Oil spill and Iraq combat over, Obama takes break - Yahoo! News

UserRemoved1 08-20-2010 08:01 AM

BOY they're really milking this end of combat bullshat. Sounds to me like someone really wants to make this turd sound REAAAALLY good...

Bring the other 50k home and I'll acknowledge you did something. :smash:

spence 08-20-2010 08:39 AM

That story doesn't quote anyone talking about the exit of combat troops from Iraq.

Who's milking what again?

The headline sure does Spence :wave:

And so does the second line... "The Gulf oil leak is plugged. The last combat troops are out of Iraq. And Congress is on its own summer break."

ALL THE HARD WORK IS DONE. The world is saved.

FITTING...

This is what happens when you consider an editorial as journalism. All of this is the opinion of one "reporter".

I'll tell you what, the one thing this guy does well it schedule time off for himself. He is very well versed at grabbing a quick 18 holes or sending/taking the family on vacation. A man of leisure.

So what your saying is we can't relieve the troops that are already there? I think scheduled deployments and rotations will still continue, just not for combat operations.

Point was it's combat forces going in again. Not the continued WITHDRAWAL of troops.

The Dad Fisherman 08-26-2010 08:09 AM

“It’s funny because the big thing on the news as we were getting ready to leave was all the big hoopla about all the combat forces coming out, so all the soldiers and their families are asking, ‘Why are we going?’” Lt. Col. Bryan Mullins said.

“Well, we said it was the difference between the guys whose job it is to fight versus guys whose primary job it is to help people, or secure people, who are doing something else,” he said.

“So we are combat arms soldiers — I’m a tanker, we’ve got other tankers and artillery. But our job in Iraq is primarily going to be to training Iraqi security forces, cops, the [Iraqi] army, the border forces — they’ve got huge border forces,” he said.

“We haven’t been able to pay a whole lot of attention to those over the first six years because we were too busy doing other stuff,” he said. “So now, on the back end of the mission, we’re going to spend a whole lot more time and energy on that.”

The unit also will provide security for U.S. State Department personnel while in the Middle East, he said.

“They’re going to go out and work with the local government, so we’re going to go out and secure them while they work so nothing happens during the meetings, during the trainings that they do,” he said.

“So it’s going to be lots of advising and supporting, with the distinction being that this is not a combat thing. We’re not focused on that. We don’t go out looking for bad guys or IEDs [improvised explosive devices],” he said.

I'm no Obama fan but weekends at Camp David have historically been working weekends.

I just hope they didn't redecorate their too :devil2:.

You should really focus on the Drudge Report as your main source of news...Much more exciting...

I've read the Drudge Report twice as many times as I've read Huffington, about 2. I prefer NYT, WP, Atlantic, AT, MSNBC, and gasp Communist News Network, and groups of other sources ranging from Danger Room to The Belmont Club.

What are your top 5?
