发帖数: 61690 | 1 President Obama during a visit to the Pentagon on Monday touted a hike in
the number of airstrikes the U.S. and its allies are using against the
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
“We are hitting ISIL harder than ever,” Obama, using another term for the
terrorist group, said during a trip to the Pentagon, where he met with top
national security officials and military brass.
He said U.S. forces have accelerated the pace of airstrikes against the
terror network, completing 9,000 as of today. Obama also said the U.S. and
its allies have taken out more than half a dozen key ISIS leaders.
“ISIL leaders cannot hide, and our message to them is simple: You are next,
” Obama said.
The tough talk from Obama and his visit to the Pentagon comes during a
challenging time for his national security policy. |
