Attacks call Obama's strategy into question. After administration was touting progress against Islamic State, Paris marks a stunning setback.

Politico reports:
Coming just a day after President Barack Obama's comment that the Islamic State had been "contained," the terrorist attacks in Paris have cast doubt on the administration’s strategy and efforts to show gains against the jihadist group, which claimed credit for the carnage.

Obama convened a National Security Council meeting on Saturday, at which his team briefed him on the latest intelligence from Paris and noted that there is no specific or credible threat to the United States, while French President Francois Hollande called Friday's attacks an "act of war."
