Highest-Ranking Democrat On The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee: 'Islamic State is Now In 12 Countries'



Washington Free Beacon: Feinstein Hits Obama Again: Islamic State ‘Now In Twelve Other Countries’

In her introduction of Hillary Clinton at a fundraising event in Washington D.C. on Monday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) took another shot at President Obama’s handling of Islamic State, a strategy with which Clinton has aligned herself.

“It’s often said that we have a big problem with terrorist groups and that ISIS is being contained. Well, it is now in twelve other countries,” Feinstein said.

The hit directly pushing back on Obama’s assertion that he had contained IS is hardly Feinstein’s first against the administration. The highest-ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee has stepped up her criticism this month of the president’s strategy and rhetoric regarding the terrorist organization seeking to build an Islamic caliphate.

WNU Editor: Because of her position Sen. Dianne Feinstein is always briefed on the current threat situation from the heads of America's intel community....she probably knows as much as the President on what is happening "out there". The fact that she is now being openly critical of President Obama's war policies and contradicting his claims of ISIS being contained is a surprise, and it tells me that she must be "really worried" on what she is reading to be this vocal.

ISIS is contained.

2 or 3 years ago it was contained to Iraq and Syria.

Now ISIS is contained to 12 countries.

See the DOOFUS Obama is correct.


Clinton can explain what the word "is" is

and

Obama can explain what the word contained means.

Is the US one of the 12 countries or should that number actually be 13?
