WASHINGTON (AP) The White House is considering sending a small number of American special forces soldiers to Iraq in an urgent attempt to help the government in Baghdad slow the nation's rampant Sunni insurgency, U.S. officials said Monday.
While President Barack Obama has explicitly ruled out putting U.S. troops into direct combat in Iraq, the plan under consideration suggests he would be willing to send Americans into a collapsing security situation for training and other purposes

Too little too late to save Iraq. All the US lives spent to give Iraq a democracy were sadly in vain as Obama just bugged out and handed the country to Islamic fascists. Ditto for Afghanistan. At this point only massive US air strikes might deter the militants, but without a significant commitment of US troops Iraq is lost thanks to Obama.
The time to do the right thing has come and gone.
Heaven knows he's given us enough clues concerning who he is.
“No Boots On The Ground”,,didn’t King Obama say that a couple of days ago? Then, I called him a liar and said if he says no boots,,there will be boots.
What do you know,,,is anyone shocked?
Do some homework. McRaven gives good speech. Good guy he ain’t.
Yeah, sure. If successful, they’ll out them later.
A lesson Obummer should learn, also, but won't.
That would be like trying to put out the sun with a thimble full of water. They need to send in an overwhelming force or none at all.
- nuke ‘em
- it works...
Is O Drama trying to kill off our special forces....
unbelieveable incompetence.
“Exactly. Send in a small force without support and no matter how well they fight, they will be overwhelmed.”
And Obama will issue a “stand down” order to any unit in the area that attempts a rescue...and the O-bots will cheer.
Is there anything left this Drama Queen hasn’t destroyed?
Breaking : U.S. President tells Congress that U.S. will deploy around 275 troops to Iraq to provide support for U.S. personnel and embassy in Baghdad
His speech was good.
Briefly, what did he do to not make him a good guy? Thanks.
“Vietnam, anyone?”
no, Mogadishu
if special forces get into trouble on the ground in iraq, there will be no-one to come help, except the iranian military... what could possibly go wrong ?
also, with soldiers guarding the green zone wearing civilian clothes under their uniforms, the iranian military is now the guarantor of the us embassy
I am so damned glad I am retired. So glad that I served under a president that knew what he was doing, Jimmy Carter!!!!! Cannot believe I said that, but when it comes to Obama, Carter is starting to look like George Washington II. The REAL president I served under of all those I served under, was the Gipper. Man I miss that guy.
lol & Clinton like Milton Friedman.
Of all the presidents to begin acting like an emperor it had to be this clown.
I can’t believe this. (but then , I have said that for the last few years!)
Just tell the spec ops to stay off the chinooks./S
Typical sleight of tongue from Obama.
