Secretary of State John Kerry says Iraq has approved what he calls a new, inclusive government.

Political infighting in Iraq has been partly blamed for creating the conditions that allowed the terror group ISIS to seize huge areas of that country. Kerry said the U.S. will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Iraqis to overcome its longstanding economic and political problems.

He also stressed that he'll be going to the Middle East tomorrow to help organize a multinational effort to confront, degrade and defeat ISIS. Kerry said every country has a role to play in eliminating ISIS.
