Warren: Destroying ISIS should be 'No. 1 priority'
http://thehill.com/policy/international/216559-warren-destroying-isis-should-be-our-no-1-priority
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday said that the Obama administration should make defeating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) its top priority.
"ISIS is growing in strength. It has money, it has organization, it has the capacity to inflict real damage. So when we think about a response we have to think about how to destroy that," Warren told Yahoo's Katie Couric.

Asked about the dozens of Americans who have reportedly joined ISIS, Warren noted that the U.S. should be "stepping up our efforts to track where people go when they leave the United States."
"The terrorists have moved, and we have to move in response," she said, adding part of that "means we're going to have to change in fundamental ways how we monitor our citizens when they go abroad."

Surely a progressive socialist like Senator Sanders is against this madness
At least Dennis Kucinich is against bombing

Not many 'seasoned al-qaeda veterans' left by now. Must have watched them for a longtime
