US President Barack Obama has said he will not allow jihadists to carve out a "caliphate" straddling Syria and Iraq.
On Friday, the US began launching air strikes on fighters of the Islamic State (IS) in northern Iraq.
Mr Obama said there would be further air strikes if necessary but no US military operation on the ground.

Post bin Laden al Qaeda is a Saudi financed international Sunni fighting force that was deployed in Syria and Iraq. It was the desire of the Saudis to establish an Arabic speaking Sunni front line state composed of large parts of Syria and Iraq to confront Iran. However even the Saudis are frightened of the bizarre and vicious ISIL jihadists who have evolved from al Qaeda. They rightly view them as a long term threat to the rule of the Saudi royals. funding has been cut. The Saudis have given their full blessing to Obama’s recent actions.

We already have Soldiers in this fight. That’s why he had to have the air strikes. He’s dithering around again. He’s going to dither us into a real mess.

O’s policy is to show his hand to his opponents but not to his allies. There are ground troops in place now.
