WAIT.... WHAT????

Barack Obama said U.S. Troops were only going back in advisory role, and:

“I will not commit you and the rest of our Armed Forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq.”

Now, they ARE fighting, ON THE GROUND.

An even better question is, why are we only learning about this NOW, though foreign sources, and why aren't the non-FOX US Media curious enough to ask about it?

It’s called Obonics. To translate Obonics to English you take whatever he says and turn it around 180 degrees.

"...100 U.S. military 'advisers'."

Apparently giving some good advice!

Well, he didn’t mean it. Or, he misspoke. Or maybe he didn’t have all the facts. Whatever. Give the man a break! /s

I know people who would use everyone of those excuses.

The US media did report it, but it went through the newspeak translation department. The same one that said the hundreds of tons of WMD components in Iraq did not exist.

If they’re getting attacked, that doesn’t say much for the Iraqi force charged with protecting them.

What's the matter? News about U.S. forces kicking the crap out of Islamists upset you because your mother country Russia can't do the same to a poorly armed and trained Ukraine? Or is it that you just want Iraq to fall to a terrorist organization?

Typical cowards, run up against a strong military force and the run like hell. Cowards.

I think this underscores how having even a few thousand American troops stationed in Iraq would have stabilized the country and kept ISIS from getting a foothold.

Obama lost the peace in Iraq by his irresponsible actions and now hundreds of thousands , if not millions of Iraqis are paying the price.

It would be really interesting to get the Iraqi peoples take on how the water boarding of a handful of al -Qaeda terrorists helped set the stage for America's withdrawal now that al -Qaeda has returned and instituted a reign of terror

If you have lost count of 0bama’ lies it’s because you don’t have a super computer.

Isn’t Kerry worried that the militants won’t like us if we shoot back?

Pray America is waking

Probably the most dramatic reading on the Vietnam war, is the Army Special Forces fighting for survival at their tiny little SF bases with a handful of green berets and their indigenous troops, where they were always in danger of being overrun, and constantly being harassed and attacked.

It is beneath the dignity for the brave sodiers of allah to engage with filthy infidel armies!

They have so much more worthwhile work to do making allah safe from ridicule or abandonment by assaulting children and candy stores.

So is Obolo setting these guys up for an Alamo scenario, when ISIS comes back with 5,000 wanting their 72 virgins?

Get off his case.

He'll get mad about it a week from now when he hears about it on the American "news"...

What’d you say, anyway, trclaf?!
The posts on this thread are ornerier than a ball of copperheads suffering from shingles ... meaner than a crocodile with a rotten toothache, as frisky as a pit bull with two peters.

He sure gave them enough time to ravish the Christians in the region before he stepped it up.

That’s okay. McStupid was posing for pictures with ISIS fighters a while back, calling them freedom fighters.

We are doomed with stupid and evil at the helm.
