Feinstein: ‘Candidly,’ Sunni Arabs ‘Clearly’ Not Helping Enough To Take Out ISIS

Sunday, on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” the top Democrat on Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), said in the fight against ISIS, “we have been counting on our Sunni Arab neighbors to help. And candidly there’s been some help, but clearly not enough.”

When asked whether, in light of the in attacks in Chattanooga that left five dead, we have to “remove the seduction of ISIS” by defeating them overseas, Feinstein said, “I think it does. I have said before, we’re either going to fight them there, or we’re going fight them here. And whether degrade and destroy is enough, I think the jury is out. I — We have been counting on our Sunni Arab neighbors to help. And candidly, there’s been some help, but clearly not enough. So, I think this is a constant battle, and will be a constant battle, and we have to understand, that there are lots of people out there who are going to succumb to the lures of the propaganda and try to do these kinds of things.”
