Another Baby Step Towards "George W. Obama"

by JASmius



Send hundreds of U.S. troops back into Iraq, not to fight ISIS (which, at this point would require approximately a thousandfold more of them, per the standard 10-1 insurgency fighting ratio, and we don't have that many ground troops period anymore), but to pretend to train the Iraqis to pretend to fight ISIS as cover for providing ISIS more military aid, and to serve as either subsequent rescue fodder (Saigon April 1975-style, of course) or the next load of severed heads for ISIS's next round of splatter videos.

Did I leave anything out?:

The Pentagon is drawing up plans to expand the training of Iraqi forces and Sunni tribal fighters in a step that could mean deploying hundreds of additional US troops, officials said Tuesday.

But Barack Obama's administration is not contemplating a radical change in war strategy or sending American forces into ground combat -- despite advances by the Islamic State group on the battlefield.

"We've determined it is better to train more Iraqi security forces. We are now working through a strategy on how to do that," Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren told reporters.

"Because the forces we've trained are performing better than expected, we feel it's in everyone's interest to train more."

No, I think I covered all the bases.

You could also call it, "Screwing over the mullahs," given the convoluted double-dealing.  But as long as they get their nukes, what do they care?

Speaking of ISIS splatter videos, their business is once again picking up in Libya:

A group of Christians are among the eighty-six Eritrean refugees, including women and children, who’ve been kidnapped by terror group ISIS in Libya. The kidnapping comes less than two months after twenty-eight Ethiopian Christians were executed by the terror group.

The Stockholm-based International Commission on Eritrean Refugees reported on Sunday that the captives were taken last week, following an ambush by the jihadists on a vehicle traveling to Tripoli.

A president who was both genuinely American and genuinely Christian would militarily intervene everywhere the Islamic State is established if for no other reason than to put a stop to their mass murder of the Brethren by sending them to hell with extreme prejudice.  What, after all, ever happened to "Responsibility to Protect"?  Or did it say "except for Jews and Christians" or "other than the 'People of the Book'" in the fine print?

Or did "We, The People" elect neither an American (philosophically) nor a Christian?

Sure is an easy question to answer based upon the evidence.
