Defense
Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Thursday the U.S.-led air war against
Islamic State militants will intensify in the future as Iraqi ground
forces improve and become more effective.
Defending the U.S.
strategy during a House of Representatives hearing, Hagel said, "As
Iraqi forces build strength, the tempo and intensity of our coalition's
air campaign will accelerate in tandem."
