Obama vows no repeat of Iraq mistakes
Print Edition
US President Barack Obama said in Stockholm yesterday that he would not repeat mistakes made in Iraq as his country considers military action in Syria, adding that he believed he would get Congressional backing for strikes.
“I’m somebody who opposed the war in Iraq. And I am not interested in repeating mistakes of us basing decisions on faulty intelligence,” he said at a briefing in the Swedish capital.
Obama also said that he hoped Russian President Vladimir Putin would change direction on a military intervention.
“I’m always hopeful ... Ultimately, we can end deaths much more rapidly if Russia takes a different approach to these problems,” he said.
The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s top members have drafted a resolution permitting a “limited and tailored” mission in Syria, as long as it doesn’t exceed 90 days and involves no US troops on the ground.
