Americans used to laugh at the bereted Iraqi Information Minister screaming, “I triple guarantee you, there are no American soldiers in Baghdad”, even while they could be seen moving into the city.
Now Baghdad Bob’s rhetoric has been transplanted over from Baghdad to Washington D.C.
Last year, Obama said, “I want to be clear: the American forces that have been deployed to Iraq do not and will not have a combat mission.” A good way to get stinking drunk is to drink a shot every time Obama precedes a blatant lie with an “I want to be clear.” And this time was no different.
The year before that he told the American people, “I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria.”
No word on whether soldiers in the "Specialized Expeditionary Targeting Force" will be wearing sandals or slippers as they carry out raids into Syria to free hostages and capture ISIS terrorists.
Obama had assured Americans that the mission “will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.” Did he annex Syria and Iraq as new states while Congress was in recess?
Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton recently said that putting troops on the ground is a “non-starter”. She told CBS that she “cannot conceive of any circumstances where I would agree to do that.” Then she condemned Republicans for calling for “thousands of combat troops”.
As opposed to the 3,000 that were sent there under Obama.
But officially there are no American soldiers in Iraq. There are American advisers in Iraq. Democrats send thousands of heavily armed advisers. It’s the Republicans who are crude enough to send soldiers. Republicans start wars. Democrats have police actions, peacekeeping missions and weekend retreats.
