Fox reported 8,500 Marines choppered in just after
midnite there...
God be with our troops.
But this is still...OBAMA’S WAR
Good hunting Marines. Make Chesty proud.
Why the hell are we announcing this?
how did they fool obozo?
Pryers up. My nephews will be heading there later this year.
I do not agree that this was ever considered a ‘forgotten’ war, Thank you US and coalition troops.

Why didn’t I hear details about this yesterday in the NYT?
Coincidence our military strategy and operational details are no longer being ‘reported’ in advance of operations now that Obama is in office?
This is about the only thing I agree with Obama on.
So its an Obama administration operation, not a US operation. Notioce how the spin all puts it towards Obama.This hog wants to make political hay on the service of our troops for whom he has no respect.
Watch for more restrictive ROEs as soon as the Taliban starts its campaign on civilian casualties.
And may G-D save our troops from the "Obama Administration" that wants politics played in battle.
I pray for our troops & their safety. I feel sorry that they must put their lives on the line, for skinny ass narcisstic 0boooooooombashiite, who is an unconstitutional usurper in chief lying POS. I hope that God removes 0booooooooombashiite from his illegally occupied WH office and saves our troops.
I misread the heading! I thought they were launching against the White House to liberate an oppressed people cowering in fear of a crazy dictator...
Anyone else notice the bias of this first sentence? "Obama's military operations...in the previously forgotten war". Thank heavens B.O. is going to do something since W obviously forgot to. /sarc
Wow this must really piss off the anti-war Libs who voted for Obama.
Godspeed, Marines.
God bless them and watch over each one of them and keep them safe.
I’m retired Air Force, but...
At ‘em Marines!!!! Semper Fi!!
B U M P
....no artillery and no bombs have been dropped from the air — all part of an effort to avoid civilian casualties,
