| Feinstein Warns of Risk of ISIL Attack on America | |
| 2014-08-12 | |
“It has become clear that ISIL is recruiting fighters in Western countries, training them to fight its battles in the Middle East and possibly returning them to European and American cities to attack us in our backyard,” the California Democrat said in a statement backing military action authorized by President Barack Obama. “We simply cannot allow this to happen.” Feinstein called for a broader military campaign against ISIL, not just the targeted missions authorized by the president. “It takes an army to defeat an army, and I believe that we either confront ISIL now or we will be forced to deal with an even stronger enemy in the future. Inaction is no longer an option. I support actions by the administration to coordinate efforts with Iraq and other allies to use our military strength and targeting expertise to the fullest extent possible,” Feinstein said. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., warned of a similar possibility in an opinion piece for Time.com. “America’s security interests extend well beyond the fate of Iraq’s religious minorities. Because ISIS, with thousands of foreign fighters, many of them from the West, will not rest once it has taken Erbil or Baghdad. Its expansionist ideology will lead it to attack U.S. allies in the region and eventually Europe and the United States,” wrote Rubio, a member of the Intelligence panel. | |

| #10 Or is she competing with the Indian Princess? DiFi is very comfortable being a Senator. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if plans are being made post-retirement of both Mr. Obama and Ms. Feinstein. |

| #9 I noted with some regret that Champ and Mrs Champ may be buying a home in Rancho Mirage CA. While it might be for the golf if true, ValJar and FLOTUS are rumored to be thinking of DiFis seat and the path to the WH. As hideous a thought as that might be, it is the path Champ took in IL and expalins why DiFi and the Hildebeast are showing fangs not. Maybe Klein is right and certainly, Michelle has come to appreciate the benefits of royal life. |

| #8 Yeah, I don't care what DiFi says. She tries to pretend that she's not as crazy as Boxer but she is. I don't trust her. I don't believe that sending ground troops back to Iraq is the way to keep America safe. I'd feel a whole lot safer with those troops on our border with Mexico. |

| #7 Pappy - you're not suggesting this was a political stunt, are you? Or is she competing with the Indian Princess? |

| #6 DiFi is quite serious about being a Senator (D) from California. Ask her again, after November. |

| #5 So how many more liberties do I need to give up for her to keep me safe? |

| #4 Probably because her key voter base is concentrated enough to be a very lucrative target for some terrorists mass casualty propaganda displays. Fly over country is a bit disbursed. That and the multicultural environment in which the terrorists could swim in is rather shallow if not there at all. |
