Syrian Coalition: U.S Strategy to Fight Terrorism is Still Unclear

Nora al-Ameer, vice president of the Syrian Coalition, said that President Obama’s remarks made during the press conference held today in Tallinn, Estonia, have not outlined a clear strategy for the fight against terrorism in Syria and the region. “The American position is still lacks stopping the killing machines of ISIS and the Assad regime against the Syrian people. President Obama’s remarks lack a clear vision in addressing the threat posed by the terrorism of ISIS and the Assad regime in the region due to the absence of political will in dealing with the conflict in Syria.” It is worth noting that the press conference held by the American President followed a new wave of bipartisan criticism of his announcement last week that the United States does not yet have a strategy to confront ISIS. Al Ameer also said that “the Obama administration should realize that stemming the tide of terrorism can only be achieved when both the Assad regime and ISIS are designated as targets for any possible military action. Moreover, fighting terrorism in the region is impossible bear fruit if the Free Syrian Army is not empowered, especially after it proved itself as a bulwark against terrorism that have swept the region.” (Source: Syrian Coalition)
