?Iraq is our main effort, and it has to be, and the things that we?re doing
right now in Syria are being done primarily to shape the conditions in
Iraq,? General Lloyd Austin, the US commander overseeing the air strikes
against Iraq and Syria told an October 17 Washington press conference.

latest US-war in the Middle East ? the ultra-violent terrorist group that
calls itself ?the Islamic State? (IS) ? is being won in the Kurdish town of
Kobane on the Syrian-Turkish border.
