In his address to the nation Wednesday night, President Barack Obama expanded the American campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria across the Iraqi border into Syria for the first time. He announced the long-haul effort to “degrade and ultimately destroy” ISIS would include airstrikes against targets in that country and the training in Saudi Arabia of moderate rebel forces actively fighting the brutal regime of Bashar al-Assad. The move comes after ISIS has seized large swaths of land on both sides of the border and beheaded two American journalists.Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.
