Tom Rooney Slams Obama's Handling of Islamic State

U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., a member of the U.S House Intelligence Committee, ripped President Barack Obamas handling of Islamic State (IS) terrorist forces in the Middle East on Tuesday.

Congress has known for months that IS poses a significant national security threat, and that it needs to be destroyed, Rooney said on Tuesday. If Congress knew that IS was a serious threat, and the media knew, and the American people knew, then why didnt the president? Why did he insist that IS was a JV squad?

Despite the presidents pathetic attempt to shift blame, this was not an intelligence community failure; it was a failure by him to act on the unequivocal intelligence assessments he received, Rooney added. The president should accept responsibility and apologize to the American people for this gross incompetence. To claim that the intelligence community underestimated the threat is an insult to those professionals and to the American people.
