Led coalition targets Islamic State with 31 air strikes: Statement

Republicans who oppose the president’s plan to take in 10,000 Syrian refugees are “scared of widows and orphans”, President Obama scoffed last month. It will be necessary to somehow re-convince the Sunni tribal leaders in Iraq that, if they fight the Islamic State, they will find protection and fair treatment in a unified country, instead of living under Shiite despotism.

However, he says since the USA has seen the scope of ISIS’ power and is continuing to fight the terrorist group, there should be a democratic conversation about how to do it, so he’s been calling for Congress to vote on whether or not to declare war against the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. He added at that time, “We certainly can not allow them to use the experience they are getting in Syria on home soil”.

Moreover, this proposal depends on another unrealistic assumption, promoted not just by Republicans but by Democrats such as Hillary Clinton: that it is possible to establish a no-fly zone inside Syria along the Turkish border. But I believe the President is correct in thinking that some of the “solutions” offered by the Republicans would only worsen the problem, and America’s longer-term challenge is alternative economic/political model offered by the Chinese.

“There is no meaningful official reporting on the progress in creating effective Iraqi government forces, the strengths and weaknesses of the Iraqi Army to date, the success or failure of efforts to create Arab Sunni forces, and the strengths and weaknesses of Iraqi Kurdish forces”, wrote Anthony Cordesman, the strategy expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, in an essay released last Thursday.

“It’s a huge decision if you’re going to deploy any forces in any way”. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the expeditionary force would be more than 50 but would not be more specific.

While being interviewed by Norah O’Donnell of CBS News on December 2, President Barack Obama made a revealing statement about the careful manner in which USA military interventions are made.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who appears to be rising in the polls, echoed Rubio’s charge that the bombing effort isn’t aggressive enough. He promised in an earlier radio interview to “carpet-bomb them into oblivion”. Obama rejects the idea of sending combat troops, stating that the move would only help ISIS recruit.

The Obama administration is already taking steps on both fronts. “And so many of those weapons have found their way into the hands of Islamic State forces and are now being used for these horrific crimes”, says Neve.

“The range and scope of ISIL arsenal reflects decades of irresponsible arms transfers to Iraq”, says the human rights watchdog in its recent report called “Arming ISIL: Facts and Figures”. Germany has tested the boundaries of its constitution to make a small military contribution (six planes and 1,200 soldiers) in solidarity with France, not the U.S. And America has generally rejected the Eisenhower role of supreme commander in a coalition of the willing – constrained by political commitments (“no boots on the ground”) and highly restrictive rules of engagement. His administration is focused on enacting gun laws that won’t stop terrorists while it continues to push policies that will let more of them into the country.

The military’s Special Operations Command (SOCOM) have also been tasked by the defence chief to host an interagency think tank of military, diplomatic, and intelligence representatives to come up with other options.
