Video: Iraq - 500 more US Troops to deploy in "not Buuuuush's war"


Remember THIS?


H/T Hot Air who has more to say here.

Despite that, most of us paying attention have been well aware that there has been US Troops in Iraq all along, and are so not surprised by this latest announcement.

Now today comes this from One Marine's View:

82nd Airborne &10th Mtn Div to deploy to Iraq


There was a time when some Americans bashed President Bush for the war in Iraq. Then there was nothing but self-praise about how this president ended the war in Iraq. Sad and full of deception. Now as you can see, America is going back to Iraq again and behind the power curve which will have to be repaid once again in American lives. Looks like everything this president has said is everything but what is right for America. Time for a C-Gar

About 500 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division will deploy this summer to Iraq and other locations in the region to support Operation Inherent Resolve.

About 1,250 soldiers from the 10th Mountain Division will deploy to Iraq later this year, officials said Monday.

The soldiers from the division's 1st Brigade Combat Team will deploy in August or September, said Maj. Josh Jacques, a spokesman for the division.There was a time when some Americans bashed President Bush for the war in Iraq.

There is more here.  GO read.

Maybe  Hillary Clinton will be caught in her Scooby bus long enough to ask for her opinion in this latest development in "not Buuuush's war".

Don't hold your breath.

Americans out of touch: MUST READ!

From One Marine's View a very important, timely, reminder:

Americans out of touch


311d172b-2831-48ca-9703-ed28c835df04-big

It started out as “US twin-rotor Chinook helicopter crash 16-31 killed in Wardak province Afg” -no confirmation that it was enemy fire #military 30 hours ago” That was my tweet @TheMajPain as I began to hear the news through different sources. Tragic and now there are several dozen mothers, wives, and kids missing a part of their lives. This event is terrible and is never easy to take but this is the exact way I feel whenever I lose even one Marine. This is the way I feel when I sit with a pen and piece of paper in front of me as I gather my thoughts in a letter to their wife or to their parents. I’ve written too many of those letters. It never is easy...
