Led coalition targets Islamic State with 31 air strikes – statement

Finally, we must stop doing the same foolish things overseas that the President advocated for throughout his remarks.

On Nov 17, the Islamic State took credit for the bomb that blew up the Russian airliner on October 31 over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

In his Oval Office address Sunday night, President Obama continued his failure of leadership and his outrageous quest to turn a necessary discussion on terrorism and national security into an unnecessary and ineffective gun control debate.

Bush, in an MSNBC interview, twice acknowledged that he agreed with the president’s approach in specific areas.

Rogers said ISIS puts far more emphasis on their social media strategy than their military capability, so fighting their rhetoric is just as important as decisions about military force.

Paul is the junior U.S. Senator for Kentucky.

A US-led coalition is also carrying out strikes against the Daesh group in Iraq and Syria, where the jihadists have declared a cross-border “caliphate” spanning territory it controls in the two countries.

There are specific differences in some cases – most notably on the GOP’s support (shared by Democratic contender Hillary Clinton) for a no-fly zone in Syria. “The Saudis and the Emiratis – the two countries with the most capacity in terms of air power – are flying fighter jets over the skies of Yemen, so that’s why you really have to prioritize the fight in Yemen over the fight against ISIS”.

Of course, talking about it like this makes it sound like it’s all about Obama – which we all know is how he sees it. It’s really all about the security of the American people, 52 percent of whom were stupid enough to elect a president who is smugly indifferent about that very thing.

Instead, Paul calls for a Sunni Muslim ground force to take the lead.

U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne, R-Fairhope, co-sponsored a bill Tuesday that would give the military broad authority to conduct operations against ISIS if directed by President Barack Obama.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the expeditionary force would be more than 50 but would not be more specific. Today, the question is not whether the USA accepts refugees.

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, we now do not have access to any type of database in Syria to track these refugees’ criminal records. The US has provided at least 20,000 smalls arms and heavy weapons to the country, along with 2,000 AT-4 anti-tank weapons and around 300 counter-improvised explosive devices since the invasion, some of which have undoubtedly found their way to ISIS. Rand Paul galvanized his opposition to the US committing ground forces to the fight against Islamic State, claiming Muslims will think the “crusaders are back”.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said in June that ISIS had captured about 2,300 US Humvee armored vehicles after taking Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, in June of 2014.

“The attitude has to be different”, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Monday.

“Moreover, the vast majority of terrorist victims around the world are Muslim”, said Obama.
