War on terror

Obama Needs an ISIS War Czar Before It’s Too Late


Thick smoke and flames from an airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition rise in Kobani, Syria, as seen from a hilltop on the outskirts of Suruc, at the Turkey-Syria border, Monday, Oct. 20, 2014. Back in Washington, the White House should reestablish a “war czar” position at the National Security Council. The ‘war czar’ position would be distinct from Gen. John Allen’s efforts to pull together the multinational coalition to support the anti-ISISefforts. Congress can help by pressing the Obama administration not only on the need for more manpower and firepower against ISIS, but also on the lack of a civil-military campaign plan and a coherent architecture to prosecute this fight.
