White House strongly hints US will strike ISIL in Syria
The White House says the United States is considering taking the fight against ISIL militants into Syria after targeting the terrorist group in Iraq. ● On Friday, the White House called the group's beheading of American journalist James Foley a "terrorist attack" against the United States, adding that Washington would not be "restricted to borders" in responding to terror threats emerging from ISIL, which is operating in Iraq and Syria. Ben Rhodes [Jew], the deputy national security adviser to President Barack Obama, hinted that any long-term strategy to confront ISIL has to "deal with both sides of the border" of Iraq and Syria.
