In December of 2011, the United States withdrew all remaining combat troops from Iraq. After eight years of war, the United States turned the responsibility for the defense of Iraq over to the Iraqi security forces. Iraq immediately saw the rise of sectarian violence among Sunnis and Shia. This nation also saw the reemergence of the insurgency known as Al Qaeda in Iraq in the northwest portion of the country. The problems in Iraq grew with the igniting of a civil war in the neighboring nation of Syria. This civil war allowed for members of Al-Qaeda in Iraq to spread to and develop in an unstable area and emerging as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, ISIS. Within twelve months, ISIS grew by creating of an organizational structure, engaging in violent military campaigns, developing an economy and establishing successful recruitment techniques. ISIS now controls large swaths of territory in both northwest Iraq and Eastern Syria. Political leadership in the United States is now debating what action should be taken to combat the terror group ISIS. To prevent ISIS from harming our national security, to stop the threat of international terrorism and to stop the destruction of Iraq and its people The United States should send ground troops to Iraq to combat ISIS.
Many people do not think the government should send troops to Iraq to stop the threat of ISIS becoming a national threat to the United States. The Obama administration has focused on bombing ISIS and training
The continued threats of Isis are a growing foreign policy problem in the United States.
Isis has 30,000 fighters( “Isis trail of terror”). February 2015, Isis had 20,00 more foreign fighters who had come to help( “Isis trail of terror”). Not including 150 from the United State. Isis is spreading into Syria, Iraq, and towards Baghdad tormenting the sick, and killing people till they decide to join their side ( “Isis trail of terror”).Obama said, “ Let's be clear about Isis, they have rampaged across cities beheading people in cowardly acts of violence.”( “Isis trail of terror”). Isis is growing bigger and bigger each second, and only we can stop it.
President Obama is one of those people who does not obtain the desire to send troops to fight Isis, for he expresses this opinion in his statement, “This is not a traditional military opponent, we can retake territory and as long as we keep our troops there we can hold it. But that does not solve the underlying problem of eliminating the dynamics that are producing these kinds of violent, extremist groups,” (“Obama Won’t Send,” 2015). President Obama has been faced with war decisions on terrorism prior to Isis with the terrorist group, Al Qaeda. When Barack Obama became president, he sent most of America’s ground troops in Iraq home to their families. He then announced the United States was no longer pursuing a War on Terror, but rather focusing the military on specific enemies. This war tactic ended in success, given the Navy SEALs raided the Al Qaeda leader’s compound. Navy SEALs then shot and killed Al Qaeda’s leader, Osama Bin
The United States, with its coalition partners, has committed to degrade and destroy the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). This group poses a threat to the people of the Middle East, as well as to the United States, our allies, and interests in the region. If this terrorist organization is left uninterrupted, ISIL will grow, threatening the surrounding areas of the Middle East, our allies abroad, and the United States.
ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It is referred as a terrorist group by the United States, whereas ISIS considers themselves to be an army instead. ISIS has been responsible for many gruesome attacks all over the world one of them being the execution of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh. They originated from Al-Qaeda in Iraq but they had big ambitions by kicking America out and setting up an Islamic state. To this date hold their land there unlike other groups like Al-Qaeda and Taliban. They have a huge support from people as their count being over 30,000 soldiers and followers. They are heavily armed, can fund themselves, have an organized infrastructure, and can cause a lot of damage. Later in 2006, their brutality lost them the support of Iraqi Sunnis who partnered with US forces to help push them out of the country. And for this incident, America takes a lot of credit for this and call it the Surge in which they helped Sunnis rise up against Al-Qaeda in Iraq’s rule. This led to Al-Qaeda in Iraq being defeated but not destroyed by only being driven out of the land they used to control and later they began rebuilding themselves by being involved in the fighting in Syria as they were trying to throw the Shiite Assad regime. Due to their brutal and severe tactics, Al-Qaeda disavowed Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Later in February 2014, the group Al-Qaeda in Iraq
continues to grow and threaten the stability of Iraq and neighboring Syria, the U.S. has again
In recent months, the United States accompanied with several allies have been forging a fight against ISIS in Iraqi and Syria. The allied troops have been extremely successful in wreaking havoc against the enemy–killing ISIS fighters, reducing ISIS cash flow, and causing the group to abandon a large portion of their controlled areas. There are approximately 5,000 American troops at any given time in these territories and President Obama wants and intends to deploy more. The United States should not send more troops to fight against ISIS because, we were just involved in the Iraqi War, home soil will be left vulnerable, and intervening doesn't always lead to benefit.
