France Votes To Extend Airstrikes Against ISIS In Iraq

PARIS (AP) France's lower house of Parliament on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved extending French airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Iraq.

The vote came after France's worst terrorist attacks in decades. Last week in Paris, a man claiming allegiance to the Islamic State group killed four people in a kosher grocery and a policewoman, while two brothers that he knew for years claimed ties to al-Qaida in Yemen as they killed 12 people at a newspaper office.

"France is at war with terrorism, jihadism and radical Islamism," Prime Minister Manuel Valls told the National Assembly to thundering applause ahead of the vote. "France is not at war with a religion. France is not at war with Islam and Muslims."

The vote was 488 to 1. One lawmaker argued not to extend the campaign, saying the situation on the ground was improving and warning that more bombing could invite more extremist violence but the government and other lawmakers vigorously defended the campaign.

France quickly joined the United States in conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State group last year after the militants took over sections of Iraq and Syria. French law requires a vote on extending such operations after four months. France is not bombing in Syria.

‘American Sniper’: Eastwood Turns Lens on Navy SEAL in Iraq

"Every person I killed I have a clear conscience of, because they were actively trying to harm Americans, allies or civilians." Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle

The wartime days in Iraq of Chris Kyle, who had 160 confirmed kills, is the lens through which director Clint Eastwood chose to tell his latest tale, "American Sniper" (The movie shares the title of the best-selling book that Kyle authored about his career as a marksman in Iraq).

Kyle's story is set amid the chaos of Iraq's bloodiest urban battles. "I think I'd like people to try to understand Chris Kyle and the mentality of all the people who were around him," Eastwood told NBC's Nightly News. "I'd like them to feel what it's like, the nervousness of war, and (have) an appreciation of what they're doing."

But Kyle won't be seeing the film: He was tragically killed in 2012 at the hands of a veteran he was trying to help, some three years after he left the Navy.

His wife, Taya, said she wished she had understood when he was on the battlefield that it wasn't just the military brotherhood Chris was staying for.

"He was too humble to say, 'Taya, I'm saving lives every day out there and I can't stand the thought of not doing that," she said.
