Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on the situation in Iraq.
“Putting U.S. troops back on the ground in Iraq is not an option, but there is a clear humanitarian crisis, with ISIS committing mass murder against Christians, Kurds, and other religious minorities. It is tragic that the President did not act earlier, when I suggested he use armed drones to prevent many of these atrocities. Now it’s a tougher challenge, with limited options such as air strikes, to prevent the slaughter of these innocent people.".
