I sure hope that all the armchair warriors saying we need "boots on the ground" with the 10-to-1 ratio of 300,000 for their 31,000
will look at this attack and realize that might not be the best solution.
We can use special forces to find bad guys. We can send local miltary to face them (and incur the losses) and we can use our air power fo waste them.
But does anyone here STILL want to send 18-year old americans into that shithole to try to "root out" terrorists?
You have the syrian govt using poison gas. You have the rebels beheading people, and you have the ISIS, the rebel-rebels, setting off carbombs to finish off those not killed with poison gas. AND YOU WANT U.S. BOOTS ON THE GROUND? WTF?
There comes a time when you realize all 3 elements in an area aren't to be helped. You back out, let them fight, then you fck up the winner.
Iraqi Member of Parliament Ali al-Bredi has claimed that Islamic State (IS) militants are using Chlorine gas against Iraqi soldiers in Fallujah.
In a press conference on Monday, al-Bredi revealed that IS have killed 300 Iraqi soldiers with chlorine gas.
He said that the militants deployed the gas in the Siqiliya area located of northern Fallujah, a city in Anbar province, about 70 km from the capital of Iraq, Baghdad.
“Responsibility for this lies with Iraqi PM Haidar Abadi and the commander of the forces in Anbar as they failed to rescue the soldiers,” said al-Bredi.
Expanding on the circumstances surrounding the attack, al-Bredi said, “After the insurgents surrounded the Iraqi soldiers, they used chlorine gas to suffocate them before detonating a car bomb, resulting in the death of 300 out of 400 soldiers.”
Al-Bredi also said that before the crime was committed, the soldiers asked for an urgent rescue mission, but were ignored.
Furthermore, on Sunday, US Secretary of State John Kerry also reiterated US concern over the use of chlorine gas against civilians in Syria and warned President Bashar al-Assad’s regime that it would be held to account.
