Sen. Johnson Questions Sec. Kerry at Foreign Relations Hearing on ISIS

Published | Video Starts at 04:28

But if what we're really doing is just going in the backyard and poking that hornet's nest with a stick, isn't that a concern right now? If we aren't fully committed to wipe out ISIS quickly? You mentioned Brett McGurk provided powerful testimony to this committee back in the end of July about the threat that ISIS really does represent. Being able to funnel 30 to 50 suicide bombers into Iraq per month. Now, we've seen those suicide bombers come from Australia and Germany and America with passports. And Mr. McGurk's comment was they could easily funnel those suicide bombers into the west and into America. (04:28–04:43)
