Rep. Schneider Statement on Iraq

Statement

U.S. Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) released the following statement after President Obama's announcement regarding Iraq.

"The United States can not and should not put American troops back into Iraq, but as a nation founded on the principle of tolerance and in opposition to religious repression, we can't stand idly by when as many as 40,000 people are left to starve on a mountain. That's why I support the President's limited airstrikes against ISIS and the airdrop of critically needed humanitarian aid to Iraqi civilians fleeing the brutal attacks of ISIS. The United States must help protect the Yazidis, Christians and others threatened by ISIS simply for their faith."
