My thoughts too, but at least this is a start. However, I think this is actually in response to the recruitment of Former Russian officers by ISIS. My guess is there objectives is to remove those HVTs from the picture and level the playing field, while also thinning the heard of ISIS fighters with strategic and tactical command experience altogether. Just my thoughts as a OIF Vet.

There are currently 2,630 U.S. military personnel in Iraq. Last summer, the Obama administration sent American troops to Baghdad to augment security at the U.S. embassy as well as a small number of advisers to help the Iraqi military halt ISIS’s advance towards the Iraqi capital.

Since then the White House has authorized the presence in Iraq of as many as 3,100 U.S. military personnel to provide security to American facilities and launch a training and advise mission for the Iraqi military. The Obama administration has repeatedly stated that U.S. personnel sent to Iraq are not combat “boots on the ground” because they will not see frontline combat with Iraqi units. However, senior military commanders have said publicly that Joint Terminal Air Controllers (JTAC’s) may end up paired with Iraqi units to call in airstrikes in complex military operations. The proposed AUMF would enable this limited use of ground forces

Much appreciated Thugs, clean it up boys.

[ezrapound]

Go get em boys! Good hunting and God speed.

[Deb45]

"boots on the ground".......Symantecs!!! Take their boots and put them in nike's and let them go kick some butt. They are so afraid of upsetting their liberal base. They don't care about taking care of the violent threat we all face. They are more worried about their next election.

[King Bean]

30 Chris Kyles (rest in peace) and this thing is over.

[umbertino]

Good...Hope all these 30 will come back home safe ( when they have finished their job).

I'm with something dontlop said in a previous thread. If we don't send in our boys it'll force Iraq and thier neighbors to step it up and defend themselves, which is what probably should happen. Iraq needs to be able to mow its own lawn and handle their own security. They would have been much better equipped to do this had Maliki not replaced the people we trained several years ago with his knuckleheads and basically ended any kind of basic training for the troops. Add 50,000 ghost soldiers to the army and viola one big steaming pile of Shiite

[umbertino]

ISIS is already in Libya and expanding its power ( territory) there by the day... Closest to Europe ( my Country specifically) as never before..

 

Libya is in complete anarchy

US ‘eyeing new air base’ in Iraq amid talk of major offensive on ISIS
Published time: February 14, 2015 11:56 Get short URL

Washington is working to install a new air base in Iraq’s Kurdistan to be used in a campaign against Islamic State (ISIS), media report. This comes as the White House’s special envoy on ISIS speaks of a ground operation in Iraq against the militants.

This time an American stronghold in the region will be deployed in Erbil, the capital of semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in northern Iraq that is expected to be used as a logistics hub to supply primarily munitions for warplanes of the US-led coalition against ISIS militants.

“The base is close to Erbil, the capital of the regional government…The warplanes will do surveillance, but the warplanes which will bomb ISIL targets will not take off from here,” Helgurt Hikmet, spokesperson for the Ministry of Peshmerga (Kurdish self-defense forces) said, as cited by Anadolu Agency.

Turkey’s Hurriyet also reported that the US is preparing documents to get land leasehold for the next 15 years to station US military personnel and warplanes. A number of the US Air Force’s Black Hawk helicopters have already been deployed to Erbil earlier this month, to ensure quick rescue operations to save downed pilots bombing ISIS positions in Northern Iraq. Such operations became a priority after ISIS fighters burnt alive a downed Jordanian pilot.

Fighter jets of the US and its western allies have been conducting airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq since early August. Starting from September 23, the US and its Arab allies: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates started bombing ISIS in Syria, without obtaining any authorization either from Damascus or a UN mandate.

“There will be a major counter offensive on the ground in Iraq,” retired Marine Corps General John Allen, the White House special envoy on the Islamic State, told Jordan's official Petra news agency a week ago. The operation is actually supposed to be an Iraqi army offensive supported by the anti-ISIS coalition firepower.

But on Friday, the Islamic State carried out a coordinated suicide bomber attack against the air base housing 320 US Marines just eight kilometers away from the western Iraqi city of al-Baghdadi, confirmed to be under the extremists’ control now.

The Pentagon said Marines at al-Baghdadi, who are instructors to the Iraqi army, were not directly involved in the fighting.

Back in Iraq like in good old days
When President Barack Obama announced back in 2010 that “American combat mission in Iraq has ended” he really meant that a decade-long war was over.

Less than half a year ago American president remained confident about no American servicemen participating in any ground operations in the Middle East.

“The notion that the United States should be putting boots on the ground, I think would be a profound mistake. And I want to be very clear and very explicit about that," Obama told NBC's Meet the Press program in early September 2014.

The developments in Iraq in the recent months, where ISIS fighters have been capturing territories, forced Washington to deploy instructors to Iraqi army to help it battle terrorists.

Late last year, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, told Congress that US troops might have to take a larger role on the ground in Iraq.

By the end of January there already were 4,500 US troops in Iraq, in training and advisory roles, reported The Guardian.

Finally, on Wednesday President Obama called on to the US Congress to authorize military action against the Islamic State militants ‘in limited circumstances’ and not in ‘enduring’ operations.

“I'm convinced that the United States should not get dragged back into another prolonged ground war,” said the president at the White House.

“The presence of any Americans on the ground has the potential, the danger of becoming the trip wire that can get us deeply involved,” former US Senate foreign policy adviser James Jantras told RT. The expert also questioned the real meaning of the term "enduring".

“What is enduring? Does it mean that they can engage in some firefight on occasion – but not too many of them? What is ‘enduring’ really mean?”

The answer to this question has been voiced by the White House press secretary Josh Earnest, who said that language on the issue is “intentionally fuzzy”.

“We believe there shouldn’t be overly burdensome constraints that are placed on the commander in chief,” Earnest said.
