Iraqi PM Abadi says would consider foreign troop deployment ‘act of aggression’

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Editorial Staff in PoliticsBAGHDAD,— Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on Thursday no foreign ground troops had been requested from any country and that their deployment would be considered an “act of aggression”.
The statement on Abadi’s official Facebook page came after U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren said a new force of around 100 special operations troops would be deployed to assist in the military campaign against Islamic State militants in Iraq.

Iraq’s ruling alliance and powerful Shi’ite militias say Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi would be digging his own political grave and undermining the fight against Islamic State if he permits the deployment of a new U.S. special operations force in the country.Meanwhile U.S. President Barack Obama said his decision to send more U.S. special forces to combat Islamic State in Iraq is not an indication that the United States is headed for another invasion like the one in 2003 that locked it in a long, violent conflict.
Obama has said his strategy to fight the militant group in Iraq and Syria does not include U.S. ground combat troops, but this week, the Pentagon announced it would send a new force of special operations troops.

“When I said no boots on the ground, I think the American people understood generally that we’re not going to do an Iraq-style invasion of Iraq or Syria with battalions that are moving across the desert,” he said in an interview with CBS that aired on Thursday.

“But what I’ve been very clear about is that we are going to systematically squeeze and ultimately destroy ISIL and that requires us having a military component to that,” Obama added, using a common acronym for the militants. The interview was taped on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren said the new force would likely amount to 100, an increase over the 50 announced previously.
The addition is the latest effort to boost U.S. military pressure against Islamic State while also exposing American forces to greater risk.

Obama has only sparingly moved to expose U.S. troops to greater risk in Iraq and Syria, even as he faces ongoing criticism from Republicans on his strategy to combat the militants. Some have called for thousands of additional troops to be deployed to the region, where Islamic State militants control wide swaths of territory......
