California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein
is calling for the U.S. military to attack ISIS in Iraq. She has also
said the besieged country’s current leader, Nouri al-Maliki, needs to
step down.
“I think most important is that we take direct action now against
ISIS, marching down to Baghdad, and prevent them from getting into
Baghdad,” said Feinstein, who is the chair of the Senate Intelligence
Committee.
Feinstein believes a “reconciliation” government needs to replace
al-Maliki, who was approved by the Iraqi government for a second term as
president in December, 2010.
“I think it’s most important that the Maliki government be replaced,
and that includes Mr. Maliki with a reconciliation government,” she
said. “Based on all I’ve heard, read and know, Mr. Maliki is not able to
bring about reconciliation in that country.”
The Saudis, who supported ISIS and other jihadist groups in Syria and
Iraq, also believe al-Maliki should be replaced. The Saudis, who are
Sunni Muslims, have refused to meet with the president of Iraq, who is a
Shia Muslim.
