Telegraph: Reports " Midterm elections: Fear of terrorism once against haunts American politics..Republicans in New Hampshire and across the US gain ground as voters lose confidence in Barack Obama's handling of the Islamic State "
Lets Get Real:
The 2nd Obama term will have two words that define it, Iraq and Syria, the US it has been predicted will be bombing IS in Iraq and Syria for YEARS, that means that through the 2016 Presidential race the WARS in the Middle East will be front and centre. It is a given in US politics that when it comes to national security the Republicans win, for a while President Obama turned that around with the death of OBL and the spin that Al Qaeda was dead and buried, then he bottled Syria, and did not see the rise of IS. It has been argued by the military experts that Iraq and Syria need Western trained troops to push back IS, the air campaign alone will not work, what is the point of pushing back IS if there is no one to hold and keep the land won. The US voter is no fool, they do not like Wars but understand that they need to be fought in a smart manner, the present ONLY air campaign is not smart overall, the fight against IS requires ground and air support, one does not work without the other. The Oval is seen as weak, thus it can be predicted that the Republicans will keep the House and have 6/10 chance of taking the Senate.
