What does Obama expect to possibly accomplish by sending a few hundred troops into a war zone with no plan, no mission and no purpose other than to be shot at and potentially killed.

Why does Congress approve this completely irrational policy.

There are too few troops to accomplish anything. They have no mission or purpose. They are just supposed to be targets for our enemies.

The story that they are not in combat is another complete lie.

Where are the so called conservatives in Congress when our troops are put in this position?

I think your question answers itself. It gives a lift to the Muslim terrorists in the jihad against the Great Satan.

Sorry to tell you, that is the purpose.

".....Despite Americans being killed on the battlefield with ISIS, the White House has maintained U.S. troops are simply acting as advisors in a dangerous region but are not involved in combat......"

Yes, I remember that same language in the early 1960's. Someplace in Asia I believe.

Obama has killed more troops than anyone since the last real war, and all to no purpose. Or else, fighting on the wrong side.

“The White House is Lying.” Yes, every hour of every day.

Few hundred? You’re a bit behind - it’s now over 4,000 pairs of boots on the ground in Iraq.

That’s not counting those troops assigned to Kuwait who pull extra duty in Iraq.
