More Obama stupidity in Iraq

So, we have an Apache attack helo unit at BiAP (Baghdad International Airport),
yet the COWH has deemed it unnecessary to also include a CSAR (combat search and rescue unit) there as well for the crews going into harms way. This is almost treasonous. Why isn't this a priority, especially now that we are recognizing the fact that ISIS has been using MANPADs against Iraqi air assets? This makes no sense at all. You don't fly missions in a denied/hostile area without CSAR in place.
The closest friendly area is Kuwait to the south with Camp Arifjan as a main staging area for our troops. You are talking a couple of hours to get the ball rolling for CSAR to make it from Arifjan to anywhere we are dealing with ISIS. Unfreakingbelieveable !!!!

I've spent a lot of time at BiAP and to the northwest at Balad. It's a hellhole and place full of suck. It's like the COWH just doesn't care.

Hope none of you have relatives there serving

The left wants to ignore obama's latest military intervention. This isn't new... obama was arming them well before this.

It is a colossal clusterfuck, no doubt. I hope is serves as a stark reminder of what happens when we have a republican president, republican house, and republican senate. This is a quagmire that, unfortunately, will keep on giving for years to come.

In the aftermath of the attack, Wolf said he was contacted by people closely tied with CIA operatives and contractors who wanted to talk.

Then suddenly, there was silence.

“Initially they were not afraid to come forward. They wanted the opportunity, and they wanted to be subpoenaed, because if you’re subpoenaed, it sort of protects you, you’re forced to come before Congress. Now that’s all changed,” said Wolf.

Lawmakers also want to know about the weapons in Libya, and what happened to them.

Speculation on Capitol Hill has included the possibility the U.S. agencies operating in Benghazi were secretly helping to move surface-to-air missiles out of Libya, through Turkey, and into the hands of Syrian rebels.

It is clear that two U.S. agencies were operating in Benghazi, one was the State Department, and the other was the CIA.

The State Department told CNN in an e-mail that it was only helping the new Libyan government destroy weapons deemed “damaged, aged or too unsafe retain,” and that it was not involved in any transfer of weapons to other countries.

But the State Department also clearly told CNN, they “can’t speak for any other agencies.”

The CIA would not comment on whether it was involved in the transfer of any weapons.

News flash! The war in Iraq was declared over in 2011... We shouldn't even be there so this is all on Obama and the Dems.

We won and were out victorious. Due to semi-retired President Obama's total ineptness, and arrogance simply proves what he himself said. That he was not ready to be president. He continues to prove his own point.

We won and were out victorious.

Yes in about three weeks. However, we had the snot kicked out of us in the ten year occupation.

Tell that to the Mahdi Army that we eliminated at Fallujah. Tell that to the people we whupped at Ramadi. If anything, the Shia has no ability to fight ISIS because we whipped the hell out of them for the entire time we were there. You are one disillusioned idiot.
