U.S. military mulls sending about 300 more troops to Iraq as airstrikes continue

We're laying off our military and the geniuses in charge want another "surge". I'd rather send politicians - they're expendable, and no one will miss them!

So how many troops have be sent before we have “boots on the ground”? One thousand? Five thousand? Or since this is Obama, will the liberal media just parrot the line that they are only “peacekeepers” or “advisors” (like that makes a difference to ISIL)...

Do this about 1,000 times and you will be close to settling this thing.

” military planners are weighing the possibility of sending more American forces to Iraq”

Isn’t this interesting, “military planners” not Obama are supposedly doing this.

Dumb’O does not want to be associated with re-sending boots on the ground to Iraq... and the complicit media is more than ready to oblige.

And ISIS, ISIL, The State, or the New Caliphate ...is terrified.

It's almost inhuman in its massive threat. < /sarc >

The similarities to Vietnam increase every day: Democrat president, troops are called “advisors”, incremental escalation, ROE that impede the troops ability to get the job done, ...

300 more troops?

Do we have a Status Of Forces agreement or will they be subject to the Sharia Law and the other legal whims of the Iraqi government?

So how many between 1,000 to over 2,000 US troops do we have in Iraq?

Hopefully, Obozo and Holder are allowing them to have ammo in their weapons and fire at will ROE’s.
