Fight against Islamic State in Iraq is becoming a major ground war - UPI.com
UPI reports: "As the authorities in Western Europe face up to the increased risk of
attacks from Islamic State, arrests have been made in Britain and
security operations in Belgium and France, all point to intensive
government action against the 'new' domestic IS threat.
The popular media narrative is that this is a desperate move from IS as
it retreats in Iraq and Syria – but security professionals take a very
different view."
Comment: While the U.S. news media remains fixated on all things Trump other things have been happening in the world. It could not be made more clear by Iraq and the Pentagon that a new phase in the war against IS is underway and there will be more American boots on the ground. If the majority of Americans (and the world) believe that Obama has been winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are in for a rude surprise.
