    Iraqi Ambassador Says Government 'Desperately' Needs U.S. Intervention

    The Iraqi Ambassador to the U.S. Lukman Faily called on the U.S. on Tuesday to help the Iraqi army fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), by providing weapons to the Iraqi military and by conducting airstrikes on the militant group. Faily claimed that his government was running out of time.

    Over the past two weeks, the Sunni militant group has taken over several key cities and has forced hundreds of thousands to flee to Iraqi Kurdistan. On Monday, the group declared it had formed an Islamic caliphate, and vowed to expand its occupation in the region.

    “We desperately need US assistance to turn the tide,” Faily said. “We believe that immediate and increased military assistance including targeted airstrikes are crucial to defeat this growing threat. Time is not on our side … further delay benefits only the terrorists.”

    The request came at the same time the Iraqi parliament took a weeklong break from negotiating the formation of a new government -- one that was supposed to include all political and ethnic parties and present a unified front against ISIS. But just a few hours into the meeting, Sunni and Kurdish leaders walked out, forcing the country in to political limbo.

    This is not the first time the Iraqi government has asked for U.S. support. On June 18, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the senior ranking member of the U.S. armed forces, spoke before the Senate Appropriations Committee, claiming that the U.S. had received a request from the Iraqi government to use its air power in the conflict.
    "We have a request from the Iraqi government for air power," Dempsey said.
