Coalition 'needs 2 years to kick out IS from Iraq'
[ARABNEWS] Top officials from 21 countries kicked off talks in London on Thursday on pushing back Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) holy warriors in Iraq and Syria and tackling the growing threat of homegrown holy warriors in Europe. British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said before the meeting that the task of pushing the IS holy warriors back would be slow. "This isn't going to be done in three months or six months. It's going to take a year, two years to push ISIL (IS) back out of Iraq but we are doing the things that need to be done in order to turn the tide," Hammond told Sky News. US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... and Hammond co-hosted the talks. It will be the first time the US-led coalition has met since this month's attacks in Gay Paree against the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo ...  A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...and a supermarket that left 17 people dead. "Terrorists want to drive us apart, but in fact their actions have had the opposite effect, they're bringing us together," Kerry said ahead of the talks. He also called for international action on "the root causes, so that terrorist appeals fall flat and foreign recruits are no longer enticed to go to a place and wreak havoc on it." A US state department official said imported muscle would be a "real focus" of the meeting and that an expert working group would be formed on sharing information to stop holy warriors traveling.
