President Obama Lays Out Four-Part Combative Plan To Battle ISIS

In recent weeks ISIS has been front and center in the minds of most Americans when the topic of terrorism comes up. This group has been touted as being potentially more dangerous than Al Qaeda and their brutal videotaped beheadings of two American journalists certainly has gotten them exactly the kind of attention that they wanted. On Wednesday, President Obama finally laid out plans to combat ISIS in a prime time speech.

President Obama finally addressed the violent acts that have been committed against innocents' by ISIS and vowed that "we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are" and "if you threaten America, you will find no safe haven."

President Obama introduced a four-part comprehensive plan to combat ISIS. With the first being to continue airstrikes against ISIS targets. He also wants to send more American soldiers into Iraq to help Iraqi military to handle the threats that are currently threatening their people. Obama stressed that U.S. Soldiers will not be fighting in a combative position. The third plan of attack involves preventing ISIS attacks by stopping and debilitating them before they attack. The fourth thing proposed by Obama is that the U.S. is to continue sending humanitarian help to those who have been displaced by ISIS.

It is believed that a coalition of nations needs to join forces to prevent ISIS from continued attacks on Iraqi and Syrian soil because the more ground they cover the stronger they will be come and that means that countries like the U.S. Are far more likely to be directly targeted. Do you agree with the four-tiered combative plan against ISIS as it stands right now? Do you think that having our soldiers in Iraq to help will eventually lead to them fighting on the ground against ISIS or will we stick to air strikes as President Obama currently says?
