Time to dust off Hagels and the administration old line of

There will be NO boots on the ground in Iraq
There will be boots on the ground but not armed combat troops
There will only be advisors on the ground in Iraq

Oh crap, we had to give them some guns to ward off combat attacks.


Pinnochios nose should be out about 3 feet now.

A pony lover. We broke Iraq, no denying it. To leave it as it falls to a band of lunatics who would not even exist for the fact that we broke Iraq, would be immoral.

Of course there will be some guys over there to help. That is just the way the ball bounces.

Obama is playing this hand as best as it can be played.

Nice try, you lose.

Good thinking.

Yes, there needs to be 'guys' over there to help
Yes, the hand dealt needs to be played as is

BUT

You do NOT have to lie through your teeth as you send the 'guys' to get killed by telling
Mom and Dad that they will be non combatant teachers and advisors.
Everyone saw through it and called them on it every time more troops were sent.

Hagels gone, but he left a mess.

When we removed our troops from Iraq he said they would be close at hand and could be brought back into Iraq if things got out of hand..

Because I seem to recall a comment about no boots on the ground. But, I'm sure I heard incorrectly.
