Potentially directly with the president sometime over the next several days. Turkey like every country has a right to defend its territory and its air space. I think its very important now to make sure that both the russians and the turks are talking to each other and find out exactly what happened and take measures to discourage any kind of escalation. I do think that this points to an on going problem with the russian operations. In the sense that they are operating very close to a Turkish Border and they are going after moderate opposition supported by not only turkey but a wide range of countries and if russia is directing their attention towards dash and isol, some of those conflicts and potentials for mistakes or escalation are less likely to occur. And i think this underscores the importance of us making sure that we move this political track forward as quickly as possible.

Seeking support at home and abroad for a sustained military campaign to dismantle and destroy the Islamic State group. The president asked for congress for 500 million to arm and train moderate Syrian Opposition fighters. The president also announced that he is sending another 475 military advisers.

S. Pulls out too many Ground Troops so they would like to see more presence. Then there are other republicans that say they have concerned about arming rebels because they say how do we ensure those arms dont get into the wrong hands and they are not used against u. S. Forces and u. S. Assets on the ground in iraq. A ke
Over syrian skies sooner than expected . Saudi military forces are participating as are the united emirates. Turkey, its score of isil hostages, its borders overrun with refugees may be looking for a role. Qatar backed the streets but was not involved militarily. At the United Nations president obama called for attack of isil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force. The United States will work with a Broad Coalition to dismantle this network of death. Before the United Nations General Assembly president obama said once again the u. S. Is not in a war against islam, and isil does not act alone. Today i ask the world to join in this effort. Those who have joined isil should leave the battlefield while they can. Those who continue to fight for a hateful cause will find theyre increasingly alone for we will not succumb to threats, and the future belongs to those who build, not those who destroy. The president obama said it was not us against them. And th
