Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said that she is against declaring war on the Islamic State terror group, arguing that it would be too much of a strain on the U.S. budget.

“If you have a declaration of war, you’d better have a budget that backs it up,” Clinton said during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, according to Reuters.

“I do think that we have to do a better job of understanding the threat that is posed by radical Islamic jihadist groups,” she added.

The U.S. and a broad team of international allies have been launching airstrike operations against IS, which has captured several cities across Iraq and Syria.

President Obama, however, has yet to sign a formal declaration of war, preferring to stick to coordinated missions aimed at slowing the advance of the Islamic militants who are trying to establish their Caliphate on the captured territory.
