The US is to send up to 450 military advisers to Iraq to help train local forces fighting Islamic State, the White House says.

President Obama made the decision following a request from Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi, it said.

The troops will be deployed to the Taqaddum military base in Anbar province. IS seized Ramadi - the capital of Anbar - in May.

They don't care...remember, they gave him that Nobel Peace Prize for thinking he'd actually bring peace to the region... :rolleyes:
 
On a related note, isn't this how we eventually got swamped into the quagmire that was Vietnam?:|:|
