                        Obama: US Fights IS With Allies

   by VOA News

   U.S. President Barack Obama says the fight against Islamic State
   militants in Syria and Iraq is not the U.S. fight alone.  The president
   said[1] in his weekly address Saturday the U.S. is fighting the
   insurgents with "contributions from allies and partners."

   He said the American forces he has ordered to Iraq will help give Iraqi
   and Kurdish forces the" training, intelligence and equipment they need
   to take the fight to these terrorists on the ground."

   The U.S. leader said because the United States is "leading the right
   way, more nations are joining" the coalition,  including Arab nations.

   President Obama said the campaign against the Islamic State militant's
   threat is "showing the world the best of American leadership."
