Republican lawmakers have questioned President Barack Obama's strategy in Iraq warning that the failure to annihilate Islamic extremists now could lead to future attacks on U.S. soil. 'If he does not go on the offensive against ISIS, ISIL, whatever you want guys want to call it, they are coming here,' South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Fox News Sunday. 'And if we do get attacked, then he will have committed a blunder for the ages.' 'This is turning into, as we had predicted for a long time, a regional conflict which does pose a threat to the security of the United States of America,' Arizona Sen. John McCain told CNN.
