F eeding more American troops into Iraq little by little is an invitation to disaster, yet President Barack Obama persists in the practice.

Obama vowed U.S. military involvement in Iraq was over in December 2011.

But Islamic terrorists have conquered much of the country since then.

In June 2014, he sent 170 Army advisers to Iraq. Since then, that force has been augmented in small groups. Recently, another 217 advisers were deployed, bringing the total to about 4,000.

Small U.S. military units are vulnerable. Some attacks already have been made by the terrorists.

They is reason to believe that more may follow.

Obama should realize that there is a danger in sending only a small numbers of troops. It affords the enemy an opportunity to exploit the situation – perhaps with bloody, tragic results.
