Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said President Barack Obama was “too cautious” when he made his now-infamous “We don’t have a strategy yet” comment on ISIS.
“I think I’ve learned one thing about this president, and that is he’s very cautious. Maybe in this instance, too cautious,” Feinstein told Andrea Mitchell on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.
“I do know that the military, the state department and others have been putting plans together,” Feinstein said. “And so hopefully, those plans will coalesce into a strategy that can encourage that coalition from Arab nations…There is very good reason now for people to come together and begin to approach this as the very real threat that it, in fact, is.”
Feinstein went on to call Obama’s earlier comments about ISIS being a junior varsity team as “wrong.”
ISIS “is a major varsity team, if you want to use those kinds of monikers,” she said. “I’ve seen nothing that compares with its viciousness…This is a vicious, vicious movement, and it has to be confronted.”
