The New York Times: Reports on Syria and Iraq and the Obama Strategy, " ...that remains untethered to any coherent strategy. Instead of challenging an escalation of American military forces in the Syrian war, several prominent members of Congress are irresponsibly demanding even more hawkish approaches. "
Lets Get Real:
The Obama Administration must make sure that while it remains in power it does not see the fall of Iraq or Syria to Daesh, thus it might take ground troops, sooner or later to keep the Iraqi Army going and stop Iran having a major role in Iraq. The US will need it troops to take on the tough Daesh positions in Iraq and Syria. The US left will go through the roof should this happen, the Oval does not want to see US helicopters taking the last US diplomats out of Iraq from the stormed US Embassy. The next year and half will be tricky for the Oval Office.
