“President Obama has approved sending up to 1,500 additional U.S. troops to Iraq, doubling the number being deployed to help Iraqi forces fight the Islamic State. The president also requested an additional $5.6 billion on Friday for the war against the Islamic State, in part to cover the additional deployments. The decisions reflect a deepening U.S. involvement in the region, though the White House again stressed that U.S. personnel ‘will not be in combat,’ but rather training, advising and assisting Iraqi forces near Baghdad and Irbil. The U.S. has been launching airstrikes on Islamic State group militants and facilities in Iraq and Syria for weeks.”
