The United States thought to be able to put in the fight against Islamic State (IS). More than 5,000 rebels in Syria within a year The moderate rebels can be trained. Saudi Arabia The Americans want $ 500 billion made available for grooming the fighters, said spokesman John Kirby from the Pentagon yesterday.

Before the training sessions can take place the United States should recruit potential candidates and assess. That is a difficult process, because the opposition in Syria is not a whole. “It is an unrecognized force. There is no leader of the opposition, especially in military terms, “says Kirby. It may take months, according to him before training can begin.

The United States focus their military actions especially in the leadership of IS, said Kirby. The United States is also about to ‘aggressive efforts “regarding bombing, said Kirby.

The American government has the language on combating IS tightened. What it was about an action-terrorism first, is now also used the term war. Spokesman Josh Earnest from The White House compares the fight against IS with those against Al-Qaeda. Previously, the term war was always avoided.
