Washington D.C. – Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) made the following remarks after President Obama’s speech about ISIL: “ISIL is a vicious terrorist group that controls significant land and resources, has repeatedly called for the destruction of the United States and has publicly killed two U.S. citizens in the most brutal way imaginable. I am glad that the President has come around to recognizing this threat for what it is, and has outlined the beginnings of a strategy to confront it. “We must be steadfast in defeating this enemy, half measures will not do. The President must remain engaged and must provide leadership for this fight. We have chosen to confront this enemy with force, and we must dedicate the resources necessary to utterly destroy it.” # #
