Plus those Brewster’s guns won’t be loaded and enough fuel to go one way.

Will they be wearing blue helmets? Probably not, but with essentially no support of any kind, they will probably be "wearing" enemy bullets. I despise these rat bastards. Sorry, I don't usually talk like that as a Christian, but sometimes even I can't hold it back.

He should send his Sec of State and his national security Advisor...Kerry and Rice should go, and take Biden along.
After all, this administration is so big on “negotiations”.
Besides Kerry is a War hero( did you know he was wounded in Vietnam???!!)
Let Kerry do a Paris Peace Treaty redux in Baghdad.

What are their rules of engagement?That's the most important question...
Probably they will be sitting ducks...
The fact he sent 275 soldiers to guard American soil (US Embassy) is not surprising at all..
I actually think it's a low number, considering the situation on the ground

It IS a low number, this is what the Brits call
a forlorn hope.
Brave men going in harms way with no commander in chief.

The UN is removing its international staff from Baghdad. The Turkish gov has called on Turkish citizens to leave Iraq.

Treasonous bassturd...1. telling that they’re sending them, and 2. letting them know how many bullets they need, just 275.
Evil seed he is.
To: COBOL2Java
I assume the ROE will be personally written by our CIC...I assume so. They will most likely not have weapons. They will wave rainbow colored flags at the terrorists. That'll learn em alright. That dip stick is light years away from being worthy to lick Patton's boot.
