Obama: The U.S. Won't Send Troops Back Into Combat In Iraq
President Barack Obama made a statement Friday on the growing rebellion in Iraq, saying "we will not be sending U.S. troops back into combat."
Obama noted that the threat from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, "is not solely or even primarily a military challenge," though he called ISIL a "vicious organization."
"This poses a danger to Iraq and its people, and given the nature of these terrorists, it could pose a threat eventually to American interests, as well," Obama said.
The president said he has asked his national security team to provide a range of options on how the U.S. can help, but he said it's up to the people of Iraq "as a sovereign nation" to solve the problems.
"The U.S. will do our part. But understand that ultimately it's up to the Iraqis, as a sovereign nation, to solve their problems," Obama said.
"Nobody's going to benefit from seeing Iraq descend into chaos," Obama added. -
America no longer has the moral authority nor the money to go back. The Democrats lack the political will to return.
This is a religious war, not a good guy bad guy war.
Ironic isn't it, that America looks back now with fondness at the days when Saddam ruled the nation.Comment
