Obama outlines plan to target IS fighters Al Jazeera

Duration: 4:29
Updated: 11 Sep 2014

obama , outlines , plan , target , is , fighters , al jazeera , US President Barack Obama has authorised air strikes against Islamic State group targets inside Syria for the first time, pledging to destroy its fighters "wherever they exist". In an address to the nation on Wednesday, Obama also announced an expansion of strikes in Iraq, saying he would be dispatching nearly 500 more US troops to the country to assist its besieged security forces. Obama called on Congress to authorise a programme to train and arm rebels in Syria who are fighting both the Islamic State group and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Saudi Arabia, a crucial US ally in the Middle East, offered to host the training missions, part of Obama's effort to persuade other nations to join with the US in confronting the self-declared jihadist fighters. "This is not our fight alone," Obama declared. "American power can make a decisive difference, but we cannot do for Iraqis what they must do for themselves, nor can we take the place of Arab partners in securing their region." "Our objective is clear: We will degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL (Islamic State) through a comprehensive and sustained air strikes strategy.'' Obama adamantly ruled out the prospect of putting American troops in combat roles on the ground in Iraq or Syria. "President Obama is trying to send a message to the public that this is not another full-blown war. US officials are making a concerted effort to say 'this is like Yemen and Somalia'," Al Jazeera's Patty Culhane, reporting from the White House, said. "Whether in fact it will be like Yemen and Somalia remains to be seen. In those countries, there have been mostly unpublicised, targeted, very occasional drone strikes," she said. "What the president is talking about now is a constant series of air strikes and a much deeper involvement with Iraq and Syria." The Islamic State group has taken control of large parts of Iraq and Syria. The group's brutal campaign has included beheadings of rivals and killings of hundreds of members of Iraq's minorities. In recent weeks, the Islamic State group has released videos depicting the beheading of two American journalists in Syria. The violent images appear to have had an impact on a formerly war-weary public, with multiple polls in recent days showing that the majority of Americans support air strikes in both Iraq and Syria. Using 'force authorisation' The US began launching limited air strikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq earlier this summer. But officials said Obama was waiting for Iraq to form a new government - a step it took on Tuesday - before broadening the effort. Officials said strikes in Iraq would now be wide-ranging and extend into Syria. Obama plans to proceed with those actions without seeking new authorisation from Congress. Instead, officials said Obama will act under a use of force authorisation Congress passed in the days after 9/11 to give President George W Bush the ability to go after those who perpetrated the attacks. Obama has previously called for that authorisation to be repealed, he has also used the measure as a rationale to take strikes against terrorist targets in Yemen and Somalia. Earlier on Wednesday, John Kerry, US secretary of state, said the international community will not sit and watch the Islamic State grow. He identified Iraq as a key partner in the fight against the group.

President Obama Full Speech Outlining a Battle Plan 9/10/2014 with transcript

Duration: 14:05
Updated: 11 Sep 2014

September 10th 2014 President Obama Speech on ICSIS. Full speech and transcript in the description. Please SUBSCRIBE AND COMMENT on your views on this interactive channel. Transcript: President Obama delivered the following remarks at the White House on Sept. 10 outlining his strategy to defeat Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. Transcript courtesy of Federal News Service. PRESIDENT OBAMA: My fellow Americans, tonight I want to speak to you about what the United States will do with our friends and allies to degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL. As commander in chief, my highest priority is the security of the American people. Over the last several years, we have consistently taken the fight to terrorists who threaten our country. We took out Osama bin Laden and much of al-Qaida’s leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We’ve targeted al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen and recently eliminated the top commander of its affiliate in Somalia. We’ve done so while bringing more than 140,000 American troops home from Iraq and drawing down our forces in Afghanistan, where our combat mission will end later this year. Thanks to our military and counterterrorism professionals, America is safer. Still, we continue to face a terrorist threat. We can’t erase every trace of evil from the world and small groups of killers have the capacity to do great harm. That was the case before 9/11, and that remains true today. And that’s why we must remain vigilant as threats emerge. At this moment the greatest threats come from the Middle East and North Africa, where radical groups exploit grievances for their own gain. And one of those groups is ISIL -- which calls itself the Islamic State. In a region that has known so much bloodshed, these terrorists are unique in their brutality. They execute captured prisoners. They kill children. They enslave, rape and force women into marriage. They threatened a religious minority with genocide. And in acts of barbarism, they took the lives of two American journalists -- Jim Foley and Steven Sotloff. So ISIL poses a threat to the people of Iraq and Syria and the broader Middle East, including American citizens, personnel and facilities. If left unchecked, these terrorists could pose a growing threat beyond that region, including to the United States. While we have not yet detected specific plotting against our homeland, ISIL leaders have threatened America and our allies. Our intelligence community believes that thousands of foreigners, including Europeans and some Americans, have joined them in Syria and Iraq. Trained and battle-hardened, these fighters could try to return to their home countries and carry out deadly attacks. I know many Americans are concerned about these threats. Tonight I want you to know that the United States of America is meeting them with strength and resolve. Last month I ordered our military to take targeted action against ISIL to stop its advances. Since then we’ve conducted more than 150 successful airstrikes in Iraq. These strikes have protected American personnel and facilities, killed ISIL fighters, destroyed weapons and given space for Iraqi and Kurdish forces to reclaim key territory. These strikes have also helped save the lives of thousands of innocent men, women and children. May God bless our troops and may God bless the United States of America.

