News came across the wires yesterday that the US was sending more troops to Iraq to protect the embassy and its staff…..I may be nit-picking here but….did we not already do this?  I mean a month or so ago we sent about 500 troops to Iraq to protect our embassy and its staff….and now this……

(Newser) – The US is adding 350 more troops to help protect the American Embassy in Baghdad and its support facilities in the Iraqi capital, raising the number of US forces in the country to over 1,000, officials say. President Obama approved the additional troops for protection of American personnel following a request by the State Department and a review and recommendation by the Department of Defense, the White House said in a statement.

The additional troops will not serve in a combat role, the White House said. Most are from the Army and some are Marines. Around 820 troops have now been assigned to augment diplomatic security in Iraq, the Pentagon says, and the US has carried out 124 airstrikes against ISIS militants, the latest taking place near Mosul Dam on Monday. The strike involved fighters and attack aircraft that damaged or destroyed 16 armed vehicles, according to Central Command.

Sounds like a pretense for adding more and more troops, all under the guise of ‘protecting’ Americans…….after Benghazi it seems to be the perfect excuse to use more and more American troops…..

Another issue to be aware of is that the US is spending about $75 million a day right now and that figure will continue to rise as we become more and more involved………..

Americans need to be aware of what is happening under their very noses and they are being compliant……yes, you are allowing the war hawks to do it again…..involve US Troops in the Middle East.

How far are you willing to let the war hawks go?
