United States President Barack Obama recruited nine allies in an effort to dismantle the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Wales on Friday.

Aside from the recruitment, Obama also presented the outline of their coordinated strategy using military forces. The U.S. president has been pressured to reveal his strategy for weeks now and the summit on Friday was his medium to reveal what his plans are as a leader for the attacks.

Obama said that he and his allies would like to initially push ISIS back then degrade their capabilities. He noted that narrowing their scope of action will slowly shrink the number of territories they have claimed as their own. Taking out their leadership would be defusing their ability to conduct terrorist attacks.

Threat continues to rise resulting to the President concluding that American airstrikes would be the most reliable as of the moment. He added that attacking the leaders and areas they have conquered would strengthen the Syrian rebels and add more governments from the region to join the fight and hopefully defeat ISIS.

The airstrikes are not yet authorized but Obama noted that such plan is likened to when America attacked Al-Qaeda, therefore limiting the number of military troops sent to the ground.

Experts said Obama's strategy might risk further catching of American soldiers. Another dilemma presented was how the Obama administration could defeat the ISIS without indirectly supporting the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

President Bashar al-Assad is said to be a terrible leader who they think should no longer reign.

The coalition among the United States, Britain, France, Australia, Canada, Poland, Germany, Italy, Denmark and Turkey has released their two-phase strategy. First is to strengthen their allies on the ground while limiting military forces; and second is to attack ISIS militants from above.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also talked about the military troops on the ground. He noted that if there would be more combat troops, it will not be coming from the United States. Instead, it would be from Iraqi security forces, Kurdish pesh merga fighters of from the Syrian rebels who oppose their president.

President Obama also expressed his hope to obtain help from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
