Family: Indiana Soldier Killed In Iraq

Relatives Say Wife, 2 Children In Hawaii

Just to repost this excerpt from my earlier post.....

"On Sunday, U.S. troops joined Iraqi forces to battle seven insurgents attempting to storm an Iraqi army headquarters in downtown Baghdad with bombs and automatic weapons...."

The US pres from Kenya said all over the press that the last combat troops had left Iraq, Mall!

US troops joined Iraqi forces to ****battle***** seven insurgents...?????? Why are non-combat troops doing battle in Iraq, Mall? This is your commander in chief running this military, Mall!

My God...what a failure! US troops abandoned in Iraq by a president for purely political purposes.

The press finally cought on and now see the big lie!

"BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Since President Barack Obama declared an end to combat operations in Iraq, U.S. troops have waged a gun battle with a suicide squad in Baghdad, dropped bombs on armed militants in Baquba and assisted Iraqi soldiers in a raid in Falluja.

Obama's announcement on August 31 has not meant the end of fighting for some of the 50,000 U.S. military personnel remaining in Iraq 7-1/2 years after the invasion that removed Saddam Hussein....

...When they answered a call for help two weeks ago from Iraqi soldiers overwhelmed in a gunfight with militants hiding in a palm grove near Baquba in Diyala province, U.S. troops brought in attack helicopters and F-16 jet fighters..."

There are no combat troops to support or back anyone up that needs it anymore, so the US military has to call air power for support? Brilliant strategy there, Mr. Nobama! The remaining troops are not combat troops, so they were getting killed when trying to respond to combat attacks. Beautiful exit strategy, there! Misson accomplished?
