"Soldiers encountered Molotov cocktails and other dangerous items in the training..."
As Barack Obama has already informed the enemy Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan of our intent to withdraw most of our troops next year, the same Commander-in-Chief has authorized the deployment of 400 U.S. Army troops to assist the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Egyptian government, as reported by the Investor's Business Daily (IBD) via Google News on June 24, 2013.
Citing various local sources from the Killeen and Ft. Hood, Texas area, American troops from the sprawling Army post will soon man posts throughout Egypt's Sinai Peninsula as part of a nine-month "peacekeeping mission."
Part of the pre-deployment training includes crowd control measures during protests and riots.
"Soldiers encountered Molotov cocktails and other dangerous items in the training," according to a local TV news station that broke the story out of Killeen.
According to a U.S. Army press release, a battalion task force from the 1st Cavalry Division is officially slated for assignment to the United Nation's spawned Multinational Force and Observers Peacekeeping Force (MFO) in Egypt.
Any troops from the twenty member states assigned to the MFO, to include American, are not under the operational command of their respective nations, but are answerable to the MFO headquarters located in Rome, Italy.
According to the MFO website, the American contingent is also tasked with providing a Quick Reaction Force.
There is no indication from any of the cited sources if American troops assigned to the MFO could be re-deployed to other hot-spots in the region at the pleasure of the Commander-in-Chief.
Ft. Hood has been in the national spotlight due to the Department of Justice deeming "workplace violence" in which Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire in a crowded Deployment Processing Center, killing 14 (one of the soldiers killed was pregnant) and wounding 32 troops and civilians.
Despite Nidal screaming the al-Qaeda war cry of "Allahu Akbar" during the massacre, the Obama Administration has determined the attack wasn't an act of terrorism.

Sending our troops into another country --- again --- without congressional authority? Wonder whether our congress knows the meaning of 'high crimes and misdemeanors?' Do the people of the United States want their own to risk their lives for the Muslim Brotherhood in a foreign country - especially without congressional approval? In a word, no. The era of American soldiers entering other countries without lawful congressional authorization must end.
Alfie, This exactly the same crap that got us into war in Vietnam and other places. Sending in a small contingent of trainers, peace keepers, etc. Then having to follow it up with more money and equipment, and then more troops.
Muslim Obama is attempting to drag us into another war, this time to rescue his buddies in the Muslim Brotherhood that took over Egypt after we helped screw that up. Egypt has a huge military (paid for and armed by us). They can take care of their own country. Same for Syria. Let the Muslims fight it out among themselves.

Did the big O get pproval from the US Congress?
I guess Obama is wanting to get some troops trained up to protect his sorry hindend, when the Shumer hits the fan here in the US>
Too much to take, sorry, who in the hell declared we are to take part in an Egyptian War? Our Boys being sacrificed for WHAT??? Utter BS. Obama stirred these people up, he "Community Organized" the riots, now even the Egyptians are holding banners, saying Obama supports terrorism. Smarter than the American public!
It seems obummer can not do enough for the mooslimes that want to see all of is non mooslimes with our heads cut off.
Ironical that Obama has authorized a Quick Reaction Force for the Egyptians... Tell our dead people in Benghazi that.
RIGHT ON THE MONEY, LARRY.
This is pure BS on the part of Obama. He is sending those Fort Hood soldiers there to DIE....for his muslim brotherhood buddies to use for 'practice beheading'....but you will never read or see that in our MSM.
This is pure crap!!
