As Islamic State has recaptured Palmyra and supported terror attacks, the Pentagon announced sending another 200 troops to Syria.
These troops add to those already on the ground there and also include more special forces operators. The announcement said the forces are focused around the operation to retake Raqqa.
However, thus far, the operation to retake Mosul in Iraq, which had far more troops, aircraft, and other support, has bogged down.
