BBC News: Reports " President Barack Obama has said the deployment of 1,500 more US troops to Iraq marks a "new phase" against Islamic State militants. "
Lets Get Real:
This blog does not care what the Oval calls this this new phase, as long as the US and its allies go after IS troops and leadership and kills them, simple to the point, the article notes that a recent US air strike could have killed " Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ", the leader of IS. If the US has killed the IS leader this would be a coup for the Obama policy of using air power alone, and then training the new Iraqi army to hold and defend land taken from IS. As stated this is going to be a LONG WAR, there will be ups and downs, thus far this is a up, it helps Obama sell the WAR to the US public and to the Congress.
