The Daily Beast’s National Security Reporter Eli Lake argued that President Obama was the “last holdout” on taking aggressive action against ISIS on Tuesday’s “Laura Ingraham Show.” “When you have people saying that [ISIS is a threat] for a solid week after the Foley snuff film, and then you have the president say…‘we don’t have a strategy yet’…that tells me, and Josh Rogan and I reported this, the president is the last holdout here.”
Lake added that Obama is alone in his own party in his reluctance to take decisive action against ISIS, citing Hillary Clinton’s call for a more aggressive response to ISIS, and reporting “the last holdout is Barack Obama, there are several Democrats who are ready to move, and that, I think is a really key takeaway.”
