Obama just announced that 275 service members will be deployed to Iraq to secure the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. He said they will remain there until "becomes such that they are no longer needed".
My question is this, what do you think will happen if any of these 275 are hurt or killed providing this security?

Or as I would say "What does any of this bullshit have to do with the United States?" 275 (probably Recon Marines) who will go and tear shit up and help out, until some politician that is looking to run for office soon thinks "shit this is going to be MY ticket" and we're right back to where we started! No money, no moral, no support, no end in sight, and nothing but more spending, more deployments and less allies.....

what did me in was "What difference does it make". We do not need another progressive in the white house. We need a Reagan conservative to deal with these folks.
We also need a STRONG military where our troops of all branches are properly equipped.

LtCol Garret Whiteside I couldn't agree with you more sir. We need leaders in the White House that has a spine, and one that knows foreign policy and how to execute it.
The weakening of our military by the POTUS and Congress is not the policy for national security.

While its good that we are providing security for embassy employees (this time), what happened to "no more troops overseas" with this and the attempts at extending our time in Afghanistan?
I don't like sending more troops to Iraq as the last time the White House crew was in charge of an embassy it was attacked and then lied about / forgotten about. I would rather we just abandon our embassies in countries that will continue to kill due to someone's religious beliefs and chalk it up as a lost cause.

To answer your question SGT Keen, probably nothing. I personally think they should evacuate the embassy. If the insurgents decide they want to storm the embassy, there is not a lot of help outside it's walls to hold them back.
The question is, do the insurgents have enough courage to engage in a bloody firefight. Obama is a weak president, and if anything happens to the service members or embassy staff, I am sure the story will change several times, and we still won't know the truth.

In that case, 275 is just feeding their appetite. I still think an evacuation is the best way to go then bomb the place once we're gone rendering it useless.

LTC Paul Labrador - You are right why wouldn't the insurgents risk everything to capture Americans. They make trades 5 for 1 plus some WAM.
