US Boots on the ground in Iraq - Iraq Crisis

The White House: Has released the following Statement, " Today, consistent with the War Powers Resolution, the President transmitted a report notifying the Congress that up to approximately 275 U.S. military personnel are deploying to Iraq to provide support and security for U.S. personnel and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.  The personnel will provide assistance to the Department of State in connection with the temporary relocation of some staff from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to the U.S. Consulates General in Basra and Erbil and to the Iraq Support Unit in Amman.  These U.S. military personnel are entering Iraq with the consent of the Government of Iraq.  The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad remains open, and a substantial majority of the U.S. Embassy presence in Iraq will remain in place and the embassy will be fully equipped to carry out its national security mission.  "

Lets Get Real:

As noted last night in my tweet, these US Soldiers are boots on the ground, whatever you call them, they are there to defend the US Embassy and Embassy staff, they could become a prime targets for the ISIS terrorists, thus in essence President Obama is reversing his decision of 2011 to remove troops from Iraq.   Lets get basic here, if Baghdad falls then the US and the West has even bigger problems, a terrorist group that would control Iraq's oil and have a presence in Syria.    The US will need US Special Forces on the ground to back up any air bombing by the US, they do not want to hit the innocent people of Iraq, the Obama Administration can call the returning troops whatever they want, it is still boots on the ground.
