King’s College in London believes among the Europeans are some 700 French, 500 British, 100 Dutch, 300 German and 300 from various other countries, including Spain.

In June, Spanish officials arrested eight men attempting to recruit militants to fight for ISIS and then return to Spain.

Last fall, Britain’s MI-5 domestic security service stopped a plot to conduct an attack in London on the scale of the one conducted in Mumbai, India, in 2008.

The intelligence sources tell WND that officials in Europe and the U.S. are unprepared for what could be large-scale attacks.

WND also reported military experts are warning the Obama administration’s $1 trillion cut in defense spending will put U.S. military forces at a serious technological disadvantage in future conflicts.

In the past, U.S. technology has acted as a force multiplier, giving American fighting forces a huge advantage in combat situations.

The concern arises not only as ISIS threatens American interests in Syria, Iraq and possibly beyond. It also comes as Russia and communist China are increasing their defense spending for technological development.

“The loss of a long-held technical advantage would be a body blow to the U.S. military,” according to analysts of the open intelligence Langley Intelligence Group Network, or Lignet.

The technologies that would be affected include robotics for specialized combat duties, development of next-generation navigation and reconnaissance systems, unmanned mini-submarines and faster helicopters, the analysts said.

“Times are changing,” the analysts said. “After more than a decade of war, perennial federal budget deficits and a foreign policy notable for its reticence rather than vision, the U.S. defense budget for the next five to 10 years is likely to contract significantly” with a projected $1 trillion in cuts.

Well if those dirtbags attack America then they will be signing their own death warrants.

We will then respond with overwhelming force and IS can kiss its ass goodbye.

Oh wait. I forgot. Obama is president. Never mind.

Congress is on vacation and when they come back they will refuse to pass a single revenue bill that would fund and prepare for the coming storm. They are still stuck on the no increased taxes no matter what idea. So while we should be getting ready and increasing our defenses Congress is busy at the beach and vacations at mountain resorts or having fun somewhere instead of having hearings and meetings about what the Congress should be doing to protect the nation. And their supporters are complaining that the President is playing golf in between his approval of ISI targets and orders to bomb to bomb those specific targets.
Obama doesn't have the authority needed to wage a full fledged war against the enemy that is at our gate. Only Congress has that power. Anyone think they have the courage to do something? Anyone believe the Congress will come back and appropriate funds for the CiC to prepare the nation for war? Last I heard they were talking about shutting down the government again as soon as they get the chance.
