IS Update Part 3 - War on Terror 2

Telegraph: Reports " The Pentagon said Mr Obama had approved plans to send an additional 1,500 soldiers to Iraq on top of the 1,400 already deployed on a mission to train and support the country's military. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus what is the outcome of the increase troops to Iraq, the WARS in Syria and Iraq now belong to President Obama, in many respects Obama is becoming the modern LBJ, his poll ratings falling at home, the WARS in a far place, there being no easy out, the Republicans are gaining due to the Obama failure at home.   As stated in previous post the Oval wants to hand over the WARS to his successor, the problem with that is that IS have a say, what if they move the fight to Jordan and Lebanon,  this would force the US to take on IS on the battle field.    As many have stated, the air power alone strategy will not work, either due to outside events or reality getting through the White House bubble the Oval will face the fact that US troops have to get in to the trenches, its just a matter of when, that is the fate of THE WARS in Iraq and Syria, either the Obama Oval will understand the fact or his successor will get that fact. 

IS Update Part 2 - War on Terror 2

Guardian: Reports " Obama doubles US troop levels in Iraq for war against Isis...Pledge to avoid ‘boots on the ground’ strained as 1,500 additional US troops ordered to Iraq to bolster Iraqi and Kurdish forces fighting Islamic State "

Lets Get Real:

One would have to be a naive fool not to understand the direction of US policy in Iraq and Syria, the Oval by its actions has made it clear that it will not lose Iraq and Syria to IS, losing Syria to Assad is another matter.   That is the problem with the Middle East, your never sure who are your allies or enemies for the long term.    The Oval will face a choice sooner or later, and knowing the luck of Obama it will be sooner, will it fight in Iraq and Syria, the sending of another one thousand five hundred troops makes the Obama legacy stuck with Iraq and Syria.   The decision to leave Iraq in 2011 with no US troops was a massive mistake, the result was IS, this time President Obama can not afford to lose, his legacy is on the line, thus expect more troops to be sent to the Middle East. 

IS Update - War on Terror 2

BBC News: Reports " The US is to send 1,500 more non-combat troops to Iraq to boost Iraqi forces fighting Islamic State (IS) militants, the White House says. "

Lets Get Real:

At last the US doing the right thing, the WAR in Iraq and Syria requires US ground troops, it does not matter what the Oval calls them, in the Vietnam day they were called military advisors, the Iraq forces need the backbone of US troops.   The Wars in Syria and Iraq will take years, it will be bloody and messy, that will happen after 2017, President Obama wants to keep the War low key while he is on office.   The REAL War will take place with the successor of President Obama, that could be Secretary Hillary Clinton, or Jeb Bush.   The Oval Office does not want the legacy that it left Iraq to early and had to go back, it wants that to be on the desk of his successor.   More troops will be sent to Iraq, its matter of connecting the dots.
