\"20140928064559ENPRN148807-F-22A_Raptor_-03-4058-90-1411886759MR\"The execution of U.S. foreign policy that has relied on the use of force and support provided to selected factions, whether in the volatile Middle East or in other hot spots, has been an abject failure. An astronomical cost has been paid with American and foreign lives and currency. The war against the Islamic State will be no different.

Since the beginning of August, the U.S. and allies have conducted over 200 air strikes in Iraq against the Islamic State (ISIL) in support of Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga on the ground.

In recent days, the campaign has expanded to Syria, and along with \”air partners\” have conducted at least 43 strikes to restrict ISIL\’s territorial expansion, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said at a press briefing Friday.

The US military also carried out additional attacks in Syria against an Al Qaeda-linked group known as Khorasan, which were allegedly plotting attacks against the U.S. and its allies, Hagel said.
