US signals it is open to sending more troops to support NATO's mission in Iraq
(CNN) The Pentagon opened the door to the possibility of sending more American troops to the Middle East as part of a newly expanded NATO training mission to support Iraqi forces and ensure that ISIS does not rise again.
"The US is participating in the force generation process for NATO Mission Iraq and will contribute its fair share to this important expanded mission," Pentagon spokesperson Cmdr. Jessica L. McNulty told CNN. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke about the mission with his NATO counterparts during a meeting with defense ministers on Thursday.
Booooorrrrring. US involved with NATO again, big deal. It’s what most of us want.
No it isn't
Did Biden run on this?
Nope
You're a bootlicker who follows your party line
He didn’t have to run on it. He ran on returning competence to the White House and in foreign affairs. Active membership in global organizations such as NATO among others is part of that deal. It’s what was voted for and again, most of us wanted to happen.
In 2011 they elected to pull out of Iraq two months early. I was oversaw the units that were training Iraqi military units and we had to scramble to get them out at the beginning of November instead of January. That was an Obama decision, not a Trump decision.
