We Must Destroy the Islamic State

Statement

Date: June 12, 2016
Issues: National Security Defense

The Islamic State continues to make headlines by brutally murdering and maiming innocent civilians. This militant Islamic terrorist group eagerly claimed responsibility for two horrific bombings in Baghdad on Wednesday, May 11th. They also continue to publish "kill lists" with the names and addresses of thousands of US citizens.

Although we've taken out some key leaders of the Islamic State and helped Iraq regain territory, we have a long way to go before they are completely destroyed. The Islamic State and its evil ideology have spread like a cancer to different parts of the world.

We need the resolve, the strategy and the resources to complete this mission. More forceful action must be taken immediately to end their reign of terror once and for all -- before more lives are lost and families destroyed.
