Obama orders more troops to Iraq to aid Sunni fight
President Obama authorized up to 450 additional U.S. troops to Iraq to reverse battlefield losses to the Islamic State and open a fifth training site at al-Taqaddum focused on integrating Sunni tribes. The aim is to retake Ramadi while avoiding a combat role for Americans amid mixed Iraqi Sunni recruitment and fears of Shiite reprisals.
