Telegraph: Reports " Islamic State fighters mass on Lebanon border and threaten to launch attacks across it..Exclusive: How Islamic State fighters have been training new recruits close to Lebanon – and could launch cross-border attacks "
Lets Get Real:
It would be a nightmare for the Obama legacy if in its term in Office the influence of IS extended from Iraq via Syria to Lebanon. The air power alone plan of the Oval is not working, a incursion by IS in to Lebanon would bring Iran in to the mix, while the Oval is trying to get a nuclear deal with the Tehran and keep the US Senate from passing new sanctions on Iran. The US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs any day soon will be back in the Oval Office to tell the President that more US ground troops will be needed in Iraq and special forces for Syria. The bombing of IS has not stopped them from gaining ground, the US is sending million dollar missiles to take down trucks or groups of terrorists. There is a limit on this and its value, the US needs ground troops in the Middle East.
