Obama Sends 350 More Troops to Iraq 
------------------------------------


 
The latest ISIS video release comes as President Obama has authorized an
additional 350 soldiers to guard the U.S. Embassy and personnel in
Baghdad. The United States now has well over 1,000 troops operating in
Iraq. In a statement, the White House said the soldiers would not serve
in a combat role. But The Daily Beast reports U.S. special operations
forces may be operating on the ground in parts of northern Iraq.
