U.S. Hits ISIS Position Near Baghdad in New Phase of Strikes: Official Brett Akop

On Monday, the U.S initiated an airstrike near Baghdad against ISIS militants in Iraq. The airstrike hit an ISIS fighting position along with an attack near Mount Sinjar. "U.S. Central Command later confirmed the airstrikes, saying the airstrike southwest of Baghdad was the first the U.S. has undertaken as part of expanded efforts to "degrade and ultimately destroy" ISIS that President Barack Obama outlined in an address last week. Six ISIS vehicles near Sinjar and an ISIS fighting position southwest of Baghdad that was firing on Iraqi personnel were destroyed, Central Command said." I am glad to see our nations leader taking initiative and making the hard decisions expected of him in his inauguration; however, "The airstrike Monday near Baghdad was more offensive in nature and was not triggered by any advance of ISIS toward the Iraqi capital," There has been plenty of controversy with President Obama and his nonchalant attitude towards our nations pressing issues; mainly coming from our leaders defensive standpoint on war as opposed to the aggressive and offensive approach from many Americans.
