Mana News has a source in Iraq that the SAS are in Iraq near Baghdad and the decision for New Zealand \u00a0to send\u00a0troops was made months ago and leaked by the Australian Government last week.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime minister yesterday\u00a0outlined his deployment to Iraq. To be realistic this will be a long term engagement more likely\u00a0a 10 year war, the second Iraq war was from 2003-2011 longer than world war two.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime minister has denied parliament a democratic\u00a0vote on this decision. This deployment has not been sanctioned by parliament. The details of\u00a0the deployment are sketchy Defence force personnel are going to be behind the wire in camp Taji and the SAS are sort of going, and there are only 16 trainers\u00a0out of 143 troops over a two year period.<\/p>\n<p>The Iraqi government that requested our troops\u00a0is refusing\u00a0a force agreement that protects our troops from prosecution if they kill an enemy combatant or civilian. New Zealand Troops can be prosecuted and imprisoned by Iraqi authorities, this shows a lack of commitment by the Iraqi government and indicates they don\u2019t really need our troops.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday \u00a0Prime minister John Key yelled across parliament<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>\u2018Get some guts and join the right side\u2019<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The PM announced that the deployment of troops to the cost of $63 Million dollars. The National Government has decided they can\u2019t afford the feed the kids bill costing $100 million.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3299\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mananews.co.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/armychief.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3299 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/mananews.co.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/armychief-300x164.jpg\" alt=\"armychief\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mananews.co.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/armychief-300x164.jpg 300w, http:\/\/mananews.co.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/armychief-495x270.jpg 495w, http:\/\/mananews.co.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/armychief.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lieutenant General Timothy Keating<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Mana News editor Joe Trinder Lieutenant General Timothy Keating\u00a0has\u00a0categorically denied the New Zealand Special Air Service are currently in Iraq.
