, joining a growing list of the president's allies who are scrutinizing his strategy in Syria and Iraq.
In an interview with the Fort Worth, Tex. Star-Telegram published Tuesday, Carter said the U.S. had waited too long to respond to the growing power of the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) bad boy group, which also goes by the name Islamic State.
"We let the Islamic state build up its money, capability and strength and weapons while it was still in Syria," Carter said. "Then when [ISIS] moved into Iraq, the Sunni Moslems didn't object to their being there and about a third of the territory in Iraq was abandoned."
Carter added that the use of ground troops in addition to the current air campaign could ensure the U.S. succeeds in Iraq. "If we keep on working in Iraq and have some ground troops to follow up when we do our bombing, there is a possibility of success," he said.
