House Intelligence Committee Chairman: Hundreds of Americans Have ISIS Associations

President Barack Obama should take stronger action against the threat from Islamist militants and U.S. foreign policy is falling apart over a raft of global conflicts, U.S. lawmakers said on Sunday.
Rep. Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican and head of the House Intelligence Committee, said President Obama’s foreign policy is “in an absolute free-fall” as Islamic State (IS), the group formerly known as ISIS, continues to gain territory and power across Iraq and Syria.
Speaking on NBC’S “Meet the Press,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, echoed Rogers and said Obama is a “too cautious” in his approach to IS.
Citizens from the U.S., Britain and U.K. who return home after training with IS represent a “very serious threat” to the U.S., Rogers said on "Fox News Sunday." Rogers said the U.S. should look to prosecute American citizens who train overseas to deter others from going.
Rogers believes hundreds of U.S. citizens have trained with IS at some point. "I'm very concerned because we don't know every single person who has gone and trained and learned how to fight," he said.