A CNN poll was done and stated that 64% say the U.S. should send ground troops to Iraq or Syria to fight Isis. Also 18% say that the U.S need to do more with the fight against Isis.Isis isn’t going to be stopped by doing nothing,we need to send ground troops and defeat them before they can do more attacks. Some may argue that airstrike are working fine to eliminate targets but if this is true why are attacks still happening.Isis is still growing even though we're doing airstrike against them if other country are backing out of the airstrike too they be able to become even stronger.We need to send troops to be able to control them and then eliminate
The controversy over whether the United States should take stronger military action against ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) has been discussed the past few months. The public opinion has grown more favorable to taking stronger action; however, there is a minority of people that still believe the Unites States should stay out of war as long it can. If the United States avoids war, then ISIS will become a bigger threat to the country than it already is. The Unites States should take stronger military force against ISIS. ISIS has proven to be a very powerful threat to our country and other countries around the world; if they are not stopped, ISIS will continue to aim danger at our country and our people.
President Obama’s strategic plan in Iraq and Syria is to continue Airstrikes to slow the forward progression of ISIS, while utilizing deployed U.S. service members to work with coalition partners to assist with partner building capacities. These partners include “Iraqi Security Forces, Kurdish Peshmerga forces, and moderate Syrian fighters, and both Sunni and Shia militia groups.”3 To be successful in this endear as mentioned by Sec Carter, “the only way to have a lasting defeat of ISIL is to have someone who can govern and secure territory once ISIL is defeated, a local force on the ground. That 's why the strategy calls for the United States to help train and equip, and then help enable local ground forces.”4 Without basic security the Government of Iraq (GOI)
53%of Americans say the U.S should send ground troops to Iraq or Syria to fight against ISIS, poll taken by CNN politics. Although the U.S shouldn’t be fighting against a religious ISIS is also a terrorist group. 60% of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s handling of terrorism poll taken by CNN politics. This Country needs to put ground troops in Syria to denaturalize the threat that is ISIS.
Isis is a big problem in society that needs to be eliminated The U.S. Isis is a dangerous anti American society who is causing trouble in Syria, Iraq, and even her in the u.s. Isis has done plenty of mass murders and shootings that have caused lives. The main problem with them is that they are infiltrating the U.S which is a major threat to society considering they are only here to cause damage.
To respond to ISIS current threats to America’s ally, France, increased surveillance via national troops on French and American territory. If France’s military is not large enough to provide necessary troops to be able to surveillance their territories, we will step in as reinforcement and provide additional security. No bombing or use of explosive forces will be used to combat ISIS unless a necessary and true threat persists. Under this policy it is crucial to understand that containing ISIS and coexisting is better than creating another wave of nuclear destruction and terrorism on American soil. ISIS recruitment processes has transitioned from hundreds of supporters traveling to Syria and Iraq to join, to creating smaller but threatening
Why has Islamic radicalization increased in a Muslim-majority country in Europe and what has fueled its growth in one of Europe’s poorest countries? Is it because of a lack of hope for the future for many young Kosovars? Kosovo, a country in the Balkans, which claimed independence in 2008 and was embroiled in ethnic violence that resulted in genocide from 1989, now has to face the threat of the growth of Islamic radicalization in one of Europe’s only majority-Muslim countries.(Kosovo Facts) As Kosovo is not a member of the United Nations and not recognized as a country by many countries such as Russia, the country is very isolated from the rest of the world and along with having to rebuild from the war, Kosovo is one of Europe’s
Imagine waking up one morning, walking out of your house, and seeing men with rifles walking up and down the streets of your neighborhood. The armed men directing traffic, checking businesses, telling the women how to dress. It would not be a pleasant morning would it? This is what Syria and Iraq have been experiencing with the Islamic State taking over the two countries. The armed men telling people what to do, inspecting everything, and controlling all the movement is the least of Syria and Iraq’s problems. The Islamic state has committed various acts of violence in both countries. The Islamic State has to be put to a stop if not by the countries surrounding it, than by the United States before it causes more destruction in other places.
