Kurdish forces, known as peshmerga, stand guard near Mosul Dam at the town of Chamibarakat outside Mosul, Iraq, Sunday, Aug. 17, 2014. Kurdish forces took over parts of the largest dam in Iraq on Sunday less than two weeks after it was captured by the Islamic State extremist group, Kurdish security officials said, as U.S. and Iraqi planes aided their advance by bombing militant targets near the facility.

Back-to-the-future strategy for Iraq?
By Jeanette Steele6:27 p.m.Aug. 23, 2014

American veterans of the Iraq War are talking about a back-to-the-future strategy in Iraq — bringing back retired U.S. military officers who successfully worked with tribes and again dispatching U.S. personnel to advise Iraqi fighters.

It’s a call for an increased U.S. focus on Iraq, as the jihadist army Islamic State gains ground and raises its terror profile via social media, such as broadcasting the beheading of American journalist James Foley.

In San Diego County, Iraqi Christians have expressed horror at the persecution of their relatives there. But the other large San Diego group with ties to Iraq is U.S. military veterans, particularly Camp Pendleton Marines and sailors who served between 2003 and 2011.

They were part of the invasion, fierce battles in Fallujah and Ramadi and the fight for the difficult Sunni Triangle — the area that ultimately shifted momentum in favor of the U.S.

Iraq 3.0 is almost on!

1. Those who fought in the battles of Ramadi and Fallujah?

Those who participated in the Invasion...David Petraeus? We are expected to believe the Iraqi's look on these people as working well with them?

This sounds like propaganda from war mongers. Hard to deal with this kind of crap. Send inthose who oversaw rape and murder of families (Fallujah)? Soldiers who were murdered and burned and hung up on a bridge because of the Blow Back?

Do we need those very people who supervised that back in Iraq? Haven't the Iraqi's suffered enough?
