"...Maliki wants U.S. military aid, from helicopters to airstrikes, to fight the ISIS advance. Many in Washington will want to offer assistance to save Iraq from complete collapse. But at the same time, U.S. policymakers understand from painful experience that such military aid will simply enable Maliki’s autocratic sectarianism and allow him to avoid making any serious concessions. Yes, the United States should try to use this moment of leverage to attach political conditions to any military aid.

Some Turkish nationals have been taken captive in Iraq.

"I strongly condemn the violence we have seen in Iraq and the hostages taken. Our thoughts are with the hostages, their families and loved ones," Rasmussen said. "We urge the hostage takers to release the hostages immediately. Nothing can justify this criminal act."
