Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) called Tuesday for the U.S. to take “direct action” in Iraq and launch a military strike to prevent Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants from taking control of Bagdad. “Most important is that we take direct action now against ISIS, marching down to Baghdad, and prevent them from getting into Baghdad,” Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee said. On Monday, the Obama Administration announced that about 275 U.S. Army troops where on the ground in Iraq “to provide support and security for U.S. personnel and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.” Senior Administration officials have been quick to point out that the troops are designated as non-combat units meant to protect U.S. personnel and property and advise Iraqi forces. But not every believes the Administration is telling the whole truth. “The White House may say that special operations ‘advisors’ is different than sending ‘combat troops’,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl deduced, “but they would be advising Iraqi forces in Iraq—something more than just training—and it is hard to make the case they would not be in harm’s way.” Feinstein appears to be calling for broader involvement in the Iraq situation than the White House, telling reporters that she is in communication with top Administration and intelligence officials. “I think it’s most important that the Maliki government be replaced, and that includes Mr. Maliki with a reconciliation government,” she said. “Based on all I’ve heard, read and know, Mr. Maliki is not able to bring about reconciliation in that country. “So you need the political strategy, you need the military strategy,” said Feinstein. “Hopefully that’s going to be forthcoming.”

I agree with Feinstein, we should go into Iraq with guns blazing, with Feinstein leading the charge, her Uzzi hot to kill.
6-star General Dianne Feinstein, reporting for duty....
Quite often we read about our "valiant ally" in the Middle East, Israel. When was the last time they sent troops in harms way in our endless years in the Middle East? Never. Let the American masses fight and die for Israel.

"Join the U.S. military and FIGHT for Israel!" -should be posted outside of every recruiting office in America.
