They are going through. a complex situation in syria with so many countries involved militarily with very different strategic interests. >> it will increase the refugee problem from that country. 4 million and counting. >> you are watching cnn. thanks for being with us. the special coverage. the attacks in paris sparked a push to combat isis. after the break, we will look at how the u.k. is stepping up its own efforts.

Refugees. the u.s. leadership had been moving in the direction of letting in more. you see what happened here and the investigative findings about at least one, if not more, had been infiltrating through the refugee process. what do you think is the right balance, sir? >> there are people on my side of the aisle who say if you stop the refugees from coming to america, that fixes the problem. theres about 20 different ways to get to america. refugees are just one of 20 lanes. shutting that lane d...

I want to fight them in their backyard. shutting off refugees doesnt destroy isil. i have a plan to destroy isil. use the armys in the region which are large and professional, integrate our forces among those armys with the french and other nato nations, have an air campaign supplemented by a ground campaign of 80 to 100,000 ground forces of which will be about 10% and going on the ground and destroy these people before they hit us here at home and continue to do damage. there is no other way to...

Fate and their headquarterers. theyre not the jv team but not theyre certainly not so feet tall. if we drop a few bombs on these guys and thats it, theyll be stronger than ever. >> what about russia and iran? >> they cannot play in this. russia wants to prop up. its the guy that killed a quarter million of his own people. its the reason we had the refug refugee problem. not because of isis. to somehow get in bed with putin and its a huge mistake. we would be furthering russian and iranian influe...

And syria, not to mention here as well, and you have the need to deal with this refugee problem. the problem now is that they seem to be for some people at odds. and youre seeing this political debate play out in every country in europe and in the united states as well to the point where marie la pen, who runs the national front in paris, has local elections coming up next month, shektd do well because she says todays immigrant is tomorrows terrorist. >> and of course the french president, whos ...

Dont hit them first. look at what theyre doing to the region. we are americans. we are the good guys. we have to balance, you know, our character against our national security needs. its not in our national security interests to allow syria to continue to fall apart. it affects our friends in jordan. we dont want to lose the king of jordan to a radical islamic group. we dont want lebanon to be overrun so the syrian refugee problem affects our allies. it is a safe haven for isil. they want three ...

Or is this the right option for the white house right now? >> well, number one you need a no-fly zone inside of syria for the refugee problem so people dont have to flee their country. and you need a place where you can train soldiers, a no-fly zone allows you to do that with safety and security. this is in my view, an incremental change so it will not change the conditions on the ground. in the eyes of the enemy, this is weakness. in the eyes of our allies, this is unreliability. isil is not go...

I dont believe donald trump has the capability of doing that. >> you see the backlash emerging now in europe over the refugee problem from syria and iraq. the president said hes going to bring in 250,000 refugees into this country. my fear is and our national intelligence director james clapper said that isis in iraq will infiltrate the refugee population. if thats the case, i dont think we can risk taking one refugee in, although we can help probably on a humanitarian basis. whats your position...

Take stuff af way. for the last 30 years theyve been elected saying heres more. heres more. >> it is. they created a good society. its a question of how to handle growth. i believe if the immigration or refugee problem can be turned from a problem into an opportunity, just take syria, for example. historically second lar and not super religious in terms of political violence. europe is the only european country. its younger than america. the irish were growing like crazy before they got by banki...

Real, then russia is going to pay its price. take a listen. they have initiated a joint ground offensive, shattering the facade that theyre there to fight isil. this will have consequences for russia itself. which is rightfully fearful of attack upon russia. i also suspect in the coming days the russians will suffer casualties in syria. >> governor? >> this is the first time in a very long time, having anything to do with the middle east that i agreed with john mccain. in order to solve the refu...
