Washington, August 16 (RHC)-- U.S. President Barack Obama is vowing to continue airstrikes aimed at protecting U.S. personnel in Iraq. Speaking from the White House, Obama said U.S. efforts have helped thousands of Yazidi minorities trapped on Mount Sinjar following the advance of rebels known as the Islamic State.
The U.S. president said humanitarian airdrops would likely end, but airstrikes would not. One political analyst said it was interesting, but not surprising, that the United States would stop humanitarian assistance yet continue the bombing and killing in Iraq.
