Guardian: Reports " Obama doubles US troop levels in Iraq for war against Isis...Pledge to avoid ‘boots on the ground’ strained as 1,500 additional US troops ordered to Iraq to bolster Iraqi and Kurdish forces fighting Islamic State "
Lets Get Real:
One would have to be a naive fool not to understand the direction of US policy in Iraq and Syria, the Oval by its actions has made it clear that it will not lose Iraq and Syria to IS, losing Syria to Assad is another matter. That is the problem with the Middle East, your never sure who are your allies or enemies for the long term. The Oval will face a choice sooner or later, and knowing the luck of Obama it will be sooner, will it fight in Iraq and Syria, the sending of another one thousand five hundred troops makes the Obama legacy stuck with Iraq and Syria. The decision to leave Iraq in 2011 with no US troops was a massive mistake, the result was IS, this time President Obama can not afford to lose, his legacy is on the line, thus expect more troops to be sent to the Middle East.
