Pentagon says Canada approached U.S. about doing more in Iraq and Syria


UNITED NATIONS—Prime Minister Stephen Harper sought details from the U.S. on how Canada could play a more muscular role in Syria and Iraq, an offer that led to the American letter for military assistance, according to U.S. and Canadian officials.

Pentagon officials confirmed to the Star Thursday the Canadians were willing partners who approached them.

Harper appeared to suggest Wednesday it was the U.S. who took the initiative via a letter of request he received in the “last couple of days.”
