I believe this action is necessary to bring ISIL to justice, and that we must work with our international allies to bring this terrorist group's barbaric actions to an end.” “We must take decisive action to address this threat before more American lives are lost. The President should not make these critical decisions unilaterally, and Congress must play a leading role in setting foreign policy and ensuring our national security. I will continue to work with my colleagues in both parties to provide rigorous congressional oversight as we work to combat ISIL and keep our country safe.” Last week, Kuster joined the entire New Hampshire congressional delegation in introducing a resolution to honor the lives of James Foley and Steven Sotloff and condemn ISIL. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
