Mr. Speaker, the Associated Press reported Friday the global reach of the Islamic State. This clearly clarifies we are in a global war on terrorism, confirming we must defeat Islamic terrorists overseas or they will murder here again, as they did in Orlando and San Bernardino. The article reveals: ``The U.S. battle against the Islamic State has not yet curbed the group's global reach and as pressure mounts on the extremists in Iraq and Syria, they are expected to plot more attacks on the West and incite violence by lone wolves, CIA Director John Brennan told Congress. ``In a rare open hearing, Brennan gave the Senate Intelligence Committee an update on the threat from Islamic extremists . . . `ISIL has a cadre of Western fighters who could potentially serve as operatives for attacks in the West' . . . `Furthermore, as we have seen in Orlando, San Bernardino and elsewhere, ISIL is attempting to inspire attacks by sympathizers who have no direct links to the group.' . . . `our efforts have not reduced the group's terrorism capability and global reach.' '' In conclusion, God bless our troops and may the President, by his actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
