CNN - Politics: Reports " If nothing else, the latest ISIS act of barbarism brought a quick political consensus, and added pressure on President Barack Obama: Caution in the face of repugnant horror just won't do. "
Lets Get Real:
The Oval has no political choice it has to ACT and has to be seen to have ACTED, thus this means more air strikes on ISIS in Iraq and attacks on ISIS in Syria, while at the same time having to deal with Russian action in the Ukraine. The Oval has to be careful that any attacks on ISIS in Syria does not help the Assad Regime, that is harder to do with the options, the Syrian air defence is good, thus any attacks on ISIS using Syrian Air space will have to have the agreement of Assad, of course the US could strike ISIS with planes outside the Assad controlled air space, but an attack to be successful it needs the use of Syrian air space and to use US Special Forces on the ground. Thus the best way to hit both ISIS and Assad is to HIT both of them at the same time, neither will gain and the Oval will be seen to have taken action on both sides.
