\"\"Barack Obama meets with generals from 22 countries as Isil fighters advance in western Iraq.<\/p>\n

The US military admitted last night that Isil “has tactical momentum on several fronts” as jihadist forces continued to make advances in both Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n

American warplanes dramatically escalated strikes against Isil fighters laying siege to the Syrian town of Kobane but have so far been unable to push the jihadists back.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Isil forces surrounded a major airbase in western Iraq and are threatening to overrun government forces there.<\/p>\n

The jihadists’ endurance on the battlefield in both countries raises questions about whether the American-led air campaign is succeeding in meeting President Barack Obama’s goal of “defeating and ultimately destroying Isil”.<\/p>\n

Mr Obama met with a war council of generals from 22 countries last night to discuss the coalition effort against the jihadists.<\/p>\n
