"" Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said
Monday that the Islamic State in Iraq and
Syria (ISIS) isn't contained to its territory
in the Middle East, presenting a sharp
contrast with President Obama's remarks
on his strategy to combat the group.
"I have never been more concerned,”
Feinstein said during an appearance on
MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," calling
for additional U.S. troops on the ground to
combat the militants.
“I read the intelligence faithfully. ISIL is
not contained, ISIL is expanding," said
Feinstein, a member of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, using an alternate
acronym for ISIS.
"They just put out a video saying it is their
intent to attack this country," she added,
referring to ISIS's warning it would target
the U.S. and other countries carrying out
airstrikes in Syria.
Obama maintained during remarks at the
G-20 summit earlier Monday in Turkey that
the U.S. remained committed to defeating
ISIS, but said it would be a "mistake" to use
troops on the ground.
The president's vow that ISIS had been
geographically "contained" was broadcast
hours before last Friday's terrorist attack in
Paris that left 129 people dead and
hundreds more injured.
Obama insisted Monday "there has been
progress" against ISIS, while Feinstein cast
doubt that airstrikes alone "can really
make a difference" in the campaign to
defeat the group in Iraq and Syria.""
