| Description | WASHINGTON ― U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said Tuesday the Biden administration supports repeal of the war authorization Congress provided in 2002 to invade Iraq, teeing up action in the Senate on Wednesday.
Sherman spoke at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, where top lawyers for the Pentagon and State Department said repeal would not affect ongoing military operations or the ability to protect U.S. troops in Iraq.
“I want to state clearly that the Biden-Harris administration believes the 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Iraq has outlived its usefulness and should be repealed,” Sherman said. |
