…In Iraq?. "On the heels of President Obama's announcement that up to 300 U.S. military advisers will be sent to Iraq to help combat the threat from a Sunni terror group, an awkward question was raised: What happens if the U.S. troops, many of them Special Forces, run into Iranian soldiers who are reportedly already in Iraq in numbers? The question was first posed to ABC News Thursday, shortly after President Obama's announcement, by a former member of U.S. special operations who knows some of the men on their way to Iraq.

Nothing, they are now friends taking on Islamic extremists, of course Irans interest in this is that they are the wrong kind of extremist so any help from America means fewer true believers will get killed. Let the heretic and the infidel kill each other. |

US forces will follow their ROE, which probably will be similar to when we had troops in Iraq from 2003 – 2012. When the Iranians crossed the boarder and secured a couple oil wells. US forces stood off and monitors the Iranians. Then after a couple days the Iranians went back to their side of the boarder. It happened several times with no major incidents. |
