SUBJECT: Plan to Defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
The
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is not the only threat from
radical Islamic terrorism that the United States faces, but it is among
the most vicious and aggressive. It is also attempting to create its
own state, which ISIS claims as a “caliphate.” But there can be no
accommodation or negotiation with it. For those reasons I am directing
my Administration to develop a comprehensive plan to defeat ISIS.
ISIS
is responsible for the violent murder of American citizens in the
Middle East, including the beheadings of James Foley, Steven Sotloff,
and Peter Abdul-Rahman Kassig, as well as the death of Kayla Mueller.
In addition, ISIS has inspired attacks in the United States, including
the December 2015 attack in San Bernardino, California, and the June
2016 attack in Orlando, Florida. ISIS is complicit in a number of
terrorist attacks on our allies in which Americans have been wounded or
killed, such as the November 2015 attack in Paris, France, the March
2016 attack in Brussels, Belgium, the July 2016 attack in Nice, France,
and the December 2016 attack in Berlin, Germany.
ISIS
has engaged in a systematic campaign of persecution and extermination
in those territories it enters or controls. If ISIS is left in power,
the threat that it poses will only grow. We know it has attempted to
develop chemical weapons capability. It continues to radicalize our own
citizens, and its attacks against our allies and partners continue to
mount. The United States must take decisive action to defeat ISIS.
Sec. 1. Policy. It is the policy of the United States that ISIS be defeated.
Sec.
2. Policy Coordination. Policy coordination, guidance, dispute
resolution, and periodic in-progress reviews for the functions and
programs described and assigned in this memorandum shall be provided
through the interagency process established in National Security
