CBS: Top Democrat says Obama's ISIS strategy isn't "sufficient"
The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee has critical words for President Obama's plan to fight the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, or ISIL), saying the situation in the Middle East is only getting worse and the U.S. is running out of time.
"This has gone on too long now. And it has not gotten better. It's gotten worse," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday. "There may be some land held by ISIL in Iraq and Syria that's been taken back. But for all of that there's much more they have gained in other countries."
The strategy has taken on fresh urgency in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris earlier this month that left more than 120 dead. After the attacks, Mr. Obama promised an "intensification" of U.S. airstrikes against the group and assistance for local troops on the ground, and argued those tactics were working.

Mr World news Editor:
The new intrusive ads really suck!
WNU Editor,
Quite the collection of National Security State faures and MIC scumbags they assembled, and quite the useless advice they gave.
Jay .... aside from the political rhetoric ... no one in Washington really wants to get involved in this mess .... hence the criticism of President Obama .... who himself does not want to get involved in this disaster.
Anonymous. I do not know what you mean by intrusive ads. Please explain.
WNU Editor,
Beltway Debates about FP are always Group Think quibbles about numbers of bombs and numbers of boots,
Nobody ever questions if boots and bombs arn't the answer, because boots and bombs have become the answer to all America's problems, from Tax Inversions, crumbling infrastructure, educational collapse, to the rise of the yuan.
