US envoy to the UN calls Islamic State 'monstrous group'

WASHINGTON - The US ambassador to the United Nations said Thursday America doesn't have to be perpetually at war, but it must take on the surging Islamic State group.

 

The US needs the support of other nations as it advances "a campaign to degrade and destroy" the terrorist network, Samantha Power told NBC's "Today," calling the Islamic State a "monstrous group."

 

Power went on to say the Obama administration is heartened by pledges of cooperation in this effort, but says a much greater commitment is needed. She said the world must not only defeat terrorists, but also needs to keep people from becoming recruited and choke off funding sources.
