The US must send 20,000 troops to take part in operations in Iraq or risk losing the war against IS, two high-profile advisers of former president George W Bush warned the Senate.
Retired General Jack Keane and Frederick Kagan of the Conservative American Enterprise Institute told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the increased presence of US troops is essential for halting the progress of the jihadist group.
"We are not only failing, we are losing this war," said Keane, who previously served as Vice Chief of Staff of the US Army, and added that the US' "conceptual plan is fundamentally flawed."
