If you want to post on our twitter page it is here. If you want to send us email on the matter. To were talking to reporters about issues and amongst than the current u. S. Policy of the United States saying on monday he ruled out sending more Ground Troops to fight the Islamic State. It was that press conference that the president pushed back against the calls for the u. S. To broadly rethink its strategy against extremist groups. That would be a mistake according to president obama. Whether it is mosul, raka, or ramadi, and temporarily clear out isil. At because we would see repetition of what we have seen before which is if you do not have local populations committed arenclusive governance who pushing back against ideological extremes, then they resurface. Unless, we are prepared to have a permanent occupation of these countries. Lets assume that we were to send 50,000 troops to syria, what happens when there is it terror attack generated from yemen . To send troops there, or libya . Or if theres a terrorist Network Operating anywhere else in north africa or southeast asia. Part of the president s statement from yesterday calling more Ground Troops a mistake. We went to get your thoughts on that statement. We will start this morning with john in new jersey. On the democrats line. What do you think of the president s statement yesterday . Were going to have to go in sooner or later. I say going with overwhelming force in every country. Join up and hit these guys hard fast it out wherever they strike we hit them hard and fast overwhelming force. Every time they hit we just wipe them out, that is all you can do. Do you think an overwhelming force will take care of the situation overall or would we have to revisit the issue . Probably. Its pretty much like the crusades. If you have to go and you cannot do it with 25,000 because these guys hide in houses and run into the mountains. You have to use overwhelming force with every country. You hit them with it. If they strike somewhere else you hit them there. Ohio. En is in eastlake i think that it is come to the point it is unfortunate they had to go through this because it didnt seem like we really had worldwide interest in a american until now, this big superpower maybe somebody new to bring it to its knees, but now we have the rest of the world or at least the western rest of western civilization. The president ith is trying to say, but at the same time i cite i see these isis people, anywhere from 18 to 40. These groups of people, no matter how much obama says it is going to attract more foreign fighters, i dont believe so. I believe you a large group of fighters that see the world and these powerful countries are impenetrable. It will not keep these young people from using modern electronics to try to bring larger countries to their knees. It is almost a youthful intent. Group,this is a powerful but they are very young and these people have minds, these people are smart, i call them daemonic kids, it is almost like a worldwide street gang. Staying out of there is not going to interest them. Them oh going to tell the United States is such a wonderful country, they want to leave us alone. Obama is wrong. There are a lot of points that obama makes and i agree with. I am not antiobama and i do believe that we are at a point where his thoughts are not penetrable. We may have to impeach the guy. Host that is allen from ohio. He mentions the use of ohio in the world street wall street journal and how they teach their followers about technology. The Islamic State is among the most technologically sophisticated extremist groups. It includes an eight minute video that discusses the surveillance capabilities of hostile governments. In lansing, north carolina. Caller we dont need to bring people over here, and bring more 9 11 deals in this country. We do not need to bring in here because everything is set up. Let putin take care of them, we go aheadn and and support him and he will go in there and tire them up. We are going to have to put new people to take care of us from the bottom to the top. Host the president and Vladimir Putin meeting on sunday in that event. This reporting with them at about half an hour on the sidelines. It was their first conversation since the paris attacks and a weekend agreement on trying to forge a diplomatic resolution. They agree to support a ceasefire for live the yuan led negotiations between the regime and opposition forces. Ryan is in annapolis, maryland. Caller good morning. Thing i wanted to talk about and, for a lot of people i think when we think about what we want to do in response to this stuff it is easy to Start Talking about sending troops and bombing and doing certain things but we are retried that, and it didnt work. What we have to realize is the best weapons we have in an ideological war dont shoot bullets or bombs. The best thing we have going for our country is our own values and beliefs. When our words and actions are lined that us when we are at our best and strongest. Our worse is when we give in to fear and hate mongering and start letting those emotions drive our decisions. Even if they make us feel at they are productive, they really dont solve the root problem. The president talked about it yesterday. If it doesnt get at the root problem but unfortunately it will just be counterproductive. That we haveu say to live our values practically, what do you mean you go mean . I see a lot of hate for the refugees and islamophobia, that is not what good guys do. We stand up for people that dont have rights or freedoms. Thats what makes us proud to be american. Superman wasnt a hero because he only helped certain people he helped innocent people that spend the narrative of what we think a hero is all about. Then we start to say we will turn our backs on people that need help or we will not help you because you are this kind of person, or we