That told you, right there, that troops would be going. He can’t help himself. He just can’t tell the truth.

You have remembered an inconvenient Obama truth. You must be a racist that hates the idea of a black president, right?

I can’t either. But, you know they will go. They are Americans, and they know there are other Americans in harms way. Zero knows this too. All we can do now is pray for their safety.

I doubt they will be given bullets or sharp instruments of war either.
If you are going into this SH-hole you do it right, No ROE! And 250 will be laughed at. What an embarrassment from a
Community Organizer -n- Chief playing general.
Maybe he'll just send in the Gays to fly the rainbow flag.
