"Barack Obama has told the American people that his strategy against ISIS is working; yet he has refused to lay out a cohesive strategy. And now he blames the Pentagon for not having a strategy; when, in fact, the Pentagon has proposed a number of strategies to employ against ISIS. "- See more at: The Right Planet

File this next under "dubious":
Thousands of US paratroops head for Iraq. Tehran braces for onset of ISIS terror attacks on cities 
Other sources have this as well, as DEBKAfile often needs corroboration
From DEBKAfile.
Also in  Israel News Cloud
Global Geopolitics  carries this same story, but all sources link to DEBKAfile.  This does not seem in character with Obama, whom I feel would like to stall this all until he is out of office. Then he can criticize the next administration for messing up the beautiful foreign policy he bequeathed to them.
If you don't believe that, then tell me where have you been the past seven years. TD


Max Boot: Obama Embraces Hope But Little Change in Iraq . . . " If the administration were really serious about defeating ISIS, it would have to lift the rules that prevent American personnel from going into battle with Iraqi forces and calling in air strikes. It would also have to be prepared to order US Special Operations Forces to engage ISIS directly, staging regular raids like the one that recently killed an ISIS mid-level leader in Syria. In addition, it would have to mount a major political initiative to give the Sunnis a reason to fight ISIS by assuring them that they will not again be subjugated to extremist Shiite rule. Oh, and the administration would also have to come up with some strategy for fighting ISIS in Syria — and in far-flung lands such as Libya, where the Islamic State is now expanding." . . .
