motorists and bar baric. a lot of people outside the west, why are you so surprised this is happening in yemen or syria or places like afgh afghanistan. the reason is europe was founded on the idea that it had overcome these pathologies and murderous paths. it went through the worst of it in world war ii then we were reminded that we can have an advance and so-called civilized country like german which led the world in science and industry and yet murderous acts. we are seeing it again. russia is a modern country. it is a relatively wealthy country. in some senses part of europe. you are seeing a kind of level
bringing together a boss and a worker. it had happened before. it is rare. and under these circumstances, it is not ideal. president trump now back from his visit to the war zone. we will get reaction from a congressman that served in afghanistan. that s next. - why are drivers 50 and over switching to the aarp auto insurance program from the hartford? let s take a ride with some actual customers and find out. - well, tell me about your experience when you switched to the hartford. - when i switched to the hartford,
sentiment? sure. you agree that he is projecting what the objectives are? i think the troops are there to fight. obviously to succeed for the mission. and obviously the mission for our troops in syria was to defeat isis. but at the same time, it s also doing what bolton said, john bolton said, ensuring that iran does not become an ever lasting presence there and pushing back on that. that is something that we re basically advocating when we re taking troops out of syria to do that. when it comes to afghanistan, i think it is time to have a strategy set out. i appreciate the strategy. what are the conditions? we have been waiting to hear that ever since that change in strategy was announced. what conditions are they looking for? right. and we re still waiting to hear that.
assets and so forth that could be used outside of the country. but when it comes to developing that raw intelligence, nothing beats having boots on the grounds in the country. i think we have shown that it can help by the success we have had in syria going after isis and actually basically isolating them. the problem is isis is not over. isis is not dead. there are reports of 20 to 30,000 troops, 20 to 30,000 isis fighters there in syria, possibly iraq. we need to be aware of that. we need to continue this fight. and it helps that we have troops in syria to do that. i do want to ask you about one thing the president said there about the mission in syria. and i think this translates to afghanistan as well. he said the men and women who serve are spiteentitled to clea objectives that they can come home and be with their families. do you agree with that
if you are sitting there saying, oh, we re going to pull out half of the troops that are there, what is the strategy? and that s what i would hope that this administration comes up to capitol hill, tells members of the house armed services like myself, but also tells the american public. considering it s been the longest war in our history, we deserve that. and i hope that this administration understands that, and i hope the president understands that in setting out a long-term strategy for afgh afghanistan and for iraq as well. let s play let s make a deal. let s solve the government shutdown right now. i m going to come to the table and i m going to say we ll accept $2 billion for border security, which might include some improvements to the fences and whatnot already there. would you take that as a democrat? okay. i think what it comes down to is that when you are talking about border security, inevitably you talk about comprehensive immigration reform.
