Biden informs Congress to bomb Baghdad: An authentic right to defend America
Shafaq News / US President Joe Biden, on Saturday, informed Congress the details of the strike carried out by the army in Baghdad last Thursday, which resulted in the killing of Mushtaq Taleb Al-Saidi, the assistant commander of the Baghdad Belt of operations in the Popular Mobilization, nicknamed “Abu Taqwa”, in a development that may have an impact on the relationship between Washington and Baghdad.
In a letter to the Speaker of the House, Biden said his decision to launch a military strike in Iraq came “as part of his responsibility to protect U.S. citizens,” stressing a willingness to “take further action, as necessary, to address further threats or attacks.”
“I have directed this military action consistent with my responsibility to protect U.S. citizens at home and abroad, and to promote national security, and his external interests, in accordance with my constitutional authority as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and as President of the country,” the letter said.
He added that his country “has taken this necessary and proportionate measure in accordance with international law,” considering that the United States “has exercised its inherent right to self-defence, as stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter.”
