Max Boot, Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said the current situation in Iraq is a “horrifying scenario” and argued the Obama administrations lack of strategy is concerning in the fight against ISIL.

“I think the situation, Joe, is about as bad as you can imagine, because here you had this fundamentalist Islamist State, very similar to the Taliban in Afghanistan before 2001. And they have taken control of a substantial portion of Syria, as well as Iraq,” Boot said on Morning Joe.
