“Well, I mean, I know what you want me to say, But I’m not going to say it in that sense. I think I’ve learned one thing about this president, and that is he’s very cautious. Maybe - in this instance - too cautious.
I do know that the military, I know that the state department, I know that others have been putting plans together, and so hopefully those plans will coalesce into a strategy that can encourage that coalition from Arab nations.”In other words, various pieces of the U.S. defense spectrum have been putting plans together, but so far none have quite managed to live up to Obama's preferred strategy of doing nothing. She says that "hopefully" these various plans will "coalesce into a strategy." So don't worry. Everything's under control. Feinstein was a little more forthcoming when asked about Obama's decision to label ISIS as the "junior varsity" team back in January.
“Well, I think it’s wrong too. I think it’s a major varsity team, if you want to use those kind of monikers. I see nothing that compares with its viciousness I've been on the intelligence committee now since before 9/11 and I've watched the evolution of non-state actors into world-terror very closely. And, this is really the group that has the wherewithal in terms of financing, the fighting machine, in terms of a structure, heavy equipment, heavy explosives, the ability to move quickly... I mean they crossed into the Iraq before we even knew it happened. So, this is a group of people who are extraordinarily dangerous. And they’ll kill with abandon.”As it gets harder and harder for Democrats - particularly in light of the mid-terms - to defend their president's administration, you can expect to see more of this. We get tired of writing "If they've lost so-and-so..." but: If stalwarts like Feinstein are no longer willing to toe the company line, they must truly be in a sorry state behind closed doors.
