Hariri Center Resident Fellow Faysal Itani is quoted by Reuters on the beheading of American journalist James Foley and the Obama Administration’s policy toward ISIS:
“The effort to roll (Islamic State) back into (Syria) is a commitment the administration has been unwilling to make,” said Faysal Itani, a Middle East expert at the Atlantic Council, a Washington think tank. “The death of this man, however tragic, will not cause a fundamental recalculation of that policy.”
