Gibson condemns U.S. action against Iraq

By: WNYT Staff
Republican Congressman Chris Gibson of Kinderhook is condemning the action the United States is taking against Iraq.
In a statement released on Friday, the congressman said:

The U.S. should not be escalating action in Iraq. While I support humanitarian assistance to religious minorities in Northern Iraq, beyond that the U.S. role should be focused on diplomatic support as they form a new government, as required by their Constitution following their recent April election.

We have considerable leverage to influence Iraq to form an inclusive government that respects minorities and follows the rule of law. These are the decisive factors to a viable, secure and flourishing Iraq.
