President Barack Obama told Congress on Monday the United States was deploying up to 275 military personnel to provide support and security for U.S. personnel and the country's embassy in Baghdad after militants seized control of the north of the country.

Obama lies once again!!! Last Friday, Obama, the serial lie teller, told the American people there would never be any USA troops (boots) on the ground in Iraq....and this evening....he is sending 250 troops to Iraq!!! Enough said!!!

Just enough to get massacred. Not enough to make a difference.

Well ya, but it’s mot like it’s some revelation. then again, with the drooling sycophancy lately by some freerpers it just might be.

U.S. citizens traveling abroad should regularly monitor the U.S. Department of State's, Bureau of Consular Affairs website, where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, Travel Alerts, and Country Specific Information can be found.

Much of the time, you can not believe what these clowns are saying. There are usually travel warnings about Mindanao, in the Philippines, but I have traveled around the island a lot, and never had a problem. Certainly, there are some places to avoid, but much of their pontificating is false. Maybe the best thing to do, is stay completely away from the Middle East.

It’s a rather small number. I hope it’s just for targeting air strikes. Really, we don’t need a large contingent but we do have the military know how to knock the camel humpers back just enough to make it a conflict they’ll have to fight for.

Really we should have done some hard negotiating for some cash or oil royalties.

Are they in hovercraft????? I though Clown Prince nobama said no troops on the ground”? The criminal chronic liar wouldn’t lie to the American people...would he?

[Tammy8]

I don’t think these bad guys are known to take hostages.

Uh ... shouldn’t that read “Obama ASKS Congress to approve sending troops to Iraq”?

[al_c]

Once again, he skirts the rules.

“ten thousand on stand-by and you send 250” That’s all the imposter needs to negotiate away the rest of the GITMO detainees.

My thoughts exactly!

He’s more apt to provide the troops with cardboard & magic markers so they can write out hashtag messages.
