Mid to late August 2014: ISIS beheads a U.S. journalist.

September 22, 2014: The U.S. with several Arab countries, including Saudia Arabia, The U.A.E., and Jordan, begin strikes against ISIS in Syria.

September 26: The British Parliment votes in favor of using military force to combat ISIS.

Early October, 2014: Australia sends fighters to assist in fight against ISIS.

October 7, 2014: Canadian Parliment votes to join coalition to fight ISIS.

Late January 2015: in the State of the Union address, President Obama asks Congress for formal authorization to fight ISIS.

February 3, 2015: ISIS releases a video of them burning a Jordanian pilot to death. Jordan, in response, executes 2 terrorist prisoners.

September 22,2014- present:The air strikes against ISIS have continued.

Is that about right?

It is a good summary of US involvement but leaves out the contributions and involvement of many other countries but not sure what your point is.

My wife is a lawyer so I know when to recognize I am being led into a trap just come out and say it.
