“To talk about containment is really a joke,” said Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) to Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace on Sunday.

Asked about ISIS’s global footprint and the threat it posed to American and other countries outside of the Middle East, Burr said the Islamic terrorist organization is currently in thirty different countries and has a reach across Europe and in North America.

Acknowledging that ISIS may be geographically contained within Iraq and Syria, Burr said its capacity to project terrorism “is as robust as it’s ever been.” This contrasts with Obama’s previous description of the “JV team” ISIS as being “contained.”

Asked about President Barack Obama’s strategy towards ISIS in light of the President’s choice to not announce any news steps in the war against the Islamic terrorist organization during his press conference with French President Francois Hollande, Burr said, “Well, we have no strategy.”

In the past few weeks, about five hundred deaths have been attributed to ISIS, including the attacks in Paris, Ankara, and Beirut, and the bombing of the Russian airliner in the Sinai.

Burr also said that over the past twelve months, there had been more “threads of threats” both domestically and abroad than had been seen since 9/11. He also said the FBI had “wrapped up” over 67 individuals on terrorism-related investigations, either having laid charges or currently being in the process of doing so.

Former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Robert Gates said on Sunday that Obama’s efforts to combat ISIS must be “intensified.” Speaking with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd for Meet The Press, Gates said that Obama’s stated efforts to destroy ISIS needed “to be sped up an intensified.

Another former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director, Leon Panetta, expressed similar criticism. He told Todd last week that insufficient resources had been applied to Obama’s stated objective of destroying ISIS.
