AUSTRALIA would likely only commit warplanes to strike Islamic State terrorists in Iraq as part of a coalition involving the US and other nations, the head of a leading strategic think tank says.
PETER Jennings, executive director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said the possibility of greater US involvement was being debated in Washington.
"In order for Australia to become involved, we'd need to see a concerted Western approach, which would involve the US, UK, possibly France and maybe one or two other countries," he told ABC TV.Mr Jennings said Australia committed 14 F/A-18 Hornet aircraft to take part in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. They conducted about 300 missions.He said the RAAF's new Super Hornets were significantly more capable and would likely be the aircraft of choice for such a deployment.Mr Jennings said it was imperative the West took appropriate steps to deal with the Islamic State."This is a group which cannot be allowed to consolidate power. It presents too great a risk to too many countries and in time something will need to be done," he said.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
