Foreign Policy Initiative co-founder Dan Senor applauded President Obama for taking action in Iraq against ISIL but expressed concern over a lack of a long-term strategy.

“A strategic case for the long haul we haven’t heard from the president. He began to lay the groundwork in talking about this is going to be a long haul as we discussed earlier and the steps he’s taken so far are important. But I think what the American public needs to hear, we are a war-weary public, look at every military action, just about every military action that the U.S. government has taken since World War II, the American public has always been against it. This is no exception,” Senor said on Morning Joe.
