The United States of america will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless. When people harm americans anywhere, we do whats necessary to see that justice is done. And we act against isil standing alongside others. The president went on to say the United States would continue its air strikes against isil despite its threat to kill another american held hostage. In fact, those air strikes today were ramped up, another 14 strikes near iraqs mosul dam, the dam that iraqi and Kurdish Forces have just recaptured from isil. The Obama Administration may send, we are told, another 300 of our troops to iraq, mainly to provide additional security at the u. S. Embassy in baghdad. Theres no final decision yet. But it would bring the total number of american troops there to 1,100. At issue, whether the president has severely underestimated both al qaeda and isil, the group he once dismissed as a, quote, j. V. Team of terrorists. Interesting
