Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein Breaks with Obama: 'ISIL Is Not Contained'

Politico.com:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein sharply contradicted President Barack Obama on Monday, disagreeing with his claim that the Islamic State is "contained."

“I’ve never been more concerned,” the California Democrat and Intelligence Committee ranking member told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC Monday. “I read the intelligence faithfully. ISIL is not contained. ISIL is expanding.”

“They just put out a video saying it is their intent to attack this country. I think we have to be prepared,” she continued. On Monday, ISIL warned it could attack Washington if the U.S. participated in France's response to the events in Paris. 

"We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day God willing, like France's and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington," a man in the video said, according to Reuters, which could not verify the video's authenticity.

Feinstein said she hoped that the U.S. would work with allies to put together “coalitions and attack plans in more than one place at a given time.”

While she said didn’t know the exact number of troops that were needed in Syria, Feinstein urged President Obama to send more than the few dozen he has announced so far. “We certainly need more than 50 specials ops and we need the ability to really make a difference on the ground,” she said.

Considering how left-wing Feinstein is, this news is pretty significant. Still, Barry has no real interest in fighting ISIS because the more he fights wars, the more his Nobel Peace prize gets tarnished. Better to keep your fingers crossed, finish out your term and hope that the next 9/11 happens on a Republican President's watch.--kind of like Bill Clinton did.
