Tonight, Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, made the following statement in response to President Obama's address to the nation:
"The President's speech was an attempt to shore up the eroding confidence that Americans have in his terrorism policy. What we need is not a political sales job but serious, sustained action. The marginal changes in military tactics he has taken since Paris demonstrate that the President continues to be reactive, rather than go on the offensive against a dangerous enemy. He has consistently underestimated this threat and has consistently been a step behind in dealing with it. I see no evidence tonight that he is changing his views or policies."
