As time goes on I'm liking the Kurds more and more. They'll probably kick IS rear end with their Gilligan's Island Tank Made of Coconuts and Vines too.

in the article he says troops will be doing fighting on the ground and that if other nations cant step up �We have no choice. They intend to kill us. These are barbarians, if we don�t destroy them first we are going to pay the price."

quote:

The Pentagon announced on Sept. 25 that the Headquarters element of the 1st Infantry Division is now staged in Kuwait, under orders for a one-year deployment to Baghdad, Irbil and possibly other cities in Iraq. This is just the first of many future rotations.

Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said of the deployment �The complexity of the environment that we have to operate in now, and probably the next 10 to 15 to 20 years, we need these headquarters.� With that, this general who built his career on the 2003 war, set the stage for people not even born yet to be sent to occupy Iraq.

The 1st Infantry Division, a tank unit, was also sent to Iraq as one of the advance elements prior to the U.S. ground invasion in March 2003. Their initial deployment was extended by six months to fight an armed uprising by the Iraqi people, completely unanticipated by the generals and politicians.

Around 500 regular Army soldiers (increased from 130 announced the day before, in true Washington fashion), will be leaving their families for 12 months to return to the site of the U.S. government�s most blood-drenched foreign policy disaster since the war on Vietnam.

Dick Cheney became "a bad guy" because people back then were actively fighting the US getting involved in WMD search

This time I don't know if anyone gives a poo poo anymore, everyone's all "Yeah, just airstrike the poo poo out of the east, just don't send me"

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/29/world/meast/isis-syria-iraq-strikes/

According to a new CNN/ORC International poll, 73% percent of Americans support the U.S.-led coalition of airstrikes in Iraq and Syria -- and most believe ISIS poses some level of threat to the United States.

But a majority 60% also oppose sending ground troops in the fight.

Even though Obama has said he will not put combat troops in the region, the United States does have military advisers on the ground training and helping the Iraqi army strategically as it battles ISIS.

The neo-Iraqi army is just like the Iranian nuclear program: always six months away from being operational. For the last ten years.
