Lie Lady Lie

President Obama announced today that the USA is sending another 600 ground troops to Iraq to support the fight against ISIS.  According to the White House spokesman, these troops will include some special forces units who will "engage directly with the ISIL forces."  (For some reason, Obama likes not to use ISIS but to use ISIL instead.)  Oh, and the White House also says that none of these troops will engage in combat.

Let's just stop there.  Our troops will engage directly with the enemy troops, but they won't be in combat.  That's a nonsensical remark that only could come from Obama or Hillary Clinton.  We now have just under 6000 troops in Iraq, but somehow we don't have boots on the ground according to Clinton and the White House.  In the campaign, Hillary says over and over that she won't have American ground forces involved in Iraq, but she still supports Obama in his sending of 6000 troops to fight there.  The lies are coming fast and furiously.

Let's take it one step further though.  At the debate the other night, Hillary Clinton told America that the reason why the USA couldn't leave any troops on the ground in Iraq when she and Obama engineered a total pull out (which led to the birth of ISIS) was that there was no "status of forces" agreement with Iraq that would protect our soldiers.  Here's the truth:  we have nearly 6000 troops in Iraq right now, but there is still no "status of forces" agreement between the USA and Iraq.  In other words, current conditions in Iraq show that Hillary was just telling yet another lie when she said this at the debate.

It has gotten to the point where it is almost a waste of time to point out Hillary's latest lie.  Maybe moving forward, I should point out when Hillary tells the truth.  It will require many fewer posts.
