Three days after the Paris attacks, France has stepped up its bombing campaign against ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria.

“On the refugee issue, yes we can’t them come to the United States, but the refugees are a symptom of a failure of policy, and I hope that a few of my Republican colleagues like Senator Cruz and others who wouldn’t even vote for the defense authorization bill will realize that this is the result of their failure to advocate for the things that Lindsey Graham and I have advocating for, for years”, he said.
