Looks like it's back to business as usual in Iraq for U.S. troops!

In his second inaugural address Comrade Obama said that ten years of war was coming to an end. I guess he was wrong.

No it doesn't and the link you provided doesn't come close to saying the US will send troops.
They might send weapons and ammo (which has already been claimed that US weapons have already landed in the militant's hands) and they may even provide some UAV's or a C-130 to blow up a few things, but nobody in the US has any desire to go back there and even the government is standing away from even suggesting sending troops into Iraq again.
The current Iraq government can't even get a pat on the back for moral support.

It's another one of the quaint customs around here. Post an article on a subject, then "interpret" the article to say whatever you got in your head. Or just flat-out lie about what the article says.
Usually works because most folk never read the linked article.
No, I mean John Howard. He wasn't part of the "Coalition of the Billing." He volunteered, apparently under the delusion that it would make people think Australia in foreign affairs is something other than the metoo of the English-speaking world.
Nothing that was said on the news tonight would preclude troops from going back to Iraq! Of course any sane person on this side of the pond would hope it doesn't happen!

Well, mebbe another set of deployments might mean that we'll find those nebulous WMD after all.
It is interesting how some feel Obama is responsible for this recent upsurge. I guess they feel he is the president of Iraq and that Jalal Talibani is merely a figurehead in Baghdad. But whether anyone likes it or not, the latter is responsible for what is going on in Iraq - clearly the people hate his guts and he cannot get support from them or the 'insurgency' would have been defeated a long time ago.

Tony Blair: 'We didn't cause Iraq crisis'
The 2003 invasion of Iraq is not to blame for the violent insurgency now gripping the country, former UK prime minister Tony Blair has said.
He told the BBC there would still be a "major problem" in Iraq even without the toppling of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
He insisted the current crisis was an issue that "affects us all" and urged more western intervention in the area.
Critics have rejected the comments as "bizarre" with one accusing Mr Blair of "washing his hands of responsibility".
