President Obama is sending an “expeditionary force†of U.S. military special operators to carry out raids against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, a move that expands on their decision to send about 50 special operators to Syria to coordinate air strikes.
“In full coordination with the Government of Iraq, we’re deploying a specialized expeditionary targeting force to assist Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga forces and put even more pressure on [ISIS],†Defense Secretary Ash Carter told the House Armed Services Committee in announcing the new deployment on Tuesday.
Although the term “expeditionary force†evokes large-scale mobilizations such as those seen in World War II or the Iraq War, Carter outlined a more limited deployment. But his announcement still provoked questions about the legal basis for the move, and caused one Democrat to warn of the specter of nuclear war with Russia.

It was Obama’s full intention. You don’t go arming your enemies especially if biblical prophecy is coming true on multiple fronts and the Apocalypse hasn’t happened...yet.
Unacceptable.
There is NO authorization on the books to undertake such an endeavor.
Congress should cut funding for all Syrian operations and impeach this sombitch now.
Obama wants to destroy America, not annihilate it.
He won’t do anything to cause the deaths of the cretins who worship him.
Not according to the government of Iraq. They say that the US troops are unneeded and unwelcome.
Not that Obama gives two figs about biblical prophecy, of course. In line with his co-religionists, he’s working to bring about the circumstances for the appearance of the Hidden Imam.
He us not fighting IS, ISIS, ISIL, or whatever the name of the day is. This is his creation and he is trying to topple yet another middle east country, part of his ongoing arab spring .
He has provided them with arms and supplies since they were formed.
He supposedly was bombing them for 18 months, during which time they established an international oil export operation that employed hundreds of tanker trucks at a time. These are clearly visible vie surveillance yet he allowed it to occur.
These latest troops are not sent to fight AGAINST ISIS, but to fight with them.
And what will Comrade Cadet Commander Obama do when Russia decides to enforce its own no fly zone? Will he take Cadet Commander Kasich’s advice and blow them outta the sky?
Except when they do clash, either accidentally or on purpose. Obama, you couldn't wait to get out of there, and now you have created a mess due to your stupidity when it comes to foreign affairs.
Oh yeah - looking forward to stumbling into WW3 with a traitorous president who hates 80% of the people he “leads”.
maybe so but if he knows people are looking for biblical prophecy to fulfill he will exploit it to use it to his advantage.
Good point
The only thing I’m reminded of is his “(t)hese countries are tiny” rhetoric.
He won’t do anything to cause the deaths of the cretins who worship him.
Actually, he couldn’t care less about them. Besides, they’re intermingled in with the rest of us.
Gabbard is a major in the Hawaii National Guard. She is no dummy Dem. Obammy will have his hands full trying to control this gal.
Congress can’t cut funding when they authorize spending through an Omnibus continuing resolution. It just amounts to a giant slush fund to be expended at the whim of the executive branch. With a wink and nod from the complicit RINOS.
She was also deployed to Iraq.
While in the minority, she is doing the confrontation Republicans refuse to do.
There are no real surprises with Omoron. He said what he wanted to do and he is doing it. What I don’t understand is why people still cannot believe or understand what he has been doing all along. Omoron is not a fool. It’s the idiots that voted for him because he was the messiah. When these idiots are put in concentration camps maybe then they will understand. But then they might not. Even in a concentration camp they still get fed so they don’t care.
