Why is Barack Obama getting us involved in another war in Iraq? Why won't he admit that we're getting involved in the war in Iraq? Why won't he say, "Yes we're getting involved in Iraq again"?

When you announce that a war is over and you leave the battlefield, and the opposing side does not agree and does not leave the battlefield, you have not ended a war - you have just lost all the gains you achieved with all that money and all those lives.

While I thought attacking Iraq was a disaster, I think we should do everything possible to eradicate ISIS. ISIS doesn't just threaten the Middle East - it threatens everyone.
At this point we, the US, haven't gone to war but we need to do more than we're doing - just my humble opinion.

I don't think he ever said he would never send anyone to Iraq again. He pulled out the combat troops because conservatives demanded it. Now they're demanding that he do something about ISIS. So he's doing something. But he's not sending combat troops--- yet.

He isn't. Read the news. He is sending in these specific people to protect the US embassy in Iraq, not to fight ISIS, but to protect American embassy workers in Iraq. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-sending-350-more-military-personnel-to-iraq/

Because that is not a popular opinion, and Democrats are up for election this fall.
>>Why is Barack Obama getting us involved in another war in Iraq?
Because they are beheading Americans.
