The United States welcomes the decision by the Turkish parliament to extend the mandate of Provide Comfort II until the end of December. Provide Comfort II is a multilateral operation designed to protect all the peoples of northern Iraq from the depredations of Saddam Hussein. Operation Provide Comfort is working to deter Saddam Hussein's repression of the Iraqi people and prevent a recurrence of the 1991 refugee crisis.
