McCain on ISIS: 'We Are the Enemy, They Want to Destroy Us, They Are Getting Stronger'

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said ISIS in Iraq is a direct threat to the United States because, “We are the enemy. They want to destroy us. They are getting stronger all the time.”

The Arizona Republican said Americans and Europeans, “Are coming to fight on the side of ISIS are returning to their countries. In Europe and there’s 100 of them that we are tracking in the United States. As I mentioned to you already had one was in Syria, came back to the United States and then went back to Syria, and blew himself up.”

“Mr. Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, when he left our Camp Bucca,  the camp in Iraq, said ‘See you in New York,” he continued. “We are the enemy. They want to destroy us. They are getting stronger all the time. They attracted thousands of young men around the world who are now fighting on their side. This ISIS is metasthesizing and their goal as stated time after time is the destruction of the United States of America, and it’s not John McCain that’s saying it, it’s the Director of National Intelligence, Director of the FBI, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and lately the Attorney General.”
