Col. Jack Jacobs blasted President Obama’s national security team Thursday after reports of new violence and the resurgence of Islamic militants in Iraq.
Echoing Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz), Jacobs called the team "weak" and "isolated."
"A lot of decisions it [the national security team] makes to the president are either ill considered or [they] do not consider everything that needs to be considered," Jacobs said on Andrea Mitchell Reports.
Earlier in the day, McCain took to the Senate floor and called for the entire national security team to resign.
"What do we need to do now? Obviously, the first thing I think we need to do is call together the people that succeeded in Iraq, those that have been retired, and get together that group and place them in responsibility positions so that they can develop a policy to reverse this tide of radical Islamic extremism which directly threatens the security of the United States of America, and it’s time that the president got a new national security team," McCain argued.
