And since Obama gets all his info from our media he may well believe that he’s really not doing anything in Iraq. Or maybe, he’s not really in control any longer and doesn’t know that either because those actually running the show haven’t had a press conference yet.
You know damn well we have soldiers there. And it’s a matter of time when one will be captured or killed.
“U.S. and German special operations teams had taken up positions in Zumar that allowed them to coordinate with U.S. aircraft.”
I figured that would be happening all along. As to the 38 prisoners that is a mistake. I would not be taking any ISIS prisoners.
Bombs do not get dropped from US aircraft without FACS.
Just remember those American airstrikes had to have had spotters lasing the targets.
It is the military’s job to normally deny where US SPEC OPS types are deployed with few exceptions. These men are most likely from the 5th group at Ft. Campbell as they have worked with the Kurds even long before the last war.
Seriously folks, you do not think the government would lie to us about something as serious as this do you? Did they lie about Vietnam? Did they lie about Cambodia? Did they lie about WMDs in Iraq?
No, not our government. /Sarc with a capital sarc
Not troops — advisers.
[Recall that is what sucked us into Vietnam — upwards of 50,000 advisers.]
CIA SAD/SOG, SAS, or JSOC pax are probably in Syria and Iraq now.
When Obama lies, he lies to EVERYBODY, even his base.
“What? At war? Us? Noooo...”
““There are no U.S. troops on the ground in or around Zumar.” The Pentagon told The Daily Beast on Monday night. Captain Rick Haupt, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, which has control over military operations in the Middle East.”
Since the Sunni Obozo and his Black Muslim buddies took over the outhouse after his first election due to voter fraud, when if ever, has that group of liars ever told Americans the truth?
At a minimum the Kurds neew a few squads of US Air Force ground controllers. The notion that we could do effective air strikes for long without eyes on the ground speaking english is silly. Someplace along the way we’ll see a pic of a guy with a radio pack riding a camel up the Tigris river.
I doubt the Iraqis retook the Mosul dam all by themselves.
I suppose the less we here about that critical objective the better — but the quiet leads me to believe that our guys were very much involved.
I dunno, maybe it’s just me but it seems like IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HELL OF A LOT ****IN’ EASIER TO JUST LEAVE A FEW ****IN’ OCCUPATION TROOPS OVER THERE THEN WE WOULDN’T BE GETTING INTO A THIRD ****IN’ IRAQ WAR AND I... I...
I need a beer.
Kudo’s to this reporter for getting his or her behind out on the front lines where the bullets are flying in order to tell us what is really going on. Lord knows our government will never tell us the truth.
That said, I only want to know that information that our troops say does not put them in jeopardy!
