Grassley Reaction to President’s statement on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)

Sen. Chuck Grassley tonight made the following statement in reaction to President Obama’s remarks on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
 
“The President has been operating from a leadership deficit on how to deal with this threat.  That’s left a lot of uncertainty among the American people, as they see the ruthless acts of terror carried out by these extremists. The message from the President has to be that the United States will protect American citizens and help U.S. allies against a terrorist threat.  The United States has to help our friends and partners in the region fight off ISIS.  The President needs to secure the support of the American people with a clear strategy on how the ISIS threat will be degraded and destroyed.  The time for delay and indecision has passed.  I look forward to more details in the coming days on the U.S. strategy to eliminate this terrorist threat.”
