Obama to Send More Troops to Iraq

And you thought McCain would've been the third Bush term. Well you were right! You were just too deluded to realize Obama and McCain were beholden to the same people Bush was. Two candidates with the same evil agenda. The two real choices in our elections are, vote for the globalist or don't participate in this sham that our electoral process has become.

I chose the latter.

But even more hysterical than liberals who still think Obama is bringing change are the "conservatives" who think Obama is bringing change - for the worse. They honestly believe Obama's policy of "retreat" in Iraq is why we're losing the war, or it's Obama's fault - despite him keeping Bush's Secretary of Defense - that Afghanistan is a disaster. It's not even a quagmire; we're losing. So, more troops will be needed in Afghanistan as well, because, in both theaters, it's not about victory. No, there'll be none of that! We can't go turning off the money fountain to offshore banks and the military industrial complex by actually winning these wars. And, of course, they don't want to go and lose the whole thing outright. No money in that either. It's about sustainability.

Army Times -

About 3,000 additional troops are headed to Afghanistan — but not as part of any new request from the top U.S. commander there, a senior defense official said Monday.

The troops are what the military calls “combat enablers” — noncombat troops who specialize in areas such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; explosives ordnance disposal; medical and mental health; and personnel administration. They will deploy in team-sized elements as opposed to larger units, according to the official, who asked not to be identified.

About 1,000 such troops also will deploy to Iraq, the official said, adding that both groups are being sent in response to existing requests by the theater commanders in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The so-called “request for forces” was approved two weeks ago by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, the official said.

That request has been forwarded to U.S. Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., which is now identifying the troops to be deployed and the services from which they’ll be drawn.

As such, no deployment orders have been signed and no time frame for the deployments has yet been finalized, the official said.
