  • This house supports a ‘scorched earth policy’ approach in combatting ISIS

    Infoslide

    A scorched earth policy is a military strategy that targets anything that might be useful to the enemy while advancing through or withdrawing from an area. Specifically all of the assets that are used or can be used by the enemy are targeted such as food sources transportation communications industrial resources and even the people in the area. The practice can be carried out by the military in enemy territory or in its own home territory. It may overlap with but is not the same as punitive destruction of the enemy’s resources which is done for purely political reasons rather than strategic/operational reasons.
