Will U.S. advisers move to Iraqi front lines?

The upcoming Iraqi assault to retake Mosul from ISIS control could include U.S. military advisers near the front lines.

U.S. military leadership has held open the possibility it would recommend moving advisers closer to combat lines. As the key Mosul battle looms, that remains a potential consideration "if and when they believe it's necessary," a senior U.S. military official tells CNN.

The possible recommendation would need to be approved by President Barack Obama, who has said that U.S. troops will not be sent on a combat mission. But putting advisers with front-line Iraqi troops puts American troops in close range of what is likely to be an intense battle with the terror group.

Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Lloyd Austin, head of U.S. Central Command, would make that recommendation to Obama if they determine Iraqis need U.S. help and there is no other option for providing it.

In case you haven’t noticed—these A-rabs (ALL NATIONALITIES AND BRANDS) make VERY POOR SOLDIERS!!!!

Any additional backbone supplied by (Christian, Judeo-Christian, or Westernized) leadership will work wonders.

Remember Lawrence of Arabia was ONE MAN (with a bushel of gold, natch).

Yeah, they make poor soldiers until they're radicalized and unified by a psychotic murder cult. Still poor soldiers after, in our understanding of the term, but the difference is they're unified and willing to spread their murdering faith by any means.

If they get to do some Russian-style plundering along the way that's just good fun for them.

Just send in the Warthogs already.
