President Obama said it is time for the United States to “start going on some offense” to stop the advances of the Islamic State in the Middle East as he prepared to announce the next phase of the U.S. effort that he said would require additional resources in the region.

“There’s going to be a military element to it,” Obama said in an interview to air Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And what I want people to understand, though, is that over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of ISIL. We are going to systematically degrade their capabilities. We’re going to shrink the territory that they control. And ultimately we’re going to defeat them.”
