U.S. may open 'fire bases' to help Iraqi troops retake Mosul - UPI.com
UPI reports: "The United States could increase the number of fire support bases in
Iraq in continued efforts to help the Iraqi security forces recapture
the city of Mosul.
Fire support bases are temporary military camps used to provide
artillery fire in support of ground troops. Iraq launched a significant
offensive recently to retake Mosul, Iraq's second largest city that was
seized by the Islamic State in June 2014."
Comment: So, in other words, American military personnel are fighting in Iraq...but not really. No boots on the ground. No new authorization to use military force (AUMF). We have still officially withdrawn from Iraq. Just acting in a support capacity, lending a helping hand, that's all. Nothing to see here. Move along.
