U.S. troops prevented from helping even as al Qaeda overruns Iraqi cities

[Jeff]

I am posting this more for the fact of this is exactly what most said would happen when we pulled our troops from the region as for letting our troops help them I am not sure I would like to see us get involved again but in no way should we of pulled the troops.



The U.S. has inserted 200 troops in Iraq (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/iraq/) since 2012, but they cannot directly help the Iraqi military (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/iraqi-military/) repel a surge of al Qaeda (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/al-qaeda/) fighters, even as the country succumbs to sectarian violence and insurgents claim control of two key cities.On Sunday, at least 20 people were killed in bombings in Baghdad and 34 others in fighting in the western province of Anbar, where Iraqi troops were trying to oust insurgents who had laid claim to the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah.
