Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper has reiterated that he is considering to send more Canada’s solders on ground and provide direct military assistance in the fight against the Islamic State terror army in Iraq. Earlier on Wednesday, Harper mentioned that “we haven’t ruled out anything,” adding that “we are wanting to see this be successful and we want to be supportive as best we can.”
Harper confirmed to have received an official request by the United States government to expand Canada’s military involvement in Iraq, however he refrained from disclosing what kind of military support the U.S. had requested. Currently, Canada has over 69 military advisers working in Iraq, along with its transportation of ammunition and arms and humanitarian aid to that country. Harper mentioned that “the United States just recently has asked for some additional contribution and we are weighing our response to that.”
Addressing almost 300 people at a Q&A session at Goldman Sachs headquarters, Harper mentioned that “I think all the elements that need to be done are there,” adding that “obviously they need to be built on. We do need to make sure first and foremost the terror entities cannot operate in the open on bases. We need to push them to the fringe and make their base of organization and logistical organization very difficult. A lot of that can be done from the air.” He said that “I do not believe that we can watch a terrorist caliphate, essentially what has become a quasi state establish a regime of mayhem over an entire region.”
