Iraq calls for US Millatary Aid
No big deal. They aren't combat troops.

Leviathan.Chaosx said: » Jetackuu said: » Since when did military advisers equate to troops? Quote: A troop is a military unit, originally a small force of cavalry, subordinate to a squadron. In many armies a troop is the equivalent unit to the infantry section or platoon. Exceptions are the Royal Horse Artillery and the US Cavalry, where troop refers to an infantry company or artillery battery. A cavalry soldier of private rank is called a trooper in many Commonwealth armies (abbreviated Tpr, not to be confused with trouper). A related sense of the term troop refers to members of the military collectively, as in the troops; see Troop (disambiguation). Like I said: when did some advisers equate to troops? Shiva.Viciousss said: » No big deal. They aren't combat troops. No, they're still not troops and to call them as such is purposely misleading.
Leviathan.Chaosx said: » Jetackuu said: » Since when did military advisers equate to troops? They are troops, but it's not really the same thing. This has an extremely high chance of devolving into everyone's favorite catalyst for a 100 page thread, the Semantic debate, but Advisers aren't recognized as combat troops. Leviathan.Chaosx said: » Quote: The Obama administration may announce on Tuesday a decision to send more military advisers to Iraq, U.S. officials said, as the United States helps confront radical Islamist militants who threaten Iraqi minorities and the northern Kurdish enclave. Several U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a decision to send at least 70 extra military personnel to Iraq was likely later in the day, but that internal discussions continued and a final decision had not been made. Since fighters from the self-styled Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot, seized much of northwestern Iraq in June, the United States has sent about 700 military personnel to protect U.S. diplomats there and take stock of Iraq's military capacity.

Someone said earlier that oil has nothing to do with it in the interests of the U.S.
Quote: U.S. refiners will refrain from buying more Kurdish crude oil until a long-running dispute between Baghdad and Iraqi Kurdistan is settled, while Washington urges both sides to set aside their differences and helps them tackle Sunni militants. The two known U.S. buyers of Kurdish crude oil have now rejected delivery of cargoes from tankers near New Jersey and Texas, saying they will not make further purchases until it is determined who has the right to sell the oil: the central government of Iraq or the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). I think that was Savael and it wasn't even worth reading.

I never said they weren't troops, I consider anyone on active duty to be troops, but I don't really care to split hairs over the definition. As long as they aren't civilian contractors call them whatever you want, they aren't combat troops, that's all that matters to me.

They're doing exactly what I expect, sensationalist headlines for clickbait. You're just being stupid for stupid's sake.

Chaos: stop projecting.
Figures, no one has anything intelligent or even rational to contribute so let's follow Jet's trolling.
Nice try though.

Internal power struggle of what's left of the Iraqi government continues.
Quote: Nuri al-Maliki stuck to his guns and refused to accept his removal as Iraq's prime minister on Wednesday, but his hold on power was tenuous as Iran's supreme leader, a long-time Maliki ally, publicly backed his replacement. Taking to state television as acting premier, Maliki said the supreme court must rule on this week's move to ask his Shi'ite Islamist party colleague Haider al-Abadi to form a new government - a change that Iran, the United States and many Iraqis see as vital to halt the advance of Sunni militants. But while the loyalty of at least some Shi'ite militia and government forces remains uncertain, there were further signs that Maliki, blamed for alienating the Sunni minority during his eight years in power, is isolated, even among fellow Shi'ites. U.S. President Barack Obama - whose European allies followed his lead on Wednesday to arm Kurdish forces that have taken the recent brunt of fighting with the Sunni Islamic State - has already offered Abadi its endorsement. Washington lost patience with Maliki, who rose from obscurity during the U.S. occupation. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, bound to Tehran's U.S. adversary by a common interest in curbing the rise of Sunni jihadists in Syria and Iraq, offered his personal endorsement to Abadi. He very publicly distanced himself in the process from Maliki, who has looked for support from Iran, where he spent years in exile opposing Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein. "I hope the designation of the new prime minister in Iraq will untie the knot and lead to the establishment of a new government and teach a good lesson to those who aim for sedition in Iraq," Khamenei said in a statement on his website. Leviathan.Chaosx said: » Exactly, they're troops, but non-combat troops. Still trained through normal branches of the military. they are all going to wear cheap flea market flip flops to adhere to obama's strict "no boots on the ground policy" except that one guy that wears heels...

volkom said: » Is this Vietnam but in the desert? comparable, I suppose. would need to drag on for another 10 or so years though, I think. volkom said: » Is this Vietnam but in the desert? Well most of the hippies are too lazy to protest this. volkom said: » Is this Vietnam but in the desert? The official title is "Vietnam 2 electric boogaloo" we ran out words to put after "desert"
