The US has sent 130 more military advisers to northern Iraq to assess the scope of the humanitarian mission.
The soldiers have been sent to northern Iraq to "develop additional humanitarian assistance options beyond the current airdrop effort in support of displaced Iraqi civilians trapped on Sinjar Mountain".
The announcement comes as a suicide bomber attacked a checkpoint near the Baghdad home of new Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi.

Obviously ISSIS started after they saw that “Benghazi Video”..We really have to arrest more guys making these anti Islamic videos!

But they are wearing flip flops, so there are still "no boots on the ground".

Would sending more advisors be considered horsesh**?

They’re coming with equipment. More drones, more Hellfires, more pilots, more trainers -aka more ‘advisers’.
Yes, I’ve volunteered. We, myself included, earned this victory and we’re not going to let some POS nihilist LOSERS ruin it.
IS = worst of Western civilization, worst of Muslim civilization. They are losers. They will be annihilated and I want to be there to participate in their annihilation. They have no honor. They are irredeemable.

They will be wearing sneekers, NOT boots, thus enabling bh0 to ‘tell the truth.’

Many of the ambulatory scampered out the escape route the Kurds managed to open up two days ago. The Iraqis are copter ferrying some, though one of their birds went down today. Mostly what’s needed is setting up refugee camps for the survivors.

Something tells me they do most of their “advising” using the business end of their weapons.
