Obama Considers Using ‘Special Forces’ in Iraq
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Worthy News)– U.S. President Obama met with Congressional leaders on Wednesday to discuss U.S. military options in Iraq, including the use of Special Forces.
White House officials stress that several options remain on the table and no decision has been made. But the president reportedly has, for now, ruled out using airstrikes against the Al Qaeda-inspired Sunni Muslim insurgency that has seized vast swaths of territory in the north and west of Iraq.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the concern is that U.S. commanders lack sufficient intelligence to determine clear battlefield targets.
A senior official told Fox News that the president instead appears to be leaning toward sending roughly 100 special forces into the region. Such a contingent presumably would be sent to help train the Iraqi military and boost intelligence available to the Iraqis. — Source
