We do not want to have boots on the ground. We made a decision not to have boots on the ground.

When ISIS was rolling through Iraq, like Sherman through Georgia, they were robbing banks, taking over oil fields, and really building quite a financial presence--quite a treasury.

As Senator Carper said, the traveler phenomenon has changed, dramatically, since last summer.

ISIS is really good at social media. Really good.

Simply put, we must continue to defeat and destroy these guys.

We are kicking these guys all over Iraq, and we are kicking them around in Syria.

I think we should at least admit that, and then look at some of the facts.

I am proud that this Committee passed a bill, with bipartisan support, to enhance the ability of the Department to work with the Muslim community, and others, in order to counter the violent messages of ISIS and other terrorist…

They are losing on the battlefield. They are looking for other soft targets.

The 60-nation coalition that we lead has put ISIS on the verge of defeat in Iraq and Syria--and in Libya.

You have come a long way--provided great leadership and put together a great leadership team.

For that reason, shrinking the size of territory controlled by ISIL and denying the group access to additional manpower--that remains a top priority.

We simply cannot arrest our way out of this problem.

Compared to 2 years ago. Two years ago, ISIS was rolling through Syria and Iraq like Sherman through Georgia.

I am also troubled that the FBI is unwilling to even admit that they may have made some mistakes.

Can you present that plan to us, say, sometime in the next week?

Maybe, we should talk about whether or not the FBI's policy should change--about how long you keep an investigation open.

We need an Agency of our government devoted to cybersecurity.
