“This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort.”

Obama to Compare Plan for ISIS to U.S Fights in Somalia and Yemen

President Obama, in his address to the nation on Wednesday night, will say that the United States’ military action against ISIS will resemble the conflicts that “we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years,” according to excerpts of the speech released by the White House.

Mr. Obama will say that the United States would be leading a broad coalition against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to “degrade, and ultimately destroy” the terrorist group, according to the excerpts.

The excerpts stress that the campaign against ISIS will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil,” Mr. Obama will say, according to the excerpts. “This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort.”
