WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama on Monday vowed to pursue a long-term strategy to turn the tide against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), as Iraqi and Kurdish forces retook the Mosul Dam from the group under US air cover.

Obama vows long-term strategy against ISIL

The president, who broke his vacation on the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard, told reporters at the White House that progress had been made since he authorized targeted airstrikes on ISIL militants on Aug. 7.

"Over the last 11 days, American air strikes have stopped the ISIL advance around the city of Irbil, and pushed back the terrorists," he said.

US warplanes began air raids on Friday on ISIL targets near the Mosul Dam, Iraq's largest.

Noting that Iraqi and Kurdish forces recaptured the dam on Monday, Obama said "We will continue to pursue a long-term strategy to turn the tide against ISIL by supporting the new Iraqi government and working with key partners in the region and beyond. "

He said Washington had "urgently" provided additional arms and assistance to Iraqi and Kurdish forces fighting on the front lines.

"This operation demonstrates that Iraqi and Kurdish forces are capable of working together and taking the fight to ISIL," the president remarked. "If they continue to do so, they will have the strong support of the United States of America."

The Obama administration joined last week in forcing out Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, whose policies were blamed for alienating Iraq's Sunnis and Kurds and giving rise to the radical militants. Haider al-Abadi, who won US endorsement as the new premier, is trying to form a new government.

"Over the next few weeks, Dr. al-Abadi needs to complete the work of forming a new, broad-based, inclusive Iraqi government, one that develops a national program to address the interests of all Iraqis," Obama said. "Without that progress, extremists like ISIL can continue to prey upon Iraq's divisions."

He said the US military will continue their limited strikes in northern Iraq and the new Iraqi government can have increased support from the United States and other countries.

The US warplanes have conducted a total of 68 strikes on ISIL targets since Aug 8, with 35 of them in support of Iraqi forces near the Mosul Dam, the US Central Command said on Monday.
