White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement that the 350 U.S. troops are tasked with protecting American diplomatic facilities and personnel in Baghdad, which has been under threat from the spread of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

All troops have been ordered to wear floppies. That will avoid “boots on the ground”.

.....”These additional forces will not serve in a combat role,” the White House said......

So no body bags right?... No missing body parts right?... No kidnappings and beheadings right?

Not nearly enough.

If Obama hadn't been in such a hurry to pull out our troops, we wouldn't be in this mess. But he can't do anything to benefit America as a whole. With him and the people who control him, politics and ideology are the most important criteria for every decision — that is, if and when he makes a decision.

Let’s extract ourselves militarily and monetarily from this latest (oh no…another crisis!) iteration of a foreign entanglement and see how this plays out without us.

The variants of the “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) have enough manpower and weaponry to defeat those (like ISIS) who have hijacked (/sarcasm) the “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) Let them duke/nuke it out.

You got it. If Commie Obamie had left our troops in Iraq, ISIS wouldn’t have made their moves when they did.

I would say, at risk of being discredited in the future, that Obama didn’t give a shit what happened to Iraq once we were out, even if Iran or Al Qaeda took over.

He doesn’t want the US to have military or diplomatic successes because he wants to bring us to our knees, like the white slave owners did to their black slaves.

Obama is a Marxist but he is also a closet racist and reparationist.

If you view him as both, you will completely understand how he operates. I’ve been saying this publicly since 2008 (Wash. Post, May 22, 2008, re the Marxist part), but I was ignored except for the unintentional publication of some of my remarks at a press conference).

If you know how ideologues operate, and what their ideologies and mindsets are, then the rest is simply filling in the dots.
