BOSTON — Warning against a new U.S. war in Iraq, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Friday stood by President Barack Obama’s decision to authorize targeted airstrikes to help defend Americans in Erbil, Iraq, and provide aid to a religious minority taking refuge in the Sinjar mountains.
“It’s a complicated situation right now in Iraq and the president has taken very targeted actions to provide humanitarian relief that the Iraqi government requested, and to protect American citizens,” Warren told reporters. “But like the president I believe that any solution in Iraq is going to be a negotiated solution, not a military solution. We do not want to be pulled into another war in Iraq.”
Renowned for its financing strategies and media savvy and feared for its brutality, a group of Sunni sectarian extremists that now calls itself The Islamic State has expanded out of war-torn Syria into Iraq, where it imposes taxes and kills people of other religions, according to news accounts.
On Thursday night, Obama announced he had authorized air strikes to protect American diplomats, civilians and military personnel in Erbil, and humanitarian air drops of food and water had already begun to assist Yezidis, a religious minority, who fled to the Sinjar mountains.
An American-led invasion of Iraq was launched in March 2003, starting a war that was divisive politically and costly. After Obama failed at reaching accord on a new status of force agreement with the Iraqi government, the U.S. stuck to an earlier timetable, withdrawing troops from the country by Dec. 31, 2011.

We have a phony injun and a guy who was given the Nobel peace prize for nothing, he didn’t build that. Is it any wonder why anyone who pays attention would hold these two in contempt?
Warren is heap-big warmonger.
Excellent point!
Is she calling for the scalps of the ISIS terrorists?
In her response Senator Warren said “ I was disappointed that the President chose to use bombs rather than Tomahawks”
Fauxcahantas = evil
Hildabeast = evil
Fauxcahantas = anti-Hildabeast
Two wrongs don’t make a right!
No, he’s going to as little as possible while claiming he’s fighting for the cause. Their cause, not ours. He thinks nothing of the blood of our troops on his hands with this half ashed vaudville show.
ISIS offer: Convert to Islam, pay a tax, or die.
What do you recommend as a counter-offer, Senator.
