Obama says he will boost US military support in Iraq

WASHINGTON — Facing a deadly resurgence of al-Qaida in Iraq, President Barack Obama signaled Friday that he will begin increasing U.S. military support for Baghdad after five years of reducing it.

The new U.S. plan represents a remarkable shift for Obama, whose administration trumpeted the 2011 withdrawal of the last U.S. troops from Iraq as a major achievement and has since shifted its attention to other regional challenges, such as Syria, Egypt and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

After a White House meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Obama said he shares al-Maliki’s fears about militants’ growing foothold in Iraq’s western province and will join the Iraqi leader’s effort to crack down. Administration officials said this would include growing intelligence support and new weaponry.

“We had a lot of discussion about how we can work together to push back against that terrorist organization that operates not only in Iraq, but also poses a threat to the region and to the United States,” Obama said.

I think you would be amazed at the military power and equipment that was given to the iraq people - probably stripped and sold for scrap now.

Your man in the whitehouse (I will use capitals on the w.h. when he leaves it) is truly going to screw the pooch on this one.

The US of A is not ready to go back and you certainly cannot afford to go back

You folks need to start learning how to say no.

Obama said al-Qaeda has been decimated, Osama bin Laden is dead.

Obama Said, The Benghazi attack was due to a video.

Obama said if you like your insurance and Doctor you can keep them PERIOD.

Obama said he did not know the IRS was targeting his enemies IE Tea Party Groups.

Obama said he did know anything about Fast and Furious.

Obama said he did not know about the DOJ intimidating the press by seizing their records.

Obama said he did not know NSA was snooping on Americans.

Obama said he didn't know the NSA was snooping on the Pope.

Obama said he was going to hold people accountable for all these scandels.

But what Obama does know is how to lie to the American voters, is the t off time at the local golf course, Who is in the Basketball play offs and how to board Air Force one and fly to countless DEMOCRAT FUND RAISERS on the US tax payers dime and let us not forget he knows how to BLAME EVERYONE ELSE FOR HIS FAILED LEADERSHIP. :mad:
