Obama takes midterm hit (Result will not impact continuity in Sino-US ties)
The Republicans achieved sweeping midterm election wins on Tuesday,
seizing control of the US Senate in a blow to President Barack Obama
that will limit his political influence and curb his legislative agenda
in his last two years in office, said analysts.
Republicans won in places where Democrats were favored, like a Senate race in North Carolina, pulled out victories where the going was tough, like a Senate battle in Kansas, and swept a number of governors' races in states where Democrats were favored, like Obama's home state of Illinois.

US-led airstrikes fail to deter ISIS advance
US-led coalition air raids targeted areas in Syria controlled by the Islamic State (IS) group Monday, but the group continue to advance on the strategic town of Kobani.
Washington and its Arab allies opened their air assault against the Islamic State extremist group last week, going after its military facilities, training camps, heavy weapons and oil installations. The campaign expands upon the airstrikes the United States has been conducting against the militants in Iraq since early August.

Obama vows more strikes on ISIL in Syria. (the US is not fighting alone)
US President Barack Obama has said that the participation of five
Arab nations in Syria airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL) fighters "makes it clear to the world this is not
America's fight alone".
In a short statement on Tuesday, hours after the first US-led airstrikes hit the group's headquarters in eastern Syria, Obama vowed to continue the fight, which he said was vital to the security of the United States, the Middle East and the world.

destroyed arms and equipment that Islamic State insurgents could have
used to attack Erbil, the Iraqi Kurdish capital, but warned the current
operation in Iraq could take some time.

“This is going to be a long-term project,” he said during a brief news conference before leaving Washington for a two-week vacation in Massachusetts.

Obama makes defiant defense of US restraint. Terrorism remains biggest threat to US
US President Barack Obama mounted a defiant defense of his global
leadership Wednesday, rebuking critics who see him as weak but warning
that not every global threat justifies a US military response.
In a major speech at the West Point military academy, Obama denied US power had ebbed under his watch, after he withdrew troops from Iraq and is doing the same in Afghanistan.
He also pledged to ramp up support for Syrian rebels, vowed to stand up to Russia over Ukraine and promised to make drone strikes against terror suspects more transparent.

Obama: Crimea Referendum Violates International Law
President Barack Obama says new sanctions will "impose a cost" on Russia for its military move into Crimea and that a planned referendum on whether the peninsula should join Russia violates international law and Ukraine's constitution.
Mr. Obama told reporters at the White House an executive order he signed Thursday authorizes sanctions, including visa restrictions, on those who violate Ukraine's territorial integrity or steal the assets of the Ukrainian people.
He said that the steps were taken in "close coordination" with America's European allies, adding that he was "pleased that our international unity is on display at this critical moment."

Carla del Ponte: Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack Carried Out by Rebels. -May 2013 (VIDEO YT 27/8/13)
As the Syrian revolt continues to tear the country apart, the
international community has been eager to condemn Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad, even as it became clear that the rebels do not, in
fact, represent a popular uprising against the oppression of the Assad
regime. According to UN diplomat Carla del Ponte, however, it appears
that the recent chemical weapons attack was carried out by the Syrian
rebels and not the regime, as it had been widely assumed. Speaking to a
Swiss television channel, del Ponte said that there were “strong,
concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof,” that rebels had
carried out the attack. She also said UN investigators had seen no
evidence of the Syrian army using chemical weapons, but that further
investigation was needed (May 2013***).
