After a 1,400-year-old Iraqi Christian monastery was recently destroyed by the Islamic State (ISIS) most of the world condemned the demolition -- except for spokesman for the U.S. military's Operation Inherent Resolve, Col. Steve Warren.
"Thousands [of Iraqi Christians] have been killed, hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee," noted CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an interview with Col. Warren last week. "There is legitimate fear--you're there in Baghdad--that the long history of Christians living peacefully, productively in Iraq, is coming to an end. How worried should we be about the Christian community in Iraq?"
The response: "Wolf, ISIL doesn't care if you're a Christian... We've seen no specific evidence of a specific targeting towards Christians."
