ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – An Iraqi militia claimed on Friday that they had “prevented” US troops from conducting a field patrol in a northern suburb of Mosul, but a security source and witnesses at the scene said US troops completed their patrol despite the armed group's actions.

The incident – or lack thereof, depending on the source – came one day after the Iraqi Ministry of Defense rejected recent Iraqi media reports claiming that the US-led international coalition against the Islamic State had increased its number of troops in the country.

Honestly, this story and the other one just posted:

Both seem to belie some tension and are a bit extraordinary.

Time for U.S. troops to GET OUT OF Iraq.

Let them "patrol" their own sh**hole streets.

I'll say it again, the Christians there lived better before the 2003 invasion, Obama withdrew troops and ISIS rose to power, much more persecution for Christians if not near extinction and they aren't in good shape as it is. I'm not for abandoning these people who have lived in that region for 2000 years and may not have been put in such a predicament without various actions by the US.

Then push for other countries to give the Christians a home instead of the vermin mulsims. It's past time for our young men to come home and quit dying in someone else's F'ng religious war. No more American blood and dollars.
