Since June, the U.S. military has been slowly stockpiling massive amounts of its gear coming out of Afghanistan at a depot in Kuwait adjacent to a bustling commercial port, in preparation for ultimately shipping it across the border into Iraq for an allied offensive against the Islamic State group, US News reports. Air Force Maj. Gen. Rowayne “Wayne” Schatz admitted, "from June to December, we’ve worked a lot on moving items into Kuwait," including 3,100 vehicles, most of them MRAPs. While the military stands by President Barack Obama’s repeated pledge that he will not put U.S. combat forces on the ground, an increasing number of U.S. troops has slowly trickled back into Iraq.

He’s simply going to fight to juuuust the extent so as to avoid a total loss in HIS TERM.

Nothing more.

Do NOT give it to the Iraqis; if any is given away, give it to the Kurds.

But...but...Obama pulled the troops out of Iraq because there was no reason to be there. The liberal press repeated this 10,000 times a day.

[Cen-Tejas]

Hopefully ONE!

Do I hear six months from anybody?

[ClearCase_guy]

Fortunately, this sort of thing could never happen in Afghanistan. That war is OVER,
