White House on Attacks in Iraq
US Embassy Baghdad ^ | June 11, 2014 | Office of the Press Secretary

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
June 11, 2014

Statement by the Press Secretary on Iraq

The United States strongly condemns the recent attacks in Iraq by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). We offer our condolences to the families of those killed and underscore our commitment to assist the Iraqi people as they confront the threat that ISIL poses to Iraq and the region. ISIL’s recent actions in Mosul and surrounding areas demonstrate once again that these extremists seek nothing but death and destruction. The United States will stand with Iraqi leaders across the political spectrum as they forge the national unity necessary to succeed in the fight against ISIL. We will work with Congress to support the new Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund, which will provide flexibility and resources to help Iraq respond to emerging needs as the terrorist threat from ISIL continues to evolve. Under the Strategic Framework Agreement, we will also continue to provide, and as required increase, assistance to the Government of Iraq to help build Iraq’s capacity to effectively and sustainably stop ISIL’s efforts to wreak havoc in Iraq and the region.

Way to late, the middle east has been lost. Are the saudis getting nervous yet.

Yeah, they’ll stand with the leaders of Iraq, down in the basement somewhere, cowering in fear, getting out their spin machines, just like they did with Benghazi.

Apparently, the strategy of announcing your withdrawal date was a colossal act of stupidity. The criticism at the time was that the terrorists would just wait it out until that date.

Didn't see this coming ...

They will swing hardline Islamist before it comes to them. Our ‘friends’ the Saudis will out-jihad the jihadists, and funnel money to them to keep them at bay.

And the blood of all our fallen is on your hands, soetoro. Although we all know too that that’s what islamists wallow in.

Yes, “....we will reach out to the ISIL and implore them not to kill so many people as they take over the whole country. We want to remind you that we would not even care about Iraq if George Bush had not lied..... Maybe we’ll drop a few MREs on the ground for the Iraqi’s to have something to eat....”
