He added: “I can’t differentiate angels demons, heart’s disintegrating. I ain’t got normal feelings.” The Associated Press update: Obama faces tug military action Syria WASHINGTON (AP) — For three years, President Barack Obama resisted pull potential U.S. military action Syria. He held firm even civil war’s death toll climbed toward 200,000, Syrian government used chemical weapons civilians Islamic State militants strengthened amid chaos. Now Obama must decide whether extremist group’s murder American journalist James Foley, well broader threat group could pose U.S. interests, change cautious calculus. Pressure coming military leaders go Islamic State inside Syria. But must weigh aversion risks could come plunging United States country torn apart intractable internal conflict. White House officials suggested airstrikes Syria option, though officials say specific military proposals yet presented president. “We’re actively considering what’s going necessary deal threat, we’re going restricted borders,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser. “We’ve shown time there’s counterterrorism threat, we’ll take direct action threat, necessary.” Even Foley’s murder, Obama found far different footing Middle East probably expected sixth year presidency. After running White House pledge end Iraq war making good promise late 2011, Obama thrust U.S. military back Iraq month limited airstrike campaign Islamic State targets. Obama said send U.S. combat troops another ground war Mideast. But expanding airstrikes Iraq broadening include Syria could mean lengthy American military commitment region could consume much Obama’s remaining time office. “What learned past dozen years part world use military power unpredictable,” said Stephen Walt, professor international affairs Harvard’s John F.

Syria host military players close proximity other, including Islamic State, al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front, mainstream Western-backed rebels pro-government forces. The Islamic State among groups fighting Assad, meaning U.S. campaign weaken extremists could actually strengthen leader White House sought push office. Obama could try counteract uncomfortable dynamic also taking strikes Assad, though could put U.S. hook kind long-term commitment rebuilding Syria tried avoid.

It also could give militants space strengthen become threat U.S. interests region, also U.S. home. Obama’s military leadership made clear recent days threat Islamic State cannot fully eliminated without going group Syria, well Iraq. “This organization apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision eventually defeated,” said Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman Joint Chiefs Staff. “Can defeated without addressing part organization resides Syria? The answer no. That addressed sides essentially point nonexistent border.” To White House critics, unappetizing options result Obama’s foreign policy missteps. They argue gave extremists opening Iraq reach agreement Iraqi government leave U.S. forces country 2011. They say decision provide heavy weaponry moderate rebel groups Syria also helped facilitate Islamic State’s rise. Without course correction, Obama’s critics argue, U.S. greater risk. “If assist Iraqi partners moderate Syrians fighting ISIL directly target ISIL’s leadership networks Iraq Syria, I fear James Foley American die hands,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., using one acronyms Islamic State. Obama’s advisers say responsibility stemming rise Islamic State rest solely United States. The White House imploring Sunni states region — Saudi Arabia, Jordan United Arab Emirates particular — wield influence tribal leaders Iraq get push Islamic State areas occupied. The U.S. also discussing ways allies Britain, France, Australia Canada become involved intelligence sharing, military assistance Kurdish forces Iraq moderate opposition forces Syria, necessary, joining U.S. military action.
