WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry says Iraq has cleared a major milestone in the fight against the Islamic State militant group by forming a govern- ment that has pledged to ease sectarian tensions in the country. Kerry told reporters Mon- day that the new leadership in Baghdad is the corner- stone of an international strategy to defeat and de- stroy the Sunni insurgency that has overrun parts of northern Iraq and Syria. He said the Islamic State group is now facing a world- wide coalition of nations that is determined to destroy it — whether by military power, or cutting off financial support, or even countering the vicious propaganda that lionizes the insurgents’ mis- sion. Kerry will travel to the Mideast on Tuesday, with stops planned in Saudi Ara- bia and Jordan. $25 = 15 WORDS 1 PHOTO 2 NEWSPAPERS 2 SHOPPERS SPEEDY SALE! & & Vermillion p b Broadcaster Press $2 $25 = 15 15 WO ORD D 1 PHO OTO O H DS O P P 2 EW WS SP P E W W N 2 SHO OPP P H SP SPE PEED DY DY EE E ED ED PA APER RS E R R PE ER RS SA SALE E!

The new plan, however, still won’t commit U.S. troops to a ground war against the brutal insur- gency and will rely heavily for now on allies to pitch in for what could be an extended campaign. Obama’s more aggressive posture — which officials say will target Is- lamic State militants comprehen- sively and not just to protect U.S. interests or help resolve humanitar- ian disasters — reflects a new direc- tion for a president who campaigned to end the war in Iraq and has gener- ally been deeply reluctant to use U.S. military might since he took office in 2009. “Almost every single county on Earth has a role to play in eliminat- ing the ISIL threat and the evil that it represents,” Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters Monday night, using an acronym for the Islamic State. He said nations around the world are seeking to defeat the mili- tancy with a coalition “built to en- dure for the months, and perhaps years, to come.” The U.S. has already launched more than 100 airstrikes against mili- tant targets in Iraq, including a new series that the military said killed an unusually large number of Islamic State fighters. A Central Command statement Monday said the strikes hit targets near the Haditha Dam, and a spokesman, Maj. Curtis Kel- logg, said 50 to 70 fighters were tar- geted and most were believed to have been killed. Now, after the beheadings of two American freelance journalists, Obama is considering expanding the airstrikes campaign into Syria, where the Islamic State has a safe haven. Obama has long avoided taking mili- tary action in Syria, concerned about indirectly assisting President Bashar Assad and his government in Damas- cus. But White House spokesman Josh Earnest suggested Monday that the U.S. could be moving in that di- rection, saying Obama was willing “to go wherever is necessary to strike those who are threatening Americans.” Obama is to describe his plans in a speech on Wednesday. By that time, Kerry will be headed to Saudi Arabia and Jordan to meet with Mideast leaders and gauge their level of commitment to a growing world- wide coalition that is uniting against the Islamic State. Kerry said nations from Canada to Estonia to Kuwait to Australia have already contributed a mix of assistance. As he weighs his next move, Obama was soliciting advice Monday from prominent foreign policy ex- perts from across the political spec- trum over dinner at the White House. Among the guests invited to join Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were former national security advisers from the Obama, George W. Bush, Clinton and Carter administra- tions, as well as Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass and former Acting CIA Director Michael Morrell. In a call Monday evening, Obama congratulated new Iraqi Prime Minis- ter Haider al-Abadi for the approval of a new government. The White House said al-Abadi “expressed his commitment to work with all com- munities in Iraq as well as regional and international partners to strengthen Iraq’s capabilities” to fight the Islamic State militants. Yet beyond airstrikes, much of the international strategy against the Islamic State covers the same ground as it has for the past several months. Two senior U.S. officials said it will continue to curb foreign fighters and funding flowing to militants, aim to persuade the new government in Baghdad that was seated Monday to give more power to its Sunni citizens in hopes of discouraging them from joining the insurgency, and strengthen Iraqi government forces and moderate Syrian rebels in their respective battles against the Islamic State. Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have for months worked to combat the Is- lamic State either by sharing intelli- gence, sending humanitarian aid, providing military assistance to rebels, or punishing suspected for- eign fighters. Broadened U.S. airstrikes would help cover Iraqi mil- itary forces, particularly the Pesh- merga forces in the country’s Kurdish north, and Western-backed elements of the Syrian opposition, aiming to help them make gains against the militants. But Western leaders still appear divided on whether to launch airstrikes in Syria. U.S. officials said Obama is leaning toward doing so as part of an international effort, and British Prime Minister David Cameron last week said he has not ruled them out. It’s likely that the airstrikes, if they occur, would aim to avoid any of Assad’s aircraft, landing strips or other assets that are part of Damascus’ campaign to attack Sunni rebel groups that include the Islamic State. Obama is also expected to press congressional lawmakers to approve $500 million in lethal aid to the Syrian rebels. He proposed the aid earlier this year, but his request has stalled on Capitol Hill. The U.S. also has pressured Sunni rulers in Qatar to prosecute private financiers in their nations who are be- lieved to be funneling money to the militants. And the West is pressing Turkey to shut its borders with Syria and Iraq to restrict the travel of Is- lamic State militants and keep foreign fighters from joining the battle. In Cairo, meanwhile, the 22-nation Arab League agreed to take urgent measures to combat the Islamic State through political, defense, security and legal means. A resolution outlin- ing the league’s intent did not specify how that might happen, and it did not explicitly back American military ac- tion against the extremists. The bulk of the strategy is ex- pected to be hammered out later this month at the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly, where a Western diplomat said it’s possible the world leaders will adopt a new Security Council resolution on how to deal with the Islamic State. That would give the Obama and his allies the legal cover and broad inter- national backing they desire to launch airstrikes. But two U.S. officials cautioned Monday that Obama may not wait until then, and he has remained non- committal about the prospect of seek- ing congressional authorization for an expanded mission. He also did not seek congressional approval for the strikes underway in Iraq, citing a re- quest for military assistance from the Iraqi government and the need to pro- tect U.S. personnel in the country. Stagnant Pay Still Hurting Job Market WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market has steadily improved by pretty much every gauge except the one Americans probably care about most: Pay. The unemployment rate has sunk to a nearly nor- mal 6.1 percent. Employers have added a robust 2.5 million jobs the past 12 months. Layoffs have tum- bled. Yet most people are still waiting for a decent raise. Friday’s August jobs report confirmed that average hourly pay has crept up only about 2 percent a year since the recession ended five years ago — barely above inflation and far below the gains in most re- coveries. Just why pay has been so weak and when it might strengthen are key issues for the Federal Reserve in deciding when to raise in- terest rates. The trend has mystified analysts. “This is the primary economic and policy puz- zle facing policymakers right now: Why have wages remained so low in the face of an improving economy?” said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at McGladrey, a tax and accounting firm. Some economists ex- pect pay to pick up eventu- ally as the job market keeps improving. They think wages have lagged because millions of people are still out of work — many of whom aren’t counted in the unemploy- ment rate because they’re no longer looking for a job. But others say they fear that pay has stagnated be- cause of trends that will persist even after the econ- omy has moved closer to full health. They note that compa- nies have been making more use of temporary and part-time workers, usually at lower pay, to replace full-time permanent jobs. And newer technologies have enabled businesses to produce more with fewer employees.
