By Julie Hirschfeld Davis, New York Times, SouthFloridaReporter.com, Dec. 14, 2015 – Before he hits the beach at the end of the week, President Obama wants to address mounting public concerns about his strategy for confronting terrorism and to show he is focused on the fight, beginning with a visit to the Pentagon today.
Mr. Obama is scheduled to cross the Potomac River this morning and preside over a meeting of his National Security Council at the Department of Defense, where he will receive an update on the offensive against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, and speak to reporters afterward.
White House officials say they do not expect the president to announce a shift in strategy or major developments in the effort, although they routinely note that Mr. Obama is constantly evaluating the situation and ready to adjust policy as necessary.
“If there’s an opportunity for us to intensify efforts behind one aspect of our strategy, then that’s something that he wants his team to be prepared to do,” Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said on Friday.
