President Obama has been such a laggard on the subject of Iraq that the joke just the other day claimed that he was sending in troops, but they were Iranian.
Now, he really is sending in the troops, a whopping 275 of them. Rather, that's "as many as up to" 275, which could mean fewer.

Let's hope that if they need to call for backup, no one at the White House gives a stand-down order to nearby bases, as happened in Benghazi.
