Obama Orders 300 Special Forces Troops to Baghdad


President Obama ordered Thursday up to 300 Special Forces troops to Iraq to advise the struggling Iraqi military and possibly help guide U.S. airstrikes against the extremists of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Obama said the combat-equipped troops would serve in a strictly advisory role and their presence would not violate his earlier pledge against putting U.S. "boots on the ground" in Iraq.

"American combat troops are not going to be fighting in Iraq again," Obama said at a White House press room briefing.

No American troops in the middle east. Let them kill a lot of each other.

300 if far from enough. Obama would know that if he had any experience or wasn't a coward.

This uprising is largely due to Obama and his stupidity. If he would have followed the withdrawal plan that was in place leaving 20,000 troops on various bases in the country to provide a deterrence this uprising wouldn't have happened. It has worked in South Korea and would have worked here.
