Rep. Beatty Statement on President Obama’s Speech on the Growing Threat of ISIL

Sep 10, 2014
Press Release

“Tonight a war-weary nation heard from our President about the growing threat posed by ISIL.  President Obama presented a plan to lead a comprehensive counterterrorism strategy to dismantle the threat ISIL poses to the region and the United States. While the military, humanitarian, and political crisis in Iraq and Syria is deeply troubling and worsening by the day; the President made clear that there is no safe haven for terrorists and there is no hesitation to take actions against ISIL.  A clear plan of welcoming Congressional input, working with a broad coalition of partners, placing 475 troops in Iraq and committing US air strikes was laid out.”
