Dan Sullivan, candidate for U.S. Senate, released the following statement tonight in response to President Obama's address to the nation.
"In recent weeks Members of Congress from both parties have leveled harsh, yet fair judgment against President Obama for his clear lack of planning when it comes to stopping ISIS in the Middle East," said Sullivan. "The president's remarks this evening represent a much needed departure from his misguided statement just months ago that this emerging threat to our national security was akin to a 'jayvee team' or the even more recent statement that the United States lacked a strategy to deal with ISIS. On this, the eve of the thirteen anniversary of the September 11th attacks, it is more critical than ever that the President continue to work with Congress, and communicate to the American people, a strategic plan to reverse and rout the spread of Islamic extremism in order to protect Americans and our allies in the region."
