Obama wants a war of ten years against ISIL

Written by Nasser Kandil,

Those who are studying the magnitude of the American intervention to confront ISIL, its scale , speed , and its quality, have come to one of two conclusions, either to talk about a country of the Third World that does not have the capabilities of intervention beyond its borders, or that America which is based on an idea and an ability to intervene, its actions do not correspond with its claims, because of the horror and the panic of threat, which ISIL pretends that it represents America’s interests, its concept of the national security, and the international peace and security.

If the military strikes were close to a flick on the existence of ISIL and its spread near the Kurdish areas, then it cannot reflect the image of the American attitude. And if the American speech has conclusions which are better than the military action, then naturally the conclusion based on the declaration of the American President of a long-term war with ISIL and a century which hardly tolerates ISIL survival , will be a psychological war to the account of ISIL and moving it to the level of the major powers.

What does the American want from announcing the war and not wading in, from excluding every active power in the war away from the alliance presence, from the continuation of incitement of the war against Syria, from the priority of Ukraine and solving its crisis, from the attained nuclear understanding with Iran, and from the accomplishment of the withdrawal from Afghanistan?

The American wants an open long–term war in the region, its borders can be controlled by fire, as happened with the intervention to draw a Red Line around Erbil, a war that is undertaken by ISIL, a war that consumes Saudi and Gulf money and their armies, and dislocates the social structure of every force in the region, As a result, Egypt will interfere to protect Saudi Arabia and becomes a partner in the attrition, Jordan may fall and become a battlefield, and Syria remains exhausting.

What the American wants is to sell weapons, draws borders and maps, makes deals and understandings under the fire, passes changes and modifications under the smoke of the fires , and leaving the region as carved dead body, which  its wars are handled by The General Intelligence which becomes busy in the chaos of war.

A ten-year war under control, is an American plan as the Russians say , and those who expected the American track to conduct their war against ISIL , will be pounced upon by ISIL before that happens.
