Lebanon and the RegionOpinion: Tackling Islamic State: a message from Lebanon
Barack Obama never understood properly the dangers inherent in the Syrian situation. Obama wants to defeat the Islamic State but he doesn’t want to do anything about the conflict in Syria: he has separated artificially the anti-Islamic State campaign and the conflict in Syria, as if these things were not intimately tied into one another.

President Barack Obama will ask Congress this week to approve $3.2 billion in added Pentagon and intelligence spending to continue fighting Islamic State and possibly to retrain Iraq’s military forces, according to U.S. officials.

He ultimately pleaded guilty to involvement even as 9/11 planner Khalid Sheik Mohammed claimed he wasn’t part of the team.
