US Ground Troops for Iraq Mission - Iraq Crisis

The New York Times: Reports " A senior White House official said on Wednesday that the United States would consider using American ground troops to assist Iraqis in rescuing Yazidi refugees if recommended by military advisers assessing the situation. "

Lets Get Real:

This is typical of Democratic spin, the troops would not fight IS, but should the troops come come under attack from IS they would defend themselves, thus the Obama Administration IF it is clever, one has doubts should use this odd logic to get more troops on the ground, the Oval can call them what ever it wants, fire monitors if it likes, the US has to push back IS before the old Iraq finds itself in the bin, the Oval needs to let lose a massive covert action against IS.   The Kurds and the Baghdad  Government need room to recover and then take the fight to IS.  This will be a long WAR, and US election cycles do not matter, that might be a surprise to the Oval and Washington D.C. 

The ROT that is ObamaCare - 2nd Term Blues

CNN - Politics: Reports " Over 300,000 individuals who enrolled in a healthcare plan through the Affordable Care Act could lose their coverage come the end of September if they fail to provide the proper documentation demonstrating legal residency.. "

Lets Get Real:

This shows how much of a mess OBAMACARE is, what is more troubling is the FACT that the Oval plans to bailout the health insurance companies, the US Government has to take the word of the companies how much they have lost since ObamaCare came in to force, if no Government bailout then millions could find that their insurance company goes down the toilet.   In essence ObamaCare means that the US Government controls the health of millions of Americans, God forbid that Ebola reaches the US, will the Obama Administration look at the medical records of US citizens to see who does not drink, who eats the right food, and through taxes look at who gives to liberal groups, thus they get the preventive drugs against Ebola, you might think that is far fetched, would you have thought that a few years ago that the NSA bugged you and the World.    That is how scary ObamaCare is for the US. 

The Clintons vs Obamas - 2016 Campaign

Telegraph: Reports the following, " Hilary denies criticising Barack Obama's policy towards Iraq and Syria after appearing to distance herself from the US President ahead of a likely bid to replace him in 2016 "

Lets Get Real: 

The Clinton's might be worried that if Hillary goes to quick to the center of US politics there might be a challenge on the left, also a sitting US President can either help or hurt the 2016 nominee, at the moment President Obama's polls are not great, but it should be recalled that Obama is from Chicago, the White House and Democrats have already gone on the attack that Republicans have a WAR ON WOMEN, that if the Republicans take the Senate they could impeach President Obama for the various political scandals of his administration.    Thus POTUS might cut a real deal with Iran over its nuclear plans, the Democrats could pull fast one and take the House, thus Obama could push through his Agenda.    The Clinton's do no like to lose, thus they will put out this brush fire, but in the General Election expect the Clinton's to dump on Obama from on high if that what it takes to win in 2016. 

Iraq Update 2 - Middle East Crisis

Guardian - Iraq Live: Reports the following, " In a sign of Britain’s growing involvement in Iraq the prime minister also confirmed that British forces would also play a leading role in airlifting Yazidi refugees from Mount Sinjar. Chinook helicopters deployed to the region are expected to join a US-led operation in the coming days to airlift the refugees.

The RAF will be flying in Soviet-era weapons from former Warsaw pact countries in eastern Europe to the Kurds who are trained in the use of weapons which originated from the Soviet Union. The Kurds have not requested British weapons. "

Lets Get Real:

The PM might be on a winning strategy with keeping British support at its most basic, helping those stuck on Mount Sinjar and letting the US be the airforce for the Kurds and making sure the Kurds have the right weapons to fight IS.   A recent UK poll it should support for the UK taking action, how long would that last if something goes wrong, a Jet, or a helicopter goes wrong, or the SAS are caught by the IS.   Public opinion can change in a second. all those that want the UK to take military action will change when its British deaths that are been reporting on the 24/7 news.   Thus good for the UK to take a background role, let the US and the French take the major risks, about time the French did some heroics, its not something they are known for, lets ge honest HERE. 

Iraq Update - Iraq Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Britain will "play a role" in an international mission to rescue stranded Yazidi refugees in Iraq, Prime Minister David Cameron has said. "

Lets Get Real:

The Coalition PM David Cameron is playing it safe after the failure of the Syria vote last year, lets see what the other political parties, say, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have been very quiet, let them call for UK to take part in the air strikes against IS, then the PM can say he will following the will of House of Commons.   This might sound a bit heartless, and it is, politics is politics at the end of the day, why should PM Cameron take the political risk when the other leaders have not made a major statement on the IS and the threat to various minority  religious groups in Iraq.    The British with the US and France are doing the best they can, no one wants to put troops on the ground in Iraq, it will have to happen, it just depends on who goes to far, and who is willing to risk their political career on action in Iraq.
