Obama Outlines ISIS Strategy: Airstrikes In Syria, More U.S. forces
Tom Cohen of CNN reports that President Barack Obama outlined his strategy to defeat ISIS in the Middle East. Although Obama indicated that his plan will not involve American combat troops on foreign soil, he will send advisors and military aid to train rebels, including Kurdish fighters in the north. “I have made it clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are,” he said. “Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy,”
