FILE - in this Sunday, March 30, 2014. Islamic State group militants wave al-Qaida flags as they patrol in a commandeered Iraqi military vehicle in Fallujah, 40 miles (65 kilometers) west of Baghdad, Iraq. U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday, Nov. 7, that he has authorized the deployment of up to 1,500 more American troops to bolster Iraqi forces, which could more than double the total number of U.S. forces to 3,100. For the first time since the U.S. withdrawal in December 2011, American military personnel will be on the ground in Iraq’s historically dangerous Anbar province, helping train the Iraqi military for its fight against the Islamic State group.
