President Obama told Congress on Monday that he is deploying about 200 more troops to Iraq to bolster security at the U.S. Embassy and airport in Baghdad. These and previously announced forces are being sent "for the purpose of protecting U.S. citizens and property, if necessary, and (are) equipped for combat," Obama said in a letter to Congress required under the U.S. War Powers Resolution. Earlier this month, Obama announced the deployment of 275 troops to protect the embassy. In addition to security, these troops will provide "intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support," Obama said. The president is also in the process of sending up to 300 military advisers to assist Iraq as it battles an invading army of jihadists that has taken over major cities and threatens the capital in Baghdad. Poster Comment: The Nobel Peace prize winner continues to deliver war, to the cheers of partisan Ds who blindly look the other way. The Rs have always been predictable in their love for war.

In addition to Iraq, BamBam has gone nuts bombing Syria. www.dailypaul.com/326639/...-by-glenn-greenwald&sss=1 What the fudge is Obama is doing in Iraq and Syria? Does he even know what he's doing? I wonder if he's losing it. No seriously. He's way out in the tall grass now. I'm surprised the military is talking orders from him at this point.
Remember, those flyboys took orders to bomb Christians in Bosnia in defense of invading muslims back in 1999. They'll fling bombs on American soil if they're willing to violate their oaths to the Constitution to wage an unconstitutional war overseas. Bet on it.

I couldn't agree more. One would have to be insane to consider this POS their CIC or that their sacrifice would change things in that sandbox. I'm surprised the military is talking orders from him at this point.
