It’s another night of lies from TOTUS as he spins another liberal fantasy.
Of the roughly 50,000 American military personnel who remain in Iraq, the majority are still combat troops — they’re just named something else. The major units still in Iraq will no longer be called “brigade combat teams” and instead will be called “advisory and assistance brigades.” The differences in brigade structure and personnel are minimal.
American troops in Iraq will still go into harm’s way. They will still accompany Iraqi units on combat missions, even if only as “advisers.” American pilots will still fly combat missions in support of Iraqi ground forces. And American special forces will still face off against Iraqi terrorist groups in high-intensity operations.
