Working with the iraqi government, we will expand our efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions so were hitting isil targets as iraqi forces go on offense. Moreover, i made it clear we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are. That means i will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency. If you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. Second, we will increase our support to forces fighting these terrorists on the ground.

Understand is did the nfl even need to see this video . Because i think it was pretty clear to everyone, based on the first video that we saw what had happened. So, what did the nfl imagine had happened in that elevator that would warrant only a twogame suspension . Thats the question everybodys asking. I think for me, the nfl has been way too reactionary and not proceed active enough this this. I wrote a column six weeks ago, five weeks ago about the nfl and saying it was allegedly what ray rice had did, although we really knew exactly what had happened in that elevator. Now the story is, the nfl saying they didnt have access to that tape. I think a lot of people are having a hard time buying this because if it was a criminal investigation, then the atlantic citys Prosecutors Office would have had to turn that over to the nfl and Roger Goodell. I think thats maybe the most upsetting out of all of this. A lot of really strange elements one after another here. Commissioner Roger Goodell

Second, we will increase our support to forces fighting these terrorists on the ground. I will assess how we can best support Iraqi Security forces. We will send Additional Service members to iraq. As i said before, these American Forces will not have a combat mission. The president tried to make a particular point to distinguish the choice hes making tonight from president george w. Bushs decision to go to war with iraq or weapons of mass destruction that did not exist, a war that president obama opposed. Anytime we take military action, there are risks involved. Especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. But i want the American People to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in iraq and afghanistan. It will not involve american combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This Counterterrorism Campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out isil wherever they exist using our air power. And our support for partners force
Effect auated back then . I would say the United States has been engaged in an effort to support them and have been for some time, more than a year at least. Separatory separately the concern that was expressed at the time was a concern we didnt want to provide assistance to every individual who said that they were fighting bashar al assad. Had we done that without thoroughly vetting them and building the kind of relationship necessary to understand who to provide weapons to we would have inadvertently provided weapons to those fight ing iraq. There was a question of who exactly was included in the Syrian Opposition and which of those elements were interested in putting in place a government that actually reflected the will and diversity of the Syrian People and which were members of the opposition actually extremists, who were hoping to use the power vacuum thats been created by this civil war in syria, to try to carry out their own vision of an islamic caliphate in this region.
