Morning Brief: September 10
Happy Wednesday, Here's Some News
President Obama's going on TV later tonight, at 9 p.m. to talk about ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. He's going to explain why the administration considers the militant group a threat, and what they're planning to do about it. Some government officials are saying this means airstrikes in Syria. He might find support for that, because a new poll shows many Americans view ISIS as a threat. All of this comes after President Obama was criticized by just about everyone for saying "We don't have a strategy yet," for dealing with ISIS in the region.