will only help these people, that to me is a departure from what i think we stand for. It may not make us feel comfortable but the minute we start to skew from our values that is an opportunity right there for someone to seize on that opportunity when we are not living our values and that is where we will lose the war. President calling increased Ground Troops to fight isis a mistake. The front pages this morning talk about the french president asking for more powers to destroy isis. Heres a talk about that and other related issues is ida of the world service. She is a report of that organization good morning. What is president aland asking for specifically from the French Parliament . He assessing for them to extend the state of emergency. Hes asking for more money to invest in security and armed forces. What does he think that will help them be able to do . Reallyi think he is shortterm terms of pollution. He is trying to intensify the war against isis and to just tighten the security grip in the country by arresting more people and watching what people are doing. Like what george bush did after 9 11. Host do you have a sense that the French Parliament will give him these powers . Guest it is difficult to assess what they will do. Where alle one time politicians seem to agree. Hes coming from a socialist president who are usually more keen to defend civil rights and so on, and at times they all kind of agree on the same thing that they need to watch people moreclosely and deploy money into doing that. Talk about what the french president is doing reaching out to allies, particularly the United States, where do we stand as far as a group effort . Aland said he was planning to speak to president obama and president putin. Im not sure what he is planning what they realize is that Intelligence Services have not been able to connect the dots each country has some kind of information about his attackers and how they Work Together maybe they would of been able to plot the attacks. Boy host frances Intelligence Services touted as one of the best in the world. His are any effort to increase or expand intelligence gathering in the country . Guest they already have maybe 10,000 people on this list of people being watched, but too many are listed as potential threats and they are just too overwhelmed and people are , the constantly thinking about longterm solutions about white french people are killing french people and how can you solve the problems . That there are reports french president is headed to the United States. Do you hear that as well . Guest yes. I dont know more about that. Is there a sense of normalcy within the streets . People going back to it daytoday life since this happened last week . Guest what i noticed while i was interviewing a lot of people is i did not hear people who were angry, they were mostly sad trying to make sense of what happened. On friday night people were really coming together. Taxis were driving people for free. Today the parisian culture is not too paranoid and they do not get scared that easily. So there is this cloud of sadness, the people are going on with their lives, going out and bars are full of people. On. Ink life goes id it is a reporter joining us from paris, france. We are continuing on with your calls yesterday about increased Ground Troops against isis and the president calls it a mistake. Hello. M georgia, caller pedro, i think we need aggressive with what is happening overseas and what really scares me are refugees coming in. Butsick pathetic tour them i think we need a strong leader which is why im spending six to eight hours a day working for ted cruz. He would be a strong leader and would take a strong stand and i think we would be a much safer country. I am really scared about what is happening with these refugees coming in. They dont have any good waste of that them. You know what happened in paris and it could happen here. I think we ought to really be careful on taking in any refugees from syria. From west bloomfield, michigan, this is titus on the independent line. Caller thank you, good morning. All these people claim they are why is it americans have to go die whenever terrorists kill people. They want americans to go die. We have a president obama who is not panicking. If we keep electing these warmongers, america will be in perpetual war. In kenya the attack and kill iraq, so why should American People go and die for anywhere something happens. They blame obama. We should be very cautious. The world should be very grateful that they have this black man president of the United States who has common sense. That is titus in michigan, a couple of people saying this is robert and he has learned from experience. Carol off of twitter says i dont believe obama when he says it wont work and doesnt listen. James is up next in pensacola, florida. A question for you, since world war ii, what have we accomplished . And i ametnam marine very angry at most of these people that have never been there or had to put their bodies in a body bag and fight. I am repeating myself. What have we accomplished . It seems like people who have not been there always want to put troops on the ground. My question to these politicians, democrat and republican,s and your sons with her. Even daughters because the military accepts females. Send your family over there and see what your attitude would be. Host do you think this type of warfare is different from other wars . Caller the war is a war, sir. Somebody, another , if you Pay Attention in our country 30 and younger, we lost most of them. What is the age of most of those guys and isis, are they all guys are young people . As a society i am talking about the whole planet, for some reason our 30 and young people, we have lost them. Not all of them but more than we needed. That concerns me because i talked to young people in that age group, and they tell