Obama: US lacks ‘complete strategy’ for training Iraqis
ELMAU, Germany (AP) — Acknowledging military setbacks, President Barack Obama said Monday the United States still lacks a “complete strategy” for training Iraqi forces to fight the Islamic State. He urged Iraq’s government to allow more of the nation’s Sunnis to join the campaign against the violent militants. SOURCE
Barack Hussein Obama is the biggest FOOL, as far as military tactics and strategy go, there is NO strategy that will work in Iraq, and Obama can’t accept that.
Obama doesn’t study what happened in Iraq under George W. Bush, he just blames Bush for all the failures of the Obama administration.
As I wrote recently; Defense chief: Iraqis showed no will to fight at Ramadi.
As I have said on numerous occasions on THIS blog; once we are out of Iraq it’s all over but the crying. I predicted that the Iraqis could not and would not stand against ANY invasion, of any kind, and that prediction has, sadly, come to fruition.
Before U.S. troops were out of Iraq our military provided the Iraqi troops with the most up to date fighting techniques and logistical support there was to be found.
Seems to me that the only Iraqis paying attention were the ones that are now a part of ISIS and any other rebel forces that are taking on what is called *The Iraqi Army*.
The Iraqis are a people that will not stand and fight for their country, but they will fight us tooth and nail if we go back to Iraq with the intentions of retaking the nation for Baghdad.
The war in Iraq is NOT our war. No more American lives should be lost in ANY effort to save a nation that is untrainable and too damned apathetic to save itself from an enemy that fights for nothing more than *religious* differences in their violent ideologies with others.
Thanks to the US and Iraqi Army, ISIS now has some of the most sophisticated military equipment for ground warfare. We armed the Iraqis with some of the best stuff we had and they ran, leaving it for ISIS.
We were training the Iraqis for years and they cut and run. Think about it. Five years of training could produce a top notch SEAL, Ranger, or Green Beret but with Iraq, it produced cowards with sophisticated military equipment who threw down their weapons and ran as men in pickup trucks came at them. They willingly died rather than fight.
This is why our airpower is ineffective against ISIS. They won’t give our pilots clearance to shoot.

I watched Bill O tonight and agree in part with what he said about bo. However, the middle east is in turmoil because there is no nationality. They are all from different tribes and our elites seem to think that these people think the way we do. They do not and they never will. Islam is the thread that binds them all together and the fight is between the different flavors of islam. Remember this has only been going on for 1400 years and these thing take time. I believe that there is a plan and our government is following it just fine. One world order here we come.
Fred, as I replied to Bob F, I think WE THE PEOPLE are being played. This has been going on for too long for it to be anything other than a plan to take our attention from more dastardly doings. Crisis after crisis after crisis. We are about to lose a portion of our soverignty to a multinational commission that will regulate our economy. Fast track and the TPP are nothing but another scam to benefit the world’s elites and we the citizen are being pissed on again. Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s only rain. Both houses of congress are in on this and I can’t see a solution to this problem. bo is only the license plate on this bus.
What of the 1000 shoulder fired missiles that Hussein has planned to give ISIS???? I mean Iraqi cub scouts…
another brilliant move..unless it’s been canceled…
I just believe this was what BHO wanted all along..to assist ISIS…he is doing a great job..
You can see it too.
Training Iraqis’? Don’t expect potty training…wiping your ass with a bare left hand or with three stones to progress any further. Well, maybe lick one’s fingers clean. Progress for progressives.
