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?
Let me add to the timeline:
In January, President Barack Obama dismissed the terrorist group ISIS as a "JV Team" that didn't pose a real threat to America.
“The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant. I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.”
The remarks made in an interview with New Yorker may very well come back to haunt Obama as the latest ISIS atrocities come to light.
a video apparently showing the barbaric beheading of American journalist James Foley at the hands of ISIS was posted to YouTube under the heading "A Message To America." The video also included the al Qaeda affiliated group making an audacious challenge to President Obama after showing Journalist Steven Joel Sotloff on camera.
