There was a U.S. airstrike southwest of Baghdad today, a new area of operations for U.S. fighter aircraft, ABC News has learned.

But this isn't an indicator of expanded airstrikes in Iraq, a U.S. official told ABC News.

A request was received from the Iraqis to provide air support for an Iraqi unit that was engaged in a firefight with fighters with the Islamic militant group ISIS, the official said.

An aircraft was re-directed and conducted a strike to support the Iraqi ground troops, the official said.

The U.S. Central Command, or CentComm, is expected to detail the attack later today.

That's what happens when you want Gold for your oil instead of caving to the petrodollar racket - you get saddam'd, khaddaffi'd....why are they trying to do whatever in syria? pipeline.


every bit of these wars are about geopolitical fuckery of resources, and shitting in your own house (while securing another residence for yourself and hell with everyone else in the house)

the wars are because financing is completely threadbare. get the resources now while you can and stay on the top of the sand pile, even if your load was shot 30 some odd years ago.... everyone else dont know that, so keep acting like it...
