Cotton Statement on President Obama's ISIS Remarks

Press Release

Congressman Tom Cotton (R-Dardanelle) today issued the following statement in response to President Obama's remarks on ISIS last night:

"The Islamic State is a mortal threat to America and Arkansas. President Obama finally acknowledged this threat after months of dismissing them as 'the JV team.' Yet President Obama still hasn't laid out a real strategy to defeat the Islamic State, nor is he committed to victory if he thinks terrorist havens like Yemen and Somalia are models of success. Time will tell if the president appreciates the gravity of the threat and if he finally commits to victory. Meantime, I will continue to advocate for actions to fight and destroy the Islamic State, just as I did when I fought their precursor, al Qaeda in Iraq, as a soldier in Baghdad."
