Alwaght- According to Reuters Barack Obama has approved sending up to 1,500 more troops to Iraq, roughly doubling the number of American forces on the ground to fight ISIS terrorist group. A group that initially trained, funded, and armed by America to fight on their behalf to topple a member of Resistance Axis, that is Syria. Due to years of Syrian people's heroic resistance terrorists failed to fulfill their masters' demands.
On the other hand, after America's humiliating defeat in Iraq that made it to withdraw from Iraq, American officials were seeking for an opportunity to return back to Iraq. What excuse better than fighting their handmade terrorism, i.e. ISIS. Undoubtedly with America's green light, ISIS terrorist group invaded Iraq to create another opportunity for their master's return to Iraq soil.
Obama's decision greatly expands the geographic distribution of American forces, some of whom will head into Iraq's fiercely contested western Anbar province for the first time.
It also raises the stakes in Obama's first interactions with Congress after his Democratic Party was thumped by Republicans in mid-term elections this week. The White House said it would ask Congress for $1.6 billion for a new "Iraq Train and Equip Fund".
About 1,400 American troops are now on the ground, just below the previous limit of 1,600 troops. The new authorization gives the American military the ability to deploy up to 3,100 troops.
Kirby claimed about 870 of the additional troops would be involved in "hands-on training," and disclosed that "well over 700 additional trainers will come from foreign governments."
