US hardens its stand on eradicating Evil – warns Syria over ISIS missions

President Barack Obama has authorized U.S. airstrikes inside Syria as part of a broad campaign to root out the Islamic State militant group news.fox.com. Of course strikes have not yet been launched but the United States has made it clear that it would retaliate against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's air defenses in case he decided to go after American planes that would be launching airstrikes in his country.
Officials have indicated that the U.S. is aware of location of Syrian air defenses, along with their command and control centers, and if Assad were to use those capabilities to threaten U.S. forces, it would mean inviting trouble and would put his air defenses at risk.
Incidentally, the rise of the Islamic State group to prominence has put President Obama on the brink of being drawn into a Syrian conflict that he has long sought to avoid. The situation is complex for the US to take direct action in foreign soil where the country is locked in an intractable civil war. Obviously, the conflict has created odd alliances, because both the U.S. and the Assad regime are now fighting a common enemy namely, the Islamic State militant group.
However, Obama does not want to strengthen Assad’s hand – rather, he wants to side with the rebels. He wants to train and arm the Western-backed rebels in Syria hoping that they can both fight the Islamic State and, ultimately, the Assad regime.
