McConnell's opposition to the cancellation of Iraq war authorizations "Terrorists will not stop the war against us."
Mitch McConnell, the leader of the Republicans in the US Senate, said on Tuesday, April 8, that he is against canceling the authorizations that the Congress of this country issued for the Iraq war in 1991 and 2002. He emphasized that these permits are necessary today to deal with the threats that the United States is facing in Iraq and Syria from terrorists supported by "Iran". Mr. McConnell's comments come as the US Senate decides on Wednesday to revoke the authorizations for the decades-old Iraq war. Supporters of canceling these authorizations say that such an event will strengthen the strategic relationship between Iraq and the United States today, but Mitch McConnell and other Republicans against it believe that it will weaken the United States in the Middle East and embolden Iran and its sponsored groups. Mr. McConnell stated: "I am against the cancellation of any authorization of military forces in the Middle East. Our terrorist enemies will not cancel the war against us, and when we expose our forces, we must provide them with the maximum protection and legal authorizations." »
