It's the dumb as fuck Congress that is calling for more troops to get involved with the fight. We don't need to defeat ISIS and it can't be done militarily anyway. Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have taught us that. The locals have to want freedom and democracy or it will not happen. It cannot be imposed. ISIS is not our problem. It's middle east's problem and they have the money and people to deal with it if they want to. Americans do not want to do the fighting for people unwilling to fight themselves. Let the lavishly equipped Saudi and Gulf States militaries deal with ISIS. If they do well, we will support them with more tools and training. The Syrian and Iraqi civil wars are NOT OUR FIGHT. Let them kill each other and we will deal with whoever is left standing.
So Congress just ordered 450 more troops to Iraq? I'm confused, because the Clinton News Network and other liberal news outlets are reporting that it was Obama. I thought these liberal mouth pieces were the last oasis of truth in this conservative desert of lies.
Obama sent more advisors to Iraq. Voices in Congress are calling for a major military involvement. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/15/u...-us-troops-in-fighting-isis-in-iraq.html?_r=0 http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/01/26/mccain-calls-for-more-ground-troops-to-fight-isis.html http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/21/politics/2016-gop-iraq-ground-forces/ http://www.cbsnews.com/news/republicans-still-calling-for-u-s-ground-troops-to-fight-isis/
Sent advisors and trainers to Iraq, exactly how we started in Vietnam. And this year's after Obama declared victory and called the war over saying he had made true on his promise to end the war and withdraw all troops.
