So who really thought that there wouldn't be boots on the ground?

1500 troops to report ISIS locations. Stay tuned.

1500 "advisers" I love the wording. The last time I checked "advice" does not take 1500 heavily armed men to do. Cut the bullshit and call them soldiers, They are going in there to open the door for more SOLDIERS to go in. Oh wait that's the part we are not meant to be thinking about yet.

What a fucking pantomime.

Without 100 000 no peace in Iraq and Sirya..

Oh fking great. I'm so glad we pulled out and left Iraq for ISIS. My friends died for nothing. RIP Nelson, Salem, Lewis. Rock of the Marne.

So there is already a Cold War 2.0 and now I find out there might be an Iraq 2.0? wtf !!!

[sirk]

[HilarityBribo]

still fighting the zionists' wars for them eh?

[cynthiae]

Here comes World War Three and the end of civilization as we know it. Maybe we should just try to continue to contribute to the education of the world rather then the fighting. Lets continuously drop a bunch of books on these countries instead of bombs. Books in the language of the people.Everyone already knows how powerful everyone is so how about we quit the fighting before everyone is dead and everybody just chill. How about we do what ISIL can't do? LAUGH. LOVE. ENJOY PEACE. HAPPINESS. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY. LIVE.
