[ARABNEWS] IS the Islamic State (IS), that brutal group of caliphniks whose recruits seem possessed of a philistine's sense of where Islamic values and Arab culture intersect, about to get beheaded? I certainly hope so.
President B.O. did not have to try hard in order to convince Americans to back a new, expanded campaign of Arclight airstrikes against IS in Iraq and Syria by giving a speech to the nation about the issue last Wednesday, three hours before the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Americans appear to overwhelmingly view the terrorist group now rampaging in the Levant as a serious threat to US interests, and support for military action has widened dramatically in just the past few weeks, certainly since the gruesome beheading of two American journalists.
