Obama to Announce Plan Against Islamic State Group


President Obama will speak to the American people on Wednesday. He will talk about plan to deal with the threat from Islamic State militants 8.


He told NBC News that he will talk about the need to, in his words, “go on the offense” against the extremist group.  The group has taken control of parts of Iraq and Syria.


He said the United States would not act alone but would be part of an international coalition.  He said the coalition would carry out airstrikes and support Iraqi and Kurdish troops fighting the militants.  He has said he does not plan to deploy 9 the U.S. army.
