FILE - In this April 1, 2017 file photo, children play inside a damaged car, amid heavy destruction in a neighborhood recently retaken by Iraqi security forces from Islamic State militants on the western side of Mosul, Iraq. Iraq’s Sunni minority is pushing for a greater say in power once the Islamic State group is defeated, reflecting a growing sentiment that the country’s government must be more inclusive to prevent extremism from gaining ground once again. But so far, many Shiite politicians are wary, and the Sunni leadership is divided and disorganized. The danger is that Iraq will fall into the same sectarian cycle that has plagued it for more than a decade. (AP Photo/Felipe Dana, File)

In this Thursday, Feb. 23, 2017 photo, U.S. Army soldiers stand outside their armored vehicle on a joint base with Iraqi army south of Mosul, Iraq. As Iraqi forces push into western Mosul coalition troops are closer to frontline fighting than ever before. Coalition forces have moved their bases closer to the front, relaxed their rules of engagement and during the push on Mosul airport coalition advisors were embedded with forward Iraqi rapid response and special forces units. Coalition officials say the change is helping speed up Iraqi military gains, but it marks a steady escalation of U.S. involvement in Iraq that could undermine the sustainability of Iraq's territorial victories.
