John Kerry, US Secretary of State:
“We have been very clear from the beginning. We will not allow geography or borders to prevent us from being able to take actions against ISIL. And we will not allow that they have safe haven and sanctuary against accountability. We will hold them responsible for their grotesque atrocities. And we will not allow these terrorists to find a safe haven anywhere. That is president Obama’s resolve. If left unchecked, ISIL is not only threat to the stability of Iraq and to the region, but it also a threat to countries elsewhere including here.”Credit: Luiz Rampelotto/EuropaNewswire
John Kerry, US Secretary of State:
“More than fifty countries have now agreed to join the effort to combat ISIL including the Arab countries that joined us last night in taking military action in Syria. The overall effort is going to take time, there are challenges ahead but we are going to do what is necessary to take the fight to ISIL to begin to make it clear that terrorism and extremism does not have a place in building a civilized society and we will work with our friends in Iraq in order to make certain that their choice to move forward in democratic and viable way will bear fruit and be supported by the international community.”
