Dearborn, Michigan / Washington D.C: The declared objective of the US is to degrade and destroy ISIS. In Iraq Washington is conducting airstrikes and relying on allies on the ground to push ISIS out of the territory it now controls. Those allies in turn rely on the US to provide arms and intelligence to their forces, the pesh mergah and the Iraqi central army. But in Syria the US has no allies on the ground to rely on. Will the US coordinate with President Assad’s troops to help degrade and destroy ISIS? The US cannot destroy ISIS unless it confronts the group on both the Iraqi and Syrian fronts. And if President Obama is not willing to have American boots on the ground how will ISIS disintegrate? In Iraq the US found itself in an implicit alliance with Iran fighting ISIS. Will Obama find himself in an unholy alliance with Assad, fighting each other but also fighting a common enemy? These are some of the questions that we will be discussing with our guests in Washington.
