Obama announces 275 US troops WILL be sent to Iraq to protect American embassy in Baghdad days after saying they would not return…
President Obama SAYS US ground troops ‘equipped for combat’ are being sent to Iraq – just days after claiming that no American soldiers would be SENT to the war-torn country. ….
Obama said that their only purpose will be to protect U.S. personnel and the embassy in Baghdad – and not to join in the fierce fighting raging outside the Iraqi capital.
The brutal rampage across Iraq by radical Sunni militia has led to an unlikely allegiance between the U.S. and Iran as they prepare for talks on the crisis.
The Obama administration has announced plans to open talks with Tehran this week to find a way to stop the rapid spread of the ISIS – Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria.
The announcement came as shocking images emerged on Saturday, that showed members of ISIS executing about 1,400 Iraqi men.
