Roger Williams: Obama must reassess courses of action abroad

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Texas) today spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to condemn the president's recent suggestion that there is "no strategy" to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

"The leader of the free world told an international conference that the United States does not have a complete strategy to defeat an enemy he once called a JV squad," said Williams.

"That JV squad waves black flags while driving stolen military equipment down streets where Americans made the ultimate sacrifice.

"From overlooked redlines to bypassed deadlines, the Obama Administration will serve as a case study on how not to conduct foreign policy.

"The president wants us to believe that his administration's negotiations with Iran are in our and Israel's best interests.

"If the president and his advisers really want to salvage any trace of foreign policy competence for their history books I suggest they walk away from this deal."
