President Barack Obama is preparing to send 300 U.S. military advisers to aid the Iraqi army in its battle against insurgency forces sweeping the nation. Obama’s plan was announced yesterday in a statement at the White House and said the U.S. is prepared to take additional “targeted” action in Iraq if necessary, Bloomberg reports. The advisers will work with the Iraqi army to establish joint operations centers to help coordinate intelligence and planning efforts with the Iraqis. However, American troops will not be returning for combat in the country.
