To address the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) problem, U.S. President Barack Obama is set to convince war-weary Americans on Wednesday and the congressional leaders on Tuesday that his administration can build up an international coalition to defeat the Islamic group.

Foreshadowing the speech he will present on the eve of the 9/11 attack anniversary, President Obama said in an interview with NBC that the Sunni states in the region have to step up their efforts in beating ISIS.

His administration hopes to enlist the support of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and other Gulf Leaders for the anti-ISIS coalition, citing that these countries need to be involved in countering terrorism in their region.

The complex politics of the region, however, have some critics saying that the White House anti-ISIS agenda will not be an easy sell.

Analyst Ramzy Mardini of the Washington Policy group said that no Arab leader would want to publicly partner with the "Great Satan", a popular Islamic reference to the United States, and the "Crusaders" in fighting a war in the region.

Former CIA national intelligence officer Paul Pillar told Bloomberg that the principal challenge for enlisting Arab participation is the reluctance of the Gulf Leaders to "support what they regard as the wrong side of sectarian civil wars."

Even the NATO members of the recently formed anti-ISIS coalition are treading cautiously.

While the Obama administration succeeded in enlisting the nine NATO allies last week to fight the radical Sunni insurgency in the Middle East, the coalition is yet to set out a coordinated military strategy.

France and the UK, although have initially promised support in the U.S. airstrike campaign, have recently confirmed that they will not be sending warplanes to the region.

With the political fallout in Afghanistan and Russia's intervention in Ukraine, U.S. allies have more fronts to wrestle with than the terrorism threats emerging from the territories controlled by the Islamic State group.

Secretary of State John Kerry is bound for the Middle East this week to negotiate support for a united Arab front against the Islamic State jihadists.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is set to enlist Turkey's support for the anti-ISIS coalition.

Turkey, the only Syria-bordering NATO ally may prove cautious of working with the U.S. because the Islamic State group holds 49 people captive after the June attack of the Turkish consulate in Iraq.

According to analysts, both Kerry and Hagel are bound to deal with the complicated political landscapes of the region.
