US spokesman in Iraq: 'Of course it's combat'
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
US spokesman in Iraq: 'Of course it's combat' | 29 Oct 2015 | U.S. troops in Iraq are in combat. That's what the Baghdad-based spokesman for the American-led, anti-Islamic State coalition told reporters Wednesday. Pentagon officials have hesitated to label the role of U.S. forces against the militants in Iraq and Syria as combat in the week since Army Master Sgt. Joshua L. Wheeler was killed in a firefight during a raid on an Islamic State prison compound outside of Hawijah in the Kirkuk province. But Army Col. Steve Warren, the spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve, was more direct Wednesday, speaking with reporters at the Pentagon through video conference. “We're in combat,” Warren said of the roughly 3,500 U.S. troops in Iraq.