Second Destruction of the Headquarters of ISIS in Iraq

Duration: 0:40
Updated: 15 Sep 2014

President Barack Obama will outline a new, expanded strategy to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the jihadist group calling itself the Islamic State (also ISIS or ISIL) with a primetime speech Wednesday night. Ahead of Obama’s speech, officials outlined elements of his plan to confront the group, involving a coalition of the U.S. and its allies in the Middle East, Europe, and elsewhere. It will include an expansion of American airstrikes on ISIS targets in both Iraq and in Syria, combined with an effort to support Iraqi and Kurdish forces in Iraq as well as moderate opposition forces in Syria. According to excerpts of the prepared script for Obama’s speech that were released by the White House he will describe the planned effort to confront ISIS as “relentless.” “This counter-terrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground.” Based on his prepared remarks, Obama will also note that, “this strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.” Obama is also set to announce the support of a variety of allies to fight ISIS, including partners in the Middle East, Europe, and elsewhere. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry traveled Wednesday to Iraq and Jordan, and Obama talked on the phone with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah. The White House said the two agreed on “need for increased training and equipping of the moderate Syrian opposition.” As part of Obama’s plan to confront ISIS, he will also request that Congress include so-called “Title 10″ authority under the U.S. code in a must-pass spending bill that is up for a vote this month. This would allow the U.S. to ramp up training and equipping of moderate groups fighting both ISIS and the regime of Bashar Assad in the three-year Syrian civil war. The administration went on a full-court press with members of Congress on Wednesday to get the authority included in the bill. A senior administration official said both Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were making calls to members, and counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco is on Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers. The White House believes its request needs to be tackled now and that the continuing resolution is the best mechanism by which to complete it. Obama’s speech comes one year after he delivered another primetime address calling on Congress to authorize U.S. airstrikes against Assad regime targets in Syria. He ultimately dropped that request to pursue a diplomatic solution. ISIS gained power in Syria during the ongoing conflict against Assad. Of course, Obama’s remarks also come on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.

VOA news for Monday, September 8th, 2014

Duration: 5:56
Updated: 08 Sep 2014

Thanks to http://gandalf.ddo.jp/ for audio and text Monday, September 8th, 2014 From Washington, this is VOA news. Coming up, dealing with the Islamic State insurgency. The latest on the Ebola outbreak. The U.S. military is widening its campaign against Islamic State militants, launching 4 airstrikes Sunday on insurgents threatening to take over the Haditha Dam in western Iraq. U.S. officials said Iraq remains in control of the dam, a major source of water and electrical power. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said securing the dam (was) crucial. "If that dam would fall into ISIL's hand, or if that dam would be destroyed, the damage that that would cause would be very significant. And it would put a significant, additional and big risk into the mix in Iraq." U.S. Defense chief Chuck Hagel speaking Sunday in Tbilisi, Georgia. President Obama says he will outline his "game plan" to deal with the threat posed by Islamic State militants this week. Mr. Obama told NBC television's Meet the Press program in an interview broadcast on Sunday that he will meet with congressional leaders Tuesday to discuss the matter. He stressed the U.S. does not plan to send ground troops into Iraq. Authorities in Sierra Leone are ordering people to stay at home for 3 days this month as part of an effort to stop the spread of the Ebola virus. Doctors Without Borders has criticized the measure saying it could lead to people trying to conceal infections. A Sierra Leone government spokesman says people will not be allowed to leave their homes from late September 18th until September the 21st. A lockdown last month in an area of Monrovia, Liberia, sparked riots. Ebola has ravaged Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria since March. This is VOA news. Somalia has removed its top intelligence official and is on high alert following the Monday killing of an al-Shabab leader in a U.S. airstrike. National Security Director Abdulahi Mohamed Ali had only held the post for 2 months. He was appointed in July as part of a major overhaul of Somalia's security services. The decision comes as Somali officials put the country on high alert after the militant group al-Shabab confirmed the death of its leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane, in a U.S. airstrike last week. Fighting and shelling in eastern Ukraine has put the 2-day-old cease-fire between Kyiv and pro-Russia separatists in jeopardy. Shelling near the Donetsk airport on Sunday set 2 houses on fire in a small village, and clashes near the city of Mariupol killed a civilian and wounded 3 others. Both sides blamed the other for shattering the truce. The U.N. refugee agency is warning time is running out to get 100s of 1000s of displaced Iraqis ready for winter. The UNHCR says accommodations must be arranged and supplies prepositioned before the cold weather hits in less than 3 months. Lisa Schlein reporting from the UNHCR headquarters in Geneva. The U.N. refugee agency says "time is of the essence." It notes winter is approaching fast and work to reinforce 10ts and other housing must be accelerated before the snow, rain and mud add to the misery of 100,000s of people displaced inside Iraq. Iraq currently is sweltering under average temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius. In less than 3 months, temperatures will dip to below 10 degrees Celsius and the rains will begin. The UNHCR says its winterization program is off to a late start because of the multiple crises which keep cropping up in this conflict-ridden country. Lisa Schlein, for VOA news, Geneva. The September 11th Museum in New York has unveiled some items related to the successful 2011 raid against Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The new exhibit that opened Sunday includes a shirt worn by one of the U.S. Navy SEALs who took part in the raid, a brick from the compound where bin Laden died and a commemorative coin donated [by] to a CIA operative who relentlessly pursued the al-Qaeda leader. In sports news, American Serena Williams has won the third consecutive U.S. Open women's 10nis championship in a dominating performance on Sunday evening in Flushing Meadows, New York. 32-year-old Williams beat her good friend, 24-year-old Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark in straight sets of 6-3, 6-3. That's the latest world news from VOA.