me, old white far its like you dont do what you say you are going to do and that concerns me. Sending troops over there will not accomplish anything. Lets continue on with john in virginia on the republican line. When it comes to the war over there, i am not i wore strategist and i dont have solutions but i can tell you that what we are doing isnt working, you have speeches from our president happening friday morning how we have secured and taken back territory and later that evening you have these terror attacks. I hear the callers calling and saying this goes against our values to keep these refugees out. I think our values are being threatened and the only way to eliminate that is to not invite these people who you cannot that. They have no way of documenting or researching or proving, and it has been proven by the attacks right after obamas speech how we are safe and have can find them and then france gets attacked, there is the way they can that who these people are or what they are capable of doing. Haspresident yesterday talked about how the current efforts against isis must not be perceived as a war against islam to my here is that statement. Pres. Obama did agree that anyone would equate the terrible actions that took place in paris , those kindsislam of stereotypes are counterproductive. They are counterproductive and wrong. Lead to greater recruitment in the terrorist organizations overtime if this acomes somehow defined as muslim problem as opposed to a terrorist problem. Trenton missouri on the independent line, robert is up next. Listening toe been this. We dont need those people over here. Those people leaving their country and too cowardly to stand and fight are nothing but a bunch of bums, yellow bellied they talk about this thing in france, but what about 9 11 when our towers fell, how Many Americans ran and fled in date for help . They are just a bunch of yellow bellied cowards that wont fight for their country and that is what they want than they deserve what they get. Host here is robert. I want to say that my heart goes out to these poor people. I want to help them as soon as possible. The true reason for the motive stems from the fact that france supported palestine as an waspendent state, france yahoo harshly by bb10 that if they would proceed with that vote to acknowledge Palestinian Statehood there would be dire consequences. The people behind that paris attacker also behind 9 11. Unit to go any further than our socalled buddies in a place called israel will stop these are the people behind this. Do not have them and fall for them promoting islamophobia. The syrians are not the people behind it. The people behind it are the zionists tried to get us to go to war against places like yemen, libya and beirut. Thank you so much. Host lets hear from karen in oklahoma. Say, he just to wants to kick the can down the road and until some other president has to tend to this quagmire that he has to tend to. They come over here with no money or jobs, how are we going oftend tens of thousands people when we cannot even tend to our own. House, peoplebig in hollywood have big houses, let them take them. Host so what is the best strategy . I dont think we need to send more people in their, why are we going to give up our guys . We cannot keep taking them in here come a we need to attend to American People. The governments number one job is to keep our people safe and not president obama to act like he is god because he is not. We are scared out here and his number one job is to keep us safe so do something. Host we will continue on with your calls, this story from the New York Times is based from florence, colorado. The prison system doesnt want guantanamo detainees. Lives here aer service that unabomber and the Boston Marathon bomber and tens of thousands of other inmates from the infamous to the secure seal behind thick walls and razor fences. As president obama prepares to put forward the longawaited prison plans for closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay it puts several prisons in uproar at the detaineesy that those could become their towns newest inmates. The story continues and says that many residents say they feel safe. They do not what the notoriety of how the guantanamo detainees, tourists rely reliant county recently lost out on an effort to attract a call center and a recent sexing scandal at a nearby canyon city scared way businesses looking to relocate. If you go to the pages of the wall street journal talks about cubans interested in coming to the United States and new mexico saying the change they consider most eminent is a change to the fast track, that their compatriots have a joint for generations. The socalled revisions of the cuban adjustment act allowed migrants fleeing the island who made landfall to apply for asylum and all but certainly put in a green card in only a year. John is up next in maryland. Listen, for the president to put more Ground Troops over there, that is what they want to manyn, because of how people over there have been affected by our drone program, that is number one. And a rack. That the American People forgot about. And iraq that the American People forgot about. There is so much we have done to that part of the world that the American People are not even in fort informed of and the government not telling them. For them to put Ground Troops over there, they would love that. Would grow beyond human imagination just to kill american troops. You think the best strategy is the one we currently employ. Caller what we need is, like thingrman color, one america is supposed to stand for is a nation of laws. On the nuremberg trials, they set a standard for not just one group of people but the whole world that commits crimes against humanity. We have nations that commit all kinds of crimes against humanity and investigate itself and find itself and is sent over an
