President Obama will be holding a televised conference tomorrow night.
He's expected to address the nation in regards to a plan that includes continued U.S. air strikes, counter-terrorism actions, aid from other nations, and military training and assistance to moderates in Iraq and Syria.
Iraq announced its new government yesterday. This is something that Obama and other leaders have been pushing for months. It's believed by many that Iraqi PM Maliki's discriminatory policies in favor of Shiites overs Sunnis was a major contributing factor to IS's recruitment success and growing strength in the country. Hopefully, a more secular government can truly be established and will motivate more Iraqis to resist IS.
Should be an interesting national address on the eve of the 9 / 11 anniversary.
