Dem Rep. Smith: Admin Needs To Be Clear About ISIS Strategy

‘As long as they exist they can launch attacks ... we must put together a clear strategy to defeat them’

"However, the chairman's absolutely correct, that's not enough. It is not enough to contain ISIS. Because as we've seen in Paris and Beirut and elsewhere, as long as they exist, they can launch attacks. We must put together a clear strategy to defeat them. That is the other thing I will agree with the chairman on, perhaps not that strongly, but the administration does need to be clearer in saying what that strategy is and that they are absolutely committed to it. I actually think they have a better strategy and a more comprehensive strategy than at times they have said. Let's not forget that the president said less than a year ago, we don't yet have a strategy. That's the kind of thing that doesn't need to be said. We need a much clearer message about what that strategy is."
