Costa Reacts to President's Speech on ISIL Strategy

Statement

Congressman Jim Costa (Fresno-D) released the following statement after President Obama's speech on the Administration's strategy to degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL.

"ISIL is a very real threat that must be dealt with in a focused and decisive manner. They are attempting to gain territory, arms and the financial means to continue carrying out barbaric atrocities," said Rep. Jim Costa."We must come together to form a coalition, with both domestic and international support, to destroy this terrorist organization. It is imperative that we learn from past mistakes and engage in a strategy that uses our strengths," continued Costa. "I look forward to a full debate in Congress."
