0bama a liar?

The one thing that’s certain is that the MSM has been instructed on is precisely what they can report and how to report it. They know they are the unofficial propaganda arm of this administration.

Good post.

Fact: There are over a 1,000 American troops in Iraq.

Fact: They are all wearing boots.

Fact: They are all on the ground.

Question: Are they under some new “status of forces” agreement? The lack of which has been Obama’s reason for having to leave Iraq in the first place?

WHAT? Obama LIED again? Say it ain’t so!

It is well known that special operaters must be on the ground to find, select and laze targets. However the U.S. Obama Media Group continue to support the lie that there are no boots on the ground. As usual we only get the actual news from the UK.

American forces are on the ground here’: Kurds claim US commandos ARE fighting ISIS with them in northern Iraq, after Obama said no ‘combat troops’ would fight

| Updated: 15:25 EST, 2 September 2014

President Obama said a week ago that no US ‘combat troops’ would be fighting in Iraq
But Special Forces that looked like Americans were witnessed entering a combat zone near the Iraqi town of Zumar
Kurdish intelligence and military sources told the Daily Beast that German and American forces were on the ground fighting with them
Obama’s careful word-parsing could mean that Special Forces are ‘painting targets’ with lasers for airborne missiles

If I were a ‘reporter in Iraq’ right now, I’d make darn sure I was very close to those boots on the ground.

"Boots on the Ground" - - American's sons, fathers, daughters, mothers and grandchildren...

"Bras in Chambers" - - Women Senators

"Reporters in Iraq" - - Laptops on Sand

Why only dehumanize our protectors?

[McGruff]

Probably was intentional on his part.

They must be wearing Flip Flops instead of Boots.

But, Engel added, "The rest of the strategy seemed incredibly fuzzy -- how there was going to be this international coalition that would lend its moral support of Sunni countries, that you would have to rebuild the Iraqi army, which has lost a tremendous amount of credibility so far; and that you would work with all of these local partners on the ground.

Perhaps one of our willing coalition partners will pony up the troops......I am looking at you Great Britain and France......
