Conservative MP on Iraq: 'Obama's done the right thing'
Conservative MP, Nadhim Zahawi who was born to Kurdish parents in Baghdad says that President Obama has "done the right thing" by launching air strikes to combat Islamic militants, ISIS, in Iraq.
However, he emphasises the point that Britain's focus is on the "humanitarian effort" and "supporting America". Mr Zahawi says that "the Kurds have the heart to fight" Isis, but has welcomed the US President's "quick and decisive action".
