South Dakota Senator John Thune has been very critical of President Obama’s approach to combating the threat from ISIS. He made a speech on the floor of the Senate outlining his concerns.
Thune says the President continues to downplay the threat…..

Thune says the US response to ISIS has not been strong enough….

Thune says he would like to see American air strikes stepped up….

Thune says the US should not lead with combat troops. He says that should be up to allies in the Middle East, closer to the threat.
