Stutzman Responds to President Obama's National Address on ISIS

Statement

U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman issued the following statement about the President's national address on ISIS.

"I am pleased that President Obama decided to address the entire nation about the need to confront ISIS. They are well armed, well funded, and will only continue to threaten the United States and our allies so long as they exist. This is not a group that can be managed. They need to be destroyed.

"However, we cannot do this alone. The United States has made great sacrifices for the Iraqi people and it is well past time for them to take charge and win this fight for their future. I am hopeful the formation of a new Iraqi government under Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, is the beginning of a political reconciliation that can unite a country so deeply divided along sectarian lines.

"I will continue to pray for our service members and their families who sacrifice so much on our behalf."
