The Pentagon is deploying 300 airmen and 12 A-10 combat jets to the Middle East in early October, according to the Indiana Air National Guard.

Yes... but with Obola as commander in chief, it will be in the hands of ISIS within minutes
Let’s add a dozen of Spooky for effect.
Obama is one of them, and as one of them in the position as CINC they bought for him is depleting, or weakening our military resources leaving us vulnerable to them.
Obama, and the Democrat machine are by design traitorous entities. We’d better take back the Senate in November, or else kiss this country good bye. Bon Voyage! Farewell! See ya round!
Eine kleine Nachtmusik..
Yeah, our Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles those apes are driving might be hard to kill.
I’m guessing ISIS must have pilots if we’re sending warthogs.
How about a squadron of BUFFs and a few C-130s with MOABs? Make them sit around their campfires for the next 30 years talking about how they never want the US that pissed at them again, and beating the crap out of any hotheads that suggest it.
Obola is again giving his Caliphate US weapons
under color of War.
To America, he brings Ebola and EV-68 and IS
and open borders and ruin.
You seem to think that we will have to fight ISIS only in the ME.
You seem to forget the many ‘American’ ISIS members swimming in an ocean of ‘peaceful’ muslims as a recruiting source, right here at home.
These cannot be “reached” with C-130’s and can stay hidden for years.
12? Send 200.
Those A-10’s have incredible firepower. If the ROE are reasonable, they could do us a lot of good over there.
IF the rules of engagement are reqasonable.
that’s reasonable
My guess is that Mullah Obama thinks this is a hangar queen, long past it’s time, so it will fail.
Little does he know, this is the beast.
Oh Baby! Bring on the WAR PORN!!!!!!!
Yet another indicator of boots already on the ground...while virtually all A-10 pilots are qualified as airborne forward air controllers (FAC-A), they work best in tandem with ground-based controllers, such as special forces teams or JTACs.
Three weeks ago, a reporter for the Daily Beast (who served as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan and Iraq) was given permission to move up with Kurdish forces near the Mosul Dam. Suddenly, the reporter and his Kurdish escort were told to hold in place because they had “visitors.” Moments later, several armored Toyota pick-up trucks sped past; the reporter said the men inside looked like western SOF, and a Kurdish official confirmed that U.S. and German SF teams are on the ground with the Peshmerga.
If Barry Zero had half a clue, he’d turn the SOF loose, just as GWB did during the surge. SF teams did a lot of critical work that helped break the back of the insurgency.
I don’t care how well financed ISIS is, or how much more competent they are than their predecessor, Al Qaida in Iraq. There isn’t an ISIS fighter alive who is a match for a Green Beret, a SEAL, a Delta operator, a member of the British or Australian SAS, or Germany’s KSK.
Deploying a squadron when it should be a Group or
Wing. Pin pricks are no offence.
More of Obama’s “Sting like a butterfly, float like
a bee” Strategy.
We need to keep the Warthog in our air arsenal until they’re as antiquated as the Sopwith Camel. Incredible machine.
Don't forget, US Marines can be hard on terrorists too. I kind of heard the South Koreans were some bad a$$es. When I was in Nam, the VC feared them. Maybe we could get Koreans to kick a$$es and take names too.
What makes you think Barry has any say in what SOFs are doing or will do? I’m pretty sure he’s not cleared for that information.
