   US Defense Officials Plan For Long-Term Strategy To Contain Islamic State

   U.S. defense officials say American air strikes in Iraq have helped
   deter Islamic State militants for the time being, but that a broad
   international effort is needed to defeat the extremists permanently.
   Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel warned Thursday that the group formerly
   known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, is better
   organized, and financially and militarily stronger than any other known
   terrorist group. Zlatica Hoke has more.
