Media: Washington may send additional forces to Iraq




According to the newspaper, today there are 4,4 thousand American military in Iraq.

If the US government approves the Pentagon’s initiative, “an additional military group along with the Iraqi army and the international coalition forces to combat IS will carry out preparations for the operation to seize Mosul,” the newspaper writes.

As previously stated in the military, the operation to free the city from terrorists should begin in mid-October.

"US President Barack Obama has not yet been acquainted with the initiative," - said WSJ.

Recall the second largest Iraqi city of Mosul was under the control of the IG in 2014. This week, government forces surrounded the city of Shergat, located in 100 km south of Mosul.

    And what can the 500 marines change there? If Daesh will fight seriously - there will be many coffins under the striped flags.

      Yes, and to hell with them. These are their problems and let them get out. Iraq is entirely on their conscience. The main thing is not to let them in Syria do what they want.

      How is that? To die heroically. "The tree of freedom must be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants, this is a natural fertilizer for it." Thomas Jefferson laughing

        What do you think, they will take Mosul there with a gun for the edge? Well, why do they need it, but to show presence, then as much as you like. America will bravely fight to the last Iraqi soldier. angry

    Sooner or later, we will have to mess up the mess there too. Just not like in Syria. Negotiate with normal leaders and strike without entering.

    Again, the US Marine Corps is "clearing up the mess" once brewed by scoundrels and idiots from the State Department and the CIA. But it may get bored

      As the same Pendejo say "It is wishful thinking". The actions of the USMC and other librarians are nothing more than a continuation of the policy of the State Department.

    As I understand it, no one asks a black puppet in the United States, and the opinion of Iraq seems to be of no interest to anyone.
