US President Barack Obama says he has authorised air strikes against Islamic
militants in northern Iraq but will not send US troops back to the country.
As I always mentioned today US is under President of Obama. The way he handle international issue is totally difference from previous US president, Bush. Listen properly and capture the important words and sentences that he used.
"The US cannot and should not intervene every time there is a crisis in the world," Mr Obama said.
US could not turn a "blind eye" to the prospect of violence "on a horrific scale", especially when the Iraqi government had requested assistance.
"We can act, carefully and responsibly, to prevent a potential act of genocide," he went on. "Today America is coming to help."
He said that US air strikes would target IS fighters, should the militants' convoys move toward Irbil, where there is a significant presence of US diplomats and military advisers, or threaten Baghdad.
In addition, he authorised strikes "if necessary" to help Iraqi government forces break the siege at Mount Sinjar and rescue the trapped civilians.
He added that the US could and should support moderate forces that could bring stability to Iraq, and he said there was no "American solution" to the turmoil plaguing Iraq.
"The only lasting solution is reconciliation among Iraqi communities and stronger Iraqi security forces," he said.
For a president who is still busy withdrawing his troops from Afghanistan, what do you think, to bring the whole troop to Iraq? Well.......only when he doesn't have a choice or there is really a need.
We have Iraq issue over here and we have Israel issue too. Keep a close look up on their progress. I am very concern on the sanction war between Russia and the US and EU. How US and EU response to the recent sanction by Russia, watch out on that too. The impact to whole world economic can be as great or even greater than the earlier two.
