IRAQ NEEDS HELP (WARNING: GRAPHIC PIX)

[HairOfTheDog]

I think Col. John Warden (USAF – Ret.) would be good for this he orchestrated the 1991 Persian gulf conflict and won within 100 hrs.

Colonel Warden is no longer needed, Maggot.

With the discord between Russia and the Ukraine seemingly improving and the Iraq mess surpassing Eastern Europe in terms of global attention and focus..................Vladimir has galloped onto the playing field!!!



Putin is sending 25 fighter planes to Iraq, pronto -- reportedly because Iraqi PM Maliki (who is now on the US shit list and being held accountable for the Sunni insurgency) claimed that his government and army couldn't effectively counter terrorism without the air power and the US wasn't delivering.

Iraqi PM Maliki told the BBC: "I'll be frank and say that we were deluded when we signed the contract with the United States". "Iraq has now turned to Russia and Belarus to buy fighter jets". "God willing, within one week, this force will be effective and will destroy the terrorists' dens."

The US response: U.S. fighter jets have not been slow in coming, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said. The first two promised F-16s "weren't expected to be delivered until the fall, which is still months away," Kirby said. "And we were in the process of working towards that delivery." The advance of an al Qaeda splinter group "couldn't have been stemmed through the use of two particular fighter planes."
