Obama’s words must be parsed carefully. He said he would not send combat troops into Iraq to help the Iraq government battle militants massing near Baghdad. While he has done his best to purge the US Military of leaders unwilling to do his will, the remnants have probably made it clear there will not be a repeat of Benghazi. I would expect troops will be sent in to protect the Embassy - probably a lot of troops. Obama has wasted a lot of time after totally wasting the opportunity to strengthen the existing government, and unfortunately we will probably see a lot of US lives lost trying to defend the Embassy and those there when our air assets could have effectively slowed ISIS to the point the Iraq government could have held together. Probably too late now.

Good analysis. Seems about right. For all we know though Obama might not even be calling the shots at this point. If you were in the military right now, would you give a crap about Obama’s golf score in Palm Springs today ? What if you could save a few hundred lives for a court martial. Obama and his administration have no military clue and half the time they side with the Islamic terrorists.
