Some of the 1,500 new US troops authorized to “advise and train” Iraqi forces in their fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants will be deployed in Iraq within the next few weeks without waiting for Congress to fund the mission, the Pentagon said on Thursday. The move came almost three years after US troops completed their withdrawal from Iraq after a nine year presence in the country. Iraq ranked first out of 162 countries on the Global Terrorism Index. The influx in terrorist attacks raises questions about the effectiveness of the US War on Terror launched by the Bush administration after the 9/11 attacks, which included the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
