BAGHDAD (AP) - America's top military leader arrived in Iraq on Saturday on a previously unannounced visit, his first since a U.S.-led coalition began launching airstrikes against the extremist Islamic State group.
The visit by Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, came just two days after he told Congress that the United States would consider dispatching a modest number of American forces to fight with Iraqi troops against the extremist group.
The Iraqi military and security forces, trained by the U.S. at the cost of billions of dollars, melted away in the face of the group's stunning offensive this summer, when it captured most of northern and western Iraq, including the country's second-largest city Mosul.
Dempsey said Thursday that Iraqi forces were doing a better job now, although an effort to move into Mosul or to restore the border with Syria would require more complex operations.
He also told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee that America has a modest force in Iraq now, and that "any expansion of that, I think, would be equally modest."
Obama bots is the first ping because it most accurately describes this POS.
Go here to read his bio en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Dempsey,and it will become immediately clear that he has and has had a political Rabbi in the Dim Party that has advanced his career.
He spent his entire career in Armor until he got a star,and then he was assigned to senior command positions in Special Operations Command,all positions he was and is entirely unqualified by both nature and experience to hold.
You will also read these interesting comments:
Dempsey was born on March 14, 1952, in Jersey City, New Jersey and attended John S. Burke Catholic High School in Goshen, New York, and considers himself to be an Irish American.
One more freaking globalist that doesn't see himself as an American.
As well as the following:
In a memorandum sent on 24 April 2012, Dempsey called for the review of the military education and training curriculum, and ordered military schools to make sure they were not including anti-Islamic themes in training courses.[19] A letter circulated on 9 January 2013 from Dempsey to Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta stated that the armed service chiefs all agreed that “the time has come to rescind the direct combat exclusion rule for women and to eliminate all unnecessary gender-based barriers to service.”[20]
On 26 June 2013, President Barack Obama re-nominated General Dempsey to serve a second two-year term as Chairman.
Is there any doubt he blew Obomber to get the job? There is no way in hell a career tanker could possibly think that women belong in armor units as anything other than support positions. Not one in a thousand has the strength and stamina to do the maintenance and repairs that might have to be made in the field under combat conditions. He was just sticking his tongue up Obombers ass in order to become Joint Chief and guarantee himself a high-paying slot on a corporate board once he retires. It's all about "Me,me,ME,DAMMIT!" with this little weasel,and he doesn't give a damn about the country or the military.
We can only wonder how many American men and women will die under his command if it comes to combat because of this asshat following PC directions from the WH.
