Senator Dianne Feinstein says the U.S. must confront ISIS now or deal with the militant group when it is a much more dangerous threat.

Feinstein, who serves as chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, explained her position in an op-ed published on USA Today's website Sunday evening. She focused on the two videos recently released by the militant group, depicting the beheadings of two American journalists; James Foley and Steven Sotloff. She said she believes the group has grown into a "significant military force" and controls large territories in Syria and Iraq.

"The threat ISIS poses cannot be overstated. This is the most vicious, well-funded and militant terrorist organization we have ever seen, and it is very quickly consolidating its power," Feinstein wrote.

"This is why I strongly believe the United States must lead an aggressive, international effort to confront and eliminate ISIS, including sustained airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. President Obama has now said that he intends to 'degrade and destroy' ISIS. I look forward to hearing the specifics of the president's plan when he speaks on Wednesday. We either confront ISIS now or we'll have to confront it later -- when it will be a much stronger enemy."

Feinstein continued saying.............

I think that Senator Feinstein should introduce a bill that calls for the President to conduct air strikes in Iraq and Syria if that is what she believes should happen.
