Once again the U.S. has the democratically elected Assad government squarely in the crosshairs.
Once again the U.S. has the democratically elected Assad government squarely in the crosshairs.
Speaking on the ABC's This Week program yesterday, US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Martin Dempsey suggested US troops would be needed on the frontline in Iraq. He pointed in particular to the likelihood of a "decisive battle" to recapture the northern city of Mosul, which fell to ISIS militias in June. "My instinct at this point is that will require a different kind of advising and assisting because of the complexity of that fight," he said.
Dempsey made similar comments last month declaring that if he believed US military advisers needed to accompany Iraqi troops into combat, he would advise President Obama accordingly. The statements put the top US general at odds with the White House. National Security Adviser Susan Rice told NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday: "We are not going to be in a ground war again in Iraq."
Comment: Incredible that the U.S., knowing that Russia and Iran will not stand for aggression against Syria and the Democratically elected Assad, is once again trying to find even more underhanded ways to attack. This is pathology demonstrated on the world-scale and can only lead to things getting far worse in the Middle East. But the U.S. and allied psychopaths excel at this.
